You may recognize some of these spots on Rock Rose Ave. at the Domain from my location scouting blog post.

I also want to show that these backgrounds work just as well for a family photo session. Especially a fun-loving, laid-back family like these three 🙂

We played by the plants…

… and checked out the Wonder Bar’s seasonal window display…

… as well as enjoyed their rainbow tile work.

And even though it was crowded on a Saturday night, we still found spaces to claim as our own.

Plus if you wear a sweater for your family photos when it’s over 90 degrees, there might be one last stop you make before you go home.

Please enjoy this sneak peek from their family photo session. You can see the rest of the images at their (password protected) gallery HERE.

1. How do you know Stephanie Friedman Photography?

We know Stephanie through our son, who attended Montessori school with her boys.  My son was three the first year she did a photo session with us, and it was a huge help that she had children the same age and understood the unpredictability of toddlers, and now of 8/9 year olds – it is just a different kind of unpredictability!  I am always grateful for Steph’s laid-back approach to her photo sessions and her sense of humor.

2. What was your favorite part of your photo session? 

Although I’d been to the new Rock Rose section of the Domain quite a few times, it was a great location for a photo shoot, and I was able to appreciate it in a new light!  The brightly colored walls and varying backgrounds made it a great choice for our location this year.

3. What advice would you give to other families planning a photo session?

Be natural and laugh when Stephanie is taking your pictures (even if your child is whining about the heat or just generally driving you nuts).  Laughter makes for genuine smiles! 

4. Anything else you’d like to add?

We love Stephanie Friedman Photography!!
