Ava always wore a crown when we first met her. All those years ago (it was 2006!) we met Ava and her family during another photoshoot on the bridge at DC Ranch Marketplace in Scottsdale. Even today we still have a photo from that day hanging in our office because it means so much to us!
But as the time comes with all our little girls, Ava is now graduating from high school and getting ready to make her way in the world. So of course, we celebrated with a senior portrait session and well as an updated family portrait session for the beautiful Maleki family. (We even snapped an updated professional headshot for dad!). These guys really know how to have a good time. And yes... we were eating In-N-Out burgers throughout the shoot and capturing all the unique, hilarious, special moments that come with that, hah! In this age of always chasing perfection, the Malekis are a family who simply does their thing, soaks up the truth, and turns it into something beautiful. We are deeply grateful to photograph so many families who truly value the important things in life.
Photographing Ava's senior portraits was nothing short of a touching experience for us as it has been so special to watch her grow up through the years. We love this family and always look forward to the next time we will see them!
Have a peek at some of our favorite moments from this senior portrait and family portrait photo session!
