Elegant Family Photoshoot at The Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch in Gilbert, Arizona
Everything about this gallery just screams elegance!!! This beautiful family, the Arizona landscape, and the evening light... every single detail played an amazing role in bringing this whole vision together. We shot this family photoshoot at the Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch in Gilbert, Arizona. This is a great location, lots of greenery and a beautiful collection of Saguaro's all placed in one place for a beautiful background. This location is best on a weekday as it can be very busy during the weekends!
One of the details I love the most is their neutral/soft green palette pairs elegantly (I am going to continue using that adjective again and again because it is so true haha!) with the greens of the spring desert landscape and saguaros. This is one of those sessions that just flowed so seamlessly... we laughed, we got to know one another, we had some fun, and I am so pleased with the final result for their gallery. You can just feel the love, joy, and calmness through every image.
My goal for families when we photograph together is to come prepared, that way you can relax and enjoy our session together. The more relaxed mom & dad are, the more relaxed the kiddos will be as well. This is why I take the planning process so seriously with my families before we meet for our photos... I am certain that with better preparations and planning, that will just set us up for success from the start. I provide you with guides, a pre-session call, and I am available to you as needed to discuss outfits, prepping the kids, and whatever you may need in readying for our time together!
