the bala-heisig family
Since Saru and Mark both work full time and were also not originally from Phoenix, I choose a location that was in close proximity to them (only 20 min from Central Phoenix and the Scottsdale area), as well as a place that was a beautiful mix of desert, mountains, and greens. I knew this easy to access area would be a perfect place for them to explore with their 1 year old, while enjoying the nature around them.

the johannsens
A beautiful family of 3, the Johannsens wanted to play with their son in nature while celebrating their family unit.
We chose the beautiful Salt River in Mesa, AZ to explore, play in water and walk around to have the surrounding trees, desert mountains and river to look at and capture as our backdrop.

the mokarry family
The Mokarry family have been in love with their little boy since before he was born!
They were excited to celebrate his first birthday with a family session where he could explore, test out his new shoes now that he walks, and spend some time in the beautiful Phoenix mountain preserves.
We got to laugh, snuggle and play!

the Russel family
The Russel family wanted to celebrate their sweet girls first birthday by doing what they love to do best: playing, reading, relaxing and ice-creaming together.
We spent their session playing music, snuggling both inside and in their lovely yard. Their dog joined in the fun and we ended off the session with some ice cream and laughs.

As a mother of three myself, I recognize the power of meaningful and joy-filled family experiences in creating a stronger family unit. Family photo sessions are fun for the kids and relaxed for the parents, so you can focus on the love and affection you feel toward each other, while creating positive and joy-filled family memories that reflect your unique and authentic personalities.
Your final gallery of photos will be there to always remind you of how cherished you are to each other and empower you to feel confident and capable as a parent, giving witness to the beauty in your own lives.
Spending quality time together as a family allows you to foster stronger connection with your kids and gives you opportunities to enjoy the beautiful family you are raising.

As a mother myself, I understand how important it is to feel good about your body, your family and your time spent together.

Rivkah Leah is a super talented photographer. I get very nervous before and during family photo shoots, but her calm demeanor really helped me stay relaxed. From helping our family choose coordinating outfits to holding my 18m old while snapping away to really capturing the personalities of each family member, Rivkah Leah is the full package!

Rivkah Leah was great for our family photo shoot. She handles the chaos of young kids during photos very well and is very patient. She helps take the stress off of the mom (let’s face it, moms do most of the work putting these things together) by helping coordinate outfits and including items from her client closet. She also makes a point to help mom remain relaxed during the shoot. Will definitely book her again!

Rivkah Leah made our family photo session dreams come true. She’s so professional and easy to work with from the beginning to the end. She wasn’t phased by our large crew and worked so well with children of all ages… especially our busy toddler :) She gave us wonderful advice for color schemes and clothing and chose a gorgeous location for us. We are so grateful for the experience and look forward to doing photos with her for many years to come.
