Sweet, sweet summertime in Flagstaff. It’s my absolute favorite time of year. Now, I know that I say that about every season in Flagstaff, but that is because I love the season I’m in.
To celebrate my favorite time of year, I am scheduling mini-summer sessions. While I am having a hard time narrowing down the spot (because there are so many great ones to choose from), I can guarantee you the backdrop will be stunning in a way only Flagstaff can deliver.
Each session includes:
Three summer mini-photo session packages are available to choose from:
Prints start at $75 and are all mounted on matboard and printed on matte archival paper.
Mini-sessions are my most popular offering and they always sell out. Call 928-774-0220 or email me at melissa@arizona-elopement.com to secure your spot today. Please note, a $49 payment is required to book the session and will be applied to any package. Your payment is refunded if canceled 72 hours prior to your session.
There are many more than three reasons why I love Flagstaff in the summer. In fact, I could probably talk about this topic all day long.
Many people look to the fall to showcase the vibrant colors of the city. But personally, I love photographing in summer. Summer represents a slowing down and a little more play. And there is no escaping that everything is alive. The gardens are growing, the grass is greener, and the flowers are plentiful.
Here are just a few reasons I love Flagstaff summers.
Everything happens outside in Flagstaff during the summer. Hiking or biking in a Ponderosa pine forest surrounded by the beautiful Aspens is breathtaking. There is beauty all around and I have no trouble getting lost in a lovely daydream. I regularly take my dogs into the forest for their morning walks and the smell of pine and the warmth of the sun never fail to start my day on a positive note.
Flagstaff’s historic downtown is something very special. During the summer there are Movies on the Square, Musical Acts and local events showcasing local talent. It’s always full of activity and laughter. While some might think it can get a bit crowded, I love to see locals and visitors hanging out downtown. I firmly believe it is summertime that keeps the city alive.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats the smell of this wonderful mountain town following a monsoon shower. People in Flagstaff don’t shy away from the monsoon rain, they revel in it – myself included. I appreciate the need to feed the forest, the beautiful flowers and to help keep fire danger low. But there is something a bit magical about a gentle rain falling and slowing down the whole town.
I hope you’ll join me so we can pay tribute to summer together. Maybe the reasons why you love summer are different than mine, but the photos from our session together will always serve as a tribute to the season the keeps Flagstaff thriving.
Once again … here are those details.
