So Jessica contacted me wanting her family photos somewhere in the desert and she was adamant she wanted that gorgeous golden hour light.  So we agree that the cove in La Quinta was the perfect spot.  The kiddos could run around and be safe and we could throw in a few photos here and there.  LOL!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I just want to point out that I mentioned &#8220;chaos&#8221; above.  This is not a negative comment&#8230;  I LOVE the chaos.  Bring me all of your family chaos.  I personally find the chaos wonderful and REAL.  Those of you who have young children KNOW that its virtually impossible to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time and I for one don&#8217;t mind!  I find the &#8220;imperfections&#8221; perfect.  See, I want to document your family as it is.  Not a curated, photoshop version of it, but the REAL you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll notice that I&#8217;m showing a mix of &#8220;perfect&#8221; photos as well as some of the nutty and chaotic ones.  Thats because they are ALL perfect.  They are ALL a record of your family in this moment in time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/christinearnold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/LaQuinta_family_Photography_162.jpg\" alt=\"Image 1 (left side)\n\n\u201cFamily of five standing together in a rocky desert landscape in La Quinta, California.
