These moments are what make me so happy to be a sunset family photographer in Mesa, Arizona. I love, love, love a classic portrait. Where you all sit and smile at the camera. But more than anything, I want to capture the way you cuddle your baby. Dance with your daughter. Kiss your spouse. And honestly capture the chaos that is your family. For better or for worse. Sunset family photography can be stressful, as a mother of 5, I know that very well first hand. My oldest is basically an adult now with my baby being only a year. I can tell you that the photos I have of the scrunched faces, silly dances, and tiny hands in mine are my favorite ones of my littles. And that’s the gift I want to give to you as your family photographer.
The best places to take sunset family photographs in Mesa.
This is one I get asked all the time. I have been a sunset family photographer in Mesa for 14 years. This means I know all the best spots. This beautiful location in in East Mesa at the Salt River. The mountain views are to die for paired with the gorgeous saguaro cactus’. Spring and fall are my favorite times of year here. When the sun aligns just perfectly over the mountain behind this tall saguaro cactus. It leaves for some breathtaking family photos. The salt river is not the only beautiful place to take family photos in Mesa. Lost dutchman, Usery, and Waters Users are some of my other favorite spots for your family sessions.
When is the best time of year to take family photos in Mesa?
Personally, I am a fan of spring time for sunset family photos in Mesa. Specially if we have had a wet winter. Things are blooming and looking lush. I find that in October and November you still run the risk of it potentially being warm. That means the traditional fall clothes that are popular for family photos will be really warm and you may be uncomfortable. Fall ends ups being a super busy time for photographers. So I always recommend popping into spring to catch a session for updated family photos. If you’re looking for Christmas card pictures – a Christmas mini session would be great for you! The calendar books about 4-6 months in advance. Meaning if you’re looking for a session in fall or spring, it’s never to early to book your family session!
