As a 20-year Scottsdale family photographer, this is of my favorite places to capture beautiful, sunlit memories for family portraits. The iconic red rocks, glowing desert light, and wide-open skies make it the perfect backdrop for family photos full of love, laughter, and connection.
Recently, I had the joy of photographing the fun-loving Birdi family here at Papago. With three sisters who all share a love of dance, this session was bursting with movement, joy, and genuine family bonds.




The Birdi's were perfectly coordinated in outfits that complemented the natural tones of the desert — flowing dresses in soft neutrals for the girls and mom, and a light shirt and stone / khaki style pants for dad. Their laughter and warmth instantly filled the space, and we had a lot of fun capturing these!














Thank you Birdi family for the fun and beautiful family photoshoot! If you’re dreaming of your own family photo session surrounded by Arizona’s gorgeous desert scenery, I’d love to help you plan it.
