There’s nothing quite like capturing family memories under the Palm Springs sun. Between the tall swaying palms, sparkling ponds, and vibrant desert colors, this desert oasis creates the perfect backdrop for both playful and heartfelt portraits. From candid moments of couples laughing together, to multigenerational family gatherings, to the sweet joy of kids being themselves, each photo tells a piece of the story. What makes these sessions so special is the mix of posed portraits and authentic, in-between moments—preserving not just how everyone looked, but how they felt in that exact moment.

These darling people, the Gibson family. When they come to the desert they always stay at the Omni Rancho Las Palmas. This year the WHOLE family got together, grandbabies and all so you know what that means? Photos!! Yay! I’m so glad they called me because they were an absolute delight to work with. It was eleventeen hundred degrees out but they were troopers with a great sense of humor and can do attitude, my favorite kind of people!

We found a nice spot on the lawn in front of the pond and had some fun!
