It’s not a surprise that the sun is bright and strong in the desert of Arizona. And we all hope for a little cool down once November hits, but rarely does it cool down until almost December. We photographed this fantastic family towards the middle of November and it was still pretty warm out! The sun was shining and bright- it hardly felt like winter! But The Valles’s didn’t seem to mind and were a flurry of energy regardless.
We loved spending some time with Sam, Dawn, Diego and Aidan for an afternoon. We started our shoot at a random tree alongside the road that stood alone and was just too beautiful to pass up. We had the kids gather up some of the leaves to throw around for a few frames, which was our small way of making it seem more like fall and winter! These two brothers are boys to the core and although brothers, they were completely different in personality. Diego is very much a rule follower. He loved when we gave him direction and he had a lot of great ideas of his own! Aidan was such a little adventurer! He loved to explore all of the surrounding areas and you could tell it was super hard for him to stand still. The both did so great! These two adorable brothers compliment each other well and you can tell that Sam and Dawn love them tremendously. We had such a great time with them for that afternoon and were able to get some great shots of them as a cute little family!
Here’s a small sample of the afternoon that we spent with them…
