Noonan-Williams Family ~ Palm Desert Family Photographer

March 15, 2012

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!

ABOUT Ann

My path here wasn't exactly straight, and I think that's what makes it worth telling.

I wasn't supposed to be a photographer. I was supposed to become a doctor. Neurobiology premed, on track, until my oldest son was diagnosed with epilepsy and life took a hard U-turn. I took a break and enrolled in photography classes I had always wanted to take but never could as a premed. On day two I knew. This was where I was supposed to be. Funny thing is, that analytical, detail-oriented part of me never left. It just shows up differently now, in the way I plan every session, read the light, and pay attention to the moments most people miss. I finished my degree in a year and a half, started my business the following October, and sixteen years later I still believe this is the gift God gave me to give to others. And I don't take that lightly.
