family

The season for outdoor photography (or, at least, comfortable outdoor photography) will wind to a close in a few weeks, but we were able to sneak in a family portrait session on a gorgeous Arizona spring day over this past weekend. Had a great time with this family, who are a photogenic bunch.

While the next image is a little unconventional, I love the spontaneity and the genuineness of it. In this fraction of a moment, the camera captures something authentic about this beautiful little girl.

And here is her equally handsome little brother.

Several years ago, my friend Kimo and I, on the spur of the moment, drove up to Lone Pine, California and hiked to the top of Mt. Whitney and back in a day. He was very patient with me, but essentially hiked me into the ground.  He now has a clutch of mini-hikers that he is trying to train in the ways of the outdoorsman. They arrived in Phoenix yesterday for the Thanksgiving break and I had a chance to photograph them at a nearby park this morning.  Here are three of the five minis:
