A couple of years ago I was able to take family photos of the Andersons and it was great to get together with them again to take some updated portraits of the kids, Audrey and Elliot. For this photoshoot, we met up at Tempe Town Lake and had some fun in the park. (Fun fact about the Andersons: Their mom, Michele, was my wife’s favorite babysitter while growing up in Tucson. Small world.)
Michele enjoys quilting, so we thought it would be great to incorporate a quilt into some of the pictures. This particular quit was made by the great-grandmother of Michele’s husband. I think great-grandma would have been pleased to see a photo of her great, great grandkids on her heirloom quilt.
Michele wanted to feature some of the activities that Audrey and Elliot are involved in this year, as well as snag a picture of Elliot with his little red wagon (which he has taken a photo with every year of his life, the first one being at nine-days-old).
A couple shots of Mom and the kids:
To end the photoshoot, we let the kids release their balloons (they told me that they were sending the balloons up to heaven for their dog Meeka). What a great way to end a fun day! Thanks Anderson family!
I am a professional photographer in Chandler, Arizona and I absolutely love what I do! I love working with people. Stick me in a cubicle and I’ll probably go crazy. As a photographer I get to celebrate and be a part of the lives of the people I work with. I get to see brides smilling big as they walk down the isle to their grooms. I get to freeze special moments with couples who are pregnant with their first child or moments where they are holding a newborn in their arms. I get to photograph high school seniors and encourage them as they prepare for their college dreams. I know that these moments in life are so important which is why I care so much about my work, and why I strive to do the best I can to capture these memories and emotions for you to enjoy years later. My passion for life and photography can be seen in my work.
