Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the Hemmer family at Buffalo Park here in Flagstaff. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, partly-cloudy day to romp around at one of their favorite places in town. Miriam and Ezra were such troopers and naturals in front of the camera. And Helen and Jason are total #couplegoals!
I know Helen from work and was so honored she asked me to capture her beautiful little family. In planning our photo session, I knew this was going to be a great one! She was looking for less posed, more natural photography that would tell the story of her family at this stage in their lives which perfectly aligns with my own photography philosophy. I had so much fun with this cute family and would love to create more photo magic with other families or couples in the Flagstaff area!

After a weekend down south visiting my grandma, my parents joined us in Flagstaff during our favorite time of year. The aspen shed their leaves a little earlier than expected but hiking Inner Basin still did not disappoint. Last year, we had tried to hike Inner Basin only to be chased out by an incoming storm so we were excited to get back out there this year with my parents in tow. They were champs! Remembering back to our first few weeks in Flagstaff, I know just how hard the transition to 7,000 ft. elevation can be but despite being low-landers, they were amazing! After 4 miles, much of which was at a somewhat steep gain in elevation, we were pooped and spent the rest of the day recovering and baking an apple pie (this is turing out to be a tradition whenever my parents visit Flagstaff in the fall). The next day we headed out to one of our favorite, lesser known places in Flagstaff: Hart Prairie. After we arrived and hiked the short distance to the old abandoned cabin we love, we were devastated to learn that it had recently been fenced and caution taped off due to thieves harvesting its warm, ancient wood and subsequent collapse. My stomach sank as I thought about how horribly a few people had disrespected this admired, historic building. Despite the devastation, we enjoyed sharing one of Flagstaff's hidden gems with my parents and even got a few (totally adorable) snaps of them. Our October was filled with travels and visits from family and friends and although we're happy to have our routine back to normal, sharing Flagstaff has been one of the greatest parts of living here.
