Scottsdale Family Photo Session

December 13, 2018 by Jennifer Sutton

Scottsdale Family Session Jenn Sutton Photography

I love shooting family portrait sessions in Scottsdale, like this one I got to photograph at the end of November for Tiffany and her family of beautiful girls.

Arizona Family Photography

One of my favorite things to do as a family photographer is to find the perfect backdrop. I have to tell you: living in Arizona has spoiled me for good scenery! You might think that Arizona is only deserts and cacti, but you would be wrong. There is such a diverse and amazing level of natural beauty here in Arizona depending on where you are. In Scottsdale, for example, I have not only contemporary urban locations but also vast deserts and different luxury resorts I can use to mix up the backgrounds for my family sessions. With so many different resorts to choose from, you basically have your pick of gorgeous backgrounds.

Chandler is only a short drive away, and you can find some beautiful wooded parks in addition to cityscapes. Or maybe you want to go to the deserts in Gilbert! And, of course, Phoenix itself has everything you could look for when it comes to scenery.

While I love shooting in the desert, it’s also fun to find wooded locations to mix things up. I also make sure to rotate my families to new locations every year so that they never have the same backdrop or location. After all, you don’t want to get into a rut! I want my families to have as much fun with their family portrait sessions as I have photographing them, and part of that is finding good locations. Most of the locations I use for my family photography in Phoenix and the metropolitan area are private. I try not to make my clients put up with crowds when they are trying to focus on their own family!

Scottsdale Family Portrait Session

For this particular family portrait session, we got that “Scottsdale in the fall” feeling, with full autumn colors on display. We had a great session as we hiked around. Locations like this are perfect for a nice, relaxing photography session, because it feels like a little adventure! I also loved that Tiffany had coordinated their outfits without making everyone match. The soft colors went well with the fall backdrop.

Tiffany, thank you for bringing your family to this session! I loved spending time with you all! Thanks also to my assistant for helping make this session amazing.

Jenn is an artist and has an eye for detail in her photography. She beautifully took the ideas we had and ran with them to create perfect set ups for our photos.  She gave wonderful advice on what to wear and accent colors to make the photos pop to catch the eye, as well as made suggestions for props.  I even called her while shopping for our photo shoot to get her advice on the outfit for our daughter! I had suggested an area we liked for a photo shoot.  She went to this spot prior to our scheduled time to meet and decided to venture out a little bit farther into the desert from there. She found the absolute perfect spot for our shots and timed the sunset photo shoot just right.  When we arrived at the spot she had found, I kept thinking, ”How did she ever find this picturesque spot?” The answer is, it is the artist in her.  She captured our family, props, the landscape, the sunset all at the same time to create photos that took my breath away! We’re grateful for these beautiful photos to treasure, capturing time that goes too quickly.

I still have no words, and that saddens me. There’s so much I want to say, but I can’t get it all out of my chest... We are going through some major birthing pains, and in the unrest change will come. My hope in all of this is that we can come together in our humanity with greater compassion, love and service to one another. This is always my prayer. 🙏🏼 I feel blessed that my business has allowed me to connect with people of all cultures, I have had the opportunity to go overseas many times and document their stories over the last 30 years. I am also blessed to have many clients of many different nationalities and networking groups that allow me to interact and get the chance to learn and discover people stories. But it will never be enough.  There’s so much pain in the world and in America it’s an illusion to think that there isn’t... Having traveled to only Third World countries, until recently, when you see how most people live, it brings to light what life is truly about... love, compassion and above all else, H O P E!  Let us be in solidarity with all people and band together in this, loving our neighbor as ourself.  I am overwhelmed, but in my feed and amongst the people I choose to surround myself with, I see nothing but love, let us all rise up! Really seeing and sitting with each other’s pain is the first step! *This is graphic made with a stock photo
Ahhh siblings! Can’t live with them, can’t liv Ahhh siblings! Can’t live with them, can’t live without them! 😉  Just kidding! I loved working with this duo! They’re playfulness and banter were a riot! We had so much fun out on location!  I have to say I’m pretty proud of my bunch, they’ve been getting along great! Somehow quarantine actually brought out the best in all of us! I’m so grateful that they support one another, cheer each other on, and genuinely enjoy spending time with one together! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork 🙌🏼❤️ how are your kiddos getting along this quarantine? Do you get along with your siblings?
