aurora photo: all around town...

This session (featuring one of my many offspring), was a very fun way to spend a comfortably warm Arizona August evening. I have made a point to regularly photograph each of my kids, in their very own full length session, at least once a year. And with the amount of kids that I actually have, this keeps me busy for half the year! So, it was Javen's turn. We were going to start out at Westgate, the sporty modern vibe kind of fits the most coordinated and athletic of my kids, but alas, there was a massive concert, and the place was packed, so off we went. Our first stop was a sunny parking lot behind a restaurant in historic downtown Glendale. Then we moved on to Sahuaro Ranch Park, and all in all, I'm terribly pleased that we bypassed Westgate for something simpler. The laid back vibe of the Ranch was much more suited to Javen and his easy, wide grins, and where else can you be photographed while chasing kittens, chickens, and peacocks?!?!

Max jumped in for a few snaps with his brother and best bud, and after we finished, the boys found a little rabbit hiding under a grapefruit tree. The two boys, holding hands, and silently tip-toeing over to the bunny, with exaggerated "quiet" steps and sneaky arms was possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen. I of course snapped one last images while they crept up on their furry friend...
