I have to admit when I got this inquiry for family portraits I was a bit giddy.  From the time I moved here to Palm Desert a year and a half ago I wanted to photograph at the JW Marriott Desert Springs.  It is an amazing location with so many natural backdrops.  It took everything in my power not to jump up and down and squeal like a preteen school girl when we discussed the location.  🙂

This was such a fun session and the best way to start out 2012.  Little Jack was hilarious!  Between flirting with my assistant, Emily, finding his hand, taking a little snooze and giving his mommy a huge smooch, we had a blast.  We played on the bed in the hotel room, then went outside for some fresh air and photos with grandma and grandpa.  This session was eventful and absolutely perfect.

Ok…so let’s get on to the portraits.

Enjoy!
