Phoenix Wedding Photographers shoot “sister” portraits at Scottsdale Civic Plaza.

My Dad decided that there was only one thing he wanted for Christmas this year: portraits of his three daughters. Since I’m a photographer, this should have been a simple request, however, I AM one of his three daughters. So it was up to my talented husband Ryan to take over the shooting responsibilities!

Our business plans have always included both Ryan and I behind the camera, but so far, most of the bookings we’ve had have been on the weekends, and he’s usually working at his day job. (If only paying the bills wasn’t so important! We don’t really need electricity, do we?) Anyhow, this was Ryan’s first official shoot and I have to say, I think he did exceptionally well!

Here’s a few of my favorites:

I love my sisters! Unfortunatly, we hardly get to see each other outside the holidays because our schedules are so different. Both of my sisters (Cheri on the left and Amy on the right) are nurses. Amy works as a labor and delivey nurse and Cheri works with troubled teenagers. I guess I just never got the medical field bug. I like Scrubs as much as the next gal, but I don’t want to work there!

I loved the tree with all the orange leaves in the background for this next shot! It’s so rare to see the passing of the seasons here in Arizona. This shot looks more like a fall day back east than a winter day in the desert.

A little sister silliness . . . (my idea of course!)

Amy has recently taken up Yoga, so she was the inspiration for these next shots – Ryan laughed the whole time he was shooting this part – so what if we look a little silly!

Ryan stood on top of a rather precarious trash can to get this next shot!

This last shot is my absolute favorite. Aren’t we a cute family? Merry Christmas Dad!
