His shooting style was natural, with minimal interruption to the activities, and our guests kept telling us how much they liked Arian.

How it works

Three steps, none of them hard.

01

Pick your evening

Tell me the evening that works and the part of town you are in. I reply the same day with a time and a spot chosen for the light.

02

Get the styling notes

A short note on what to wear and what to skip, so everyone looks like themselves and the colors sit well against the desert.

03

Thirty easy minutes

Gentle direction, room for the kids to be kids, and the light doing most of the work. Your gallery arrives within a week.

Where

Anywhere in the Valley.

I come to you. A few places that photograph beautifully at this hour:

  • The Camelback foothills in Paradise Valley
  • The McDowell Sonoran Preserve in North Scottsdale
  • Papago Park and the Arcadia orchards
  • Old Town's white walls and bougainvillea
  • Your own backyard or pool at sunset

Paradise Valley, Arcadia, North Scottsdale, DC Ranch, Silverleaf, Troon, Desert Mountain, Gainey Ranch, McCormick Ranch, Pinnacle Peak, Old Town Scottsdale, and Biltmore: all a short drive. If you would rather be photographed at home, the At Home family session is built for that, with aerial photographs of the house and grounds.

Questions

Good to know.

Why is the Fall Session $495?

I am back in Arizona full time and I am filling the fall calendar. It is $495 through September 30, in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and North Scottsdale.

Is thirty minutes enough?

For a family at golden hour, yes. The light is at its best for about forty minutes, and a short, well-directed session keeps children happy and parents relaxed. If you want more time, two looks, or your home as the location, the full family sessions are the right fit.

Where do we meet?

Anywhere in the Valley. I suggest a spot near you that will have the best light on your evening, or we shoot at your home.

What if the light or weather turns?

Arizona in the fall is kind, but if an evening is rained out, you move to the next one that works at no cost.

Can grandparents or the dog come?

Please. Everyone in the household is welcome, dogs included.

How do I hold a slot?

The session fee holds your evening, and evenings go in the order they are booked.
