A Phoenix Family has some memorable Family Photos to remember their Holidays 2012 by family portrait photographer Jon Simpson.
I was thrilled to get a call from the Lillards. All the kids were in Phoenix, Arizona for the holidays and their mom wanted to get some great shots of them while they were all together. As a photographer, I appreciate this special assignment and couldn’t wait to work with them. They were such a fun group to photograph, and as you can see by the below top pick and by the video… I decided to have some fun with their beloved bunny at the request of the boys of the family. 🙂
