Phoenix Botanical

If you haven't ever been to the Phoenix Botanical Gardens it is a must see place at least once a year.

They have done a great job keeping up the gardens as well as always having something in bloom to attract visitors no matter what time of year. Spring is the best due to the cactus blooms but even in October there are some great shots to be had.




Besides the great shots there are several trails to hike and outdoor concerts on cool fall nights.

Pilar

Well the weather is getting better every day here in Phoenix and with this change came the change of Pilar from a child to a woman.

Pilar celebrated her 15th birthday this past weekend and I enjoyed shooting her event for her very much.

Martha

Yesterday was a day that reminds us here in Arizona why we live here. It appears summer has finally passed and the days of one hundred plus degrees are gone for awhile.

The shoot was for Martha's 15th birthday celebration. She was a joy to shoot and this dress was a great color for her.

Now that the harsh summer has passed and with that the rain that we just had, the grass and trees have come to life once again.

Horseshoes

Well it has been one of the hottest summers on record here in the desert and I think it is finally coming to an end.

My hope is to get in a lot more shooting this fall than last, maybe take a few trips up north or even down to the southern part of the state.

I really have been wanting to shoot San Xavier Mission where Ansel Adams had shot years ago.

I know I will be going to Sedona in a few weeks and hope to get some good shots there.
