This session of Payson AZ Family Photos marks the 6th year of one of my favorite swaps ever. Since 2017 Mikaela and I have done each other’s family photos and it’s one of my favorite Fall traditions. Even though we’ve moved three hours away we knew that we had to keep this swap tradition up! […]

I was extra excited for these Red Knolls Family Photos. Why? Ricky and Dahana are some of my past Prickly Pear VIP wedding clients!! I first met them in 2018 for their vintage pie cafe inspired engagement session. Late that year we met up for their gorgeous Phoenix wedding. (If you’ve been around a while […]

This Payson AZ Family Photo Session was incredible. Can I just pause for a minute and tell you how awesome this family is?! They moved to Payson intending it to be temporary and have stayed as they saw needs they could fill and experiences for their children. They are involved, hard working, kind, talented, and […]

When you come to Rim Country for a weekend getaway, stop for a quick mini session of Pine AZ Family Photos! This family did just that, and it was such a fun way to start their vacation off. Their outfits were spot on, their interactions were so sweet and genuine, and the light was absolutely […]

When it comes to Mt Graham family photos, or any family photos for that matter, I love a location with a view. Being able to still be in the desert, but be high enough to get a view of the valley and the Safford mountains, this spot is a favorite. I went to college with […]

Green Valley Park in the heart of town is the perfect place for Payson family photos. The Payne family came to town for family photos and we loved walking around the park, rolling down the hills, and looking at the ducks that are always there. We’ve done Jackie and Andrew’s family photos on their family […]

Shooting Payson family photos in monsoon season is always a gamble. My friend and I were watching the radar closely and sent Marco Polos back and forth while she curled her hair, wondering if we were going to be able to actually shoot that evening. Thankfully the rain lifted in town and once we actually […]
