Arizona Family Photos - Skinner Fam

The Skinner Fam emailed me to photograph them while they were on vacation in AZ! First of all, how fun to have family photos taken while on vacation? Second of all, so flattering that they chose me to photograph their family out of all the other Arizona photographers?! I had so much fun showing the Skinners around San Tan Mountain Regional Park - the teens had never seen a cactus in real life before so it was fun to see their reactions!

I know photos with teens can be difficult at times. My best advice for photographing teens is to be open and extroverted right away to get them comfortable. Follow their lead and get a read on who the funniest/most extroverted is and get them involved in hyping up everyone else! Photos with teens CAN be fun, promise! Here are a few examples of the posing/prompting we did with the Skinner fam and their teenagers:
