Shelby Senior Portrait Gilbert Arizona

Something magical happens every year in the AZ desert. In about the time span of a week or two, if we are lucky, wildflowers and flowering bushes suddenly erupt in color.

It’s pretty amazing to see, and even more amazing when it lines up with a photo session! Hands down, one of the best places in the South-East valley to see this is at the Gilbert Riparian Preserve.

This was the setting of our evening for Shelby’s senior session. The park was bursting with an array of yellow bushes, trees, and ground flowers.

It was a perfect match for Shelby’s bright personality! Shelby is another senior I’ve had the privilege of “blossom” into a beautiful young lady.

As we walked around the lake, we took advantage of the lake and the foliage.

At one point, we even found a place that looked like a pre-made senior photo backdrop with yellow flowers climbing up a rustic horse fence!
