Arcadia photography comes up with some great kids portrait ideas and one of the most fun was photographing this child eating pudding. we had pudding everywhere and so did he. Not only did we come up with some great images the parents loved, but we made a great memory for everyone involved. Our studio still smells like chocolate.

Fall is our favorite time of year to do portraits of children. The leaves change here pretty quick so it is a short window of time, but it’s possible to get some very un-Arizona looking images that make for beautiful  and artistic portrait photos. Plus, if the photo sessions are done around Halloween the portraits are ready to give as gifts and use for cards and the holidays.

We photographed the Moehn family last week in North Scottsdale at their parents residence. The house was great to shoot in as was the desert landscaping outside and around the house. It was a really nice day and desert up by Pinnacle Peak is beautiful for Scottsdale portrait photographers, creative portrait photographers, and creative portrait photographers. I had shot their wedding about five years ago and now they have a daughter. So, I photographed them and their siblings families along with the parents and then the entire group.

Just before Christmas I created some unique portrait photography the Cornwell family at Freestone Park in Gilbert, Arizona. It has become one of my new favorite places to shoot in the east valley. There are plenty of places to shoot including a merry go round carousel, riding the train, and feeding the ducks. Photographing in the fall is best because not only the weather is great but the sun is so low in the sky you can almost shoot at any time of the day and it lends helping Scottsdale portrait photographers do some great portrait photography and to making great images. 

I shot the Ressler family last weekend at their home in Scottsdale. I brought a studio set up and we did both studio type images and outdoor location images all at one time at one location. We shot the entire family, then all three of the families, and then each of the smaller kids. With a couple outfit changes this is the best way to get the most out of a photo shoot. You are more likely to put more pictures up in your home to enjoy if they do not look like they were all done at the same time. As professional portrait photographers of their wedding also a couple years back, it is alway great to keep photographing people as their families grow. I love doing high end portrait photography and creating artistic portrait photos for families anywhere in the valley of the sun. 

Six, Eight, and Ten years old. About as good as it gets in life. I shot these great portrait photos of these girls at Freestone Park in Gilbert, Arizona this week as all the leaves were falling in the 70 degree temperatures. Awesome. I will shoot portraits just about anywhere though and just about anytime of year. If you are looking for a high end portrait photographer to create artistic portrait photos give me a call.

Last weekend I photographed Eddie and Katarina’s wedding held on a small clearing on the side of Camelback Mountain in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Being a creative wedding photographer shooting weddings at private residences are my favorite places, especially when they are on the sides of mountains. I also shoot weddings in Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona. 

I photographed Corbin and Lori Snyder’s family portraits at Freestone Park in Gilbert, Arizona last week. I had never done photography there before but it is a cool place with many areas to shoot. Predominantly being a portrait photographer in Scottsdale I also do family portraits in Arizona all year round but this is the best time to do them when the leaves are changing. 

Brian & Tania’s wedding was this month. They were married in St Timothy’s Church in Mesa, Arizona and their reception was at the Wright House in Mesa, Arizona. My associates and I as  did their wedding photography as a team all day from the mornings hair, make up, and getting ready pictures till their sparkler lit exit after midnight. We took thousands of images and edited it down to just over 900 of the best images. We then spent dozens of hours editing, renaming, resizing, color correcting, and retouching all of the final images. The entire project was delivered in a online wedding web site to them with in only a couple of weeks. 
You came here looking for modern wedding photographers.

It’s very common for couples who hired us to photograph their wedding to call us back a few years later to photograph their children. I photographed Andrew and Christina’s wedding a few years ago and recently they came back from Chicago and asked me to photograph their son Alex.  We always like to include studio and location photography when we create great images. We did some of the photography in the studio and some on location and the entire shoot took less than a couple hours. Fall is also the best time of the year to do this because the images can be used for holiday cards and as gifts for relatives. Please contact me if I can do anything for you and your family when it comes to portraits. These photographs of Alex will be cherished for a lifetime and the investment will only grow in value as the years go by. At Arcadia Photography we pride ourselves in being artistic portrait photographers and we hope it shows.
