Such a fun little family! They were in Palm Desert on vacation and thought it would be a good idea to get some fresh family photos done while in town… and I AGREE!! Its never a bad time to refresh those family pictures, particularly when the kiddos are so young, they change so much in just a few months! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided a nice spot across the street from their hotel was perfect, it was easy for them to access and offered some nice “desert” scenery without having to traipse all over the desert with a toddler. We chose sunset (of course) and the light was just magnificent… take a look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
