Yep…that’s what I call it!  This past Sunday I had the opportunity to photograph the Boyle family.  Instead of the urban feel they wanted something more out in nature.  So I suggested a spot that I had just visited two weeks earlier with Eric’s sister’s family’s shoot.  It’s a favorite spot of their’s and now mine too.  Funny thing is when we did his family’s session there wasn’t a person in sight.  Now of course when I take clients (now new friends) out there…a security truck rolls by & even border patrol shows up.  Luckily they were just checking out things and were totally cool with us being there even though they did haul ‘you know what out’ to us.  Yep they were really roughing it down the hill & fields to get to us and all by foot.  But that’s a first.  Never been chased down before.  My heart was racing.  It was exciting.  Ok well back to the shoot…Eric had reminded me when we arrived to not forget to try this shot.  I’m so happy I did.  It’s totally fun, silly, and edgy.  I could see it as a huge canvas art piece.  It’s kinda my spin on the ‘pitch fork’ shot with the husband & wife out in the country…but with no pitch fork…LOL.  We didn’t have one of those out there.  The family was so great & they even brought along little ‘Dixie’ their long haired dachshund puppy.  Which of course every time I turned around Eric had her in his arms.  Such a sucker for little dogs.  Can’t wait to show you the rest!  I got some great ‘in the moment’ shots as well with the kiddos running through the fields.  You can never go wrong with a lovely clear blue sky & lush yellow fields of grass…I mean HAY.

Two Sundays ago I had the pleasure to photograph a Super Cool Way HIP Family. me2 session style. Alexa, Ryan, and little Luke were so comfortable to be around. First off…a session goes ah-Mazing when (1) a client gives me the opportunity to scope out a location I have in mind for them…meaning it’s usually something totally unique that I haven’t ventured out to yet, (2) when all they can think about is their session & go shopping or plan out their attire, (3) most important…they allow me total CREATIVE REIGN when directing & photographing their portraits. Yep then magic happens & my artwork comes alive. That’s why I really really enjoy my clients. They trust me and my visions. Love it. I knew when Alexa first contacted me that this was going to be a fabulous shoot! They live in Scottsdale, Arizona and I was able to shoot at a brand new modern ‘retail/residential loft living hot spot’ -Safari Drive. My husband Eric first brought up the idea & I am so glad he did! I *heart* being an artistic couple…awwww. The location combines everything I love within a shoot. An ah-mazing atmosphere. The lines, color, space, and textures make me wanna jump for joy. And now I’m doing exactly that after seeing these images. They scream ‘purple nickel style’. YIPPIE. Now if I could just find more locations like this in Tucson…ugh. I really like road trips though. Thanks again Bowen family. I know you’re not gonna stop staring at them!
