Here are some of my favorite locations around the valley
&I CAN'T guarantee the locations will look the same they do in the pictures below or that the sun will be in the same spot in the sky... if it's cloudy on your chosen day, the photos and colors will look a little different!
(South Gilbert)
Field on Higley (Higley & Queen Creek Rd):
(Central Gilbert)
Riparian Preserve in Gilbert (Guadalupe & Greenfield Rd):
Church at the Grove/ Gilbert & Queen Creek Rd (2777 S Gilbert Rd, Chandler):
*Green leaves through the end of Nov... (brown leaves in Jan).
Cotton Field in San Tan Valley:
*This location is only available in November.
(Downtown Queen Creek)
Old Queen Creek Fire Station:
Queen Creek Town Hall (across from the old fire station):
Pecans Neighborhood:

*if you want a "Fall" feel... this is a good location... this was the last week in Nov.
Veteran's Oasis Park:

Salt River Area (Phon D. Sutton):
*There are other locations along the salt river (there is an orchard looking place too)... all require a $7 parking tag.
Hole in the Rock

What you get: 45 minutes of family/individual photos, AT LEAST 25 high resolution, edited, digital photos sent to you in an online gallery where you can download and print where ever you'd like (I typically deliver 25-75 photos per session depending on size of family/length of time/etc) You can also print the photos directly from the gallery website.
What to wear: Neutral colors always look nice and have a timeless feel. Loose dresses or long sweaters tend to be more flattering for women (plus your photos will look extra nice!), button down shirts for boys/men, suspenders... but whatever you feel flatters you/your spouse/kids will probably look best! You can also wear hats, bring props, a blanket... whatever you'd like.
