I headed out to Tempe Town Lake a few weeks ago to meet the Savages for family photos.... AND headshots for their mom's city council bid! I've done headshots for an author before, but never a candidate. Very cool, huh? Isn't she fab?

I met the Savage family because I did their niece Suzy's photos last month. I just love referrals, especially when it's within the same family.

We had such a blast walking along the lake finding cool spots to take pictures. And even though it was a crummy evening light-wise (seriously, a cloudy day in Arizona?), we made it work!

The Savage dad (see, isn't it a cool last name?!) is Chris, and he's a Chandler firefighter. We decided not to hold it against him that he was on A shift, but he's since switched to B shift, so now we can totally be friends (firefighters are so funny about shifts! "B is Best!").

The boys are football stars in the making, and from what I can tell, these two actually like each other. And they got to pick out their own outfits. Now that's cool parents.

Thanks Savage family for a fun Monday night in Tempe! I had a blast. Let's do dinner at Four Peaks, eh? :-)

I'm way behind on blogging my recent photo adventures. It's photo season in Arizona! Summer drags on with the heat and the afternoons too sweltering to drag my poor clients outside to grab fabulous photos. I'm finally, happily, once again filling my weekends with beautiful families wanting pictures for holiday cards

.

Two weeks ago I took a break from doing families to take pictures for John, a baseball star in his senior year of high school. I tell ya, I do not envy this guy's parents! The girls must be crazy over him.

Speaking of his parents, I did their wedding just a year and a half ago, and I'm pretty darn fond of this family. I was so glad we found an excuse to see each other again.

We had such a great time running around Tempe with his family in tow. He had the fierce look down, and was amazing to take pictures of.

And check it out, we had time for a few family photos too!

You know what I think? I think I could do senior pictures all the time if the seniors are as fun as this one.
