Molly and her sweet kiddos were the cutest! Molly and her family are from Canada, but spend winters here in our lovely desert, Palm Desert to be exact… and before they head home for the beginning of school, they wanted to grab some sweet family photos. They likely won’t be able to visit as often since the oldest is starting school, so this was the perfect opportunity to document them in the desert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We chose the gorgeously manicured desert park where the Faye Sarkowsky<\/a> sculptures are. Molly wanted a “desert” look and we figured this was ideal because it was also super fun and safe for the kiddos to run around and explore. The park really is a lovely little oasis right in the heart of town.
The Palm Springs Art Museum<\/a> (in Palm Desert) is also there as well as La Spiga Restaurant<\/a>, if you are craving Italian food, or Cuistot<\/a> if you prefer french food. Its a wonderful little corner in Palm Desert, go check it out! <\/p>\n\n\n
