Family, Couples & Headshot Photography in Fountain Hills, AZ
Family, Couples & Headshot Photography in Fountain Hills, AZ
Fountain Hills has one of the most recognizable backdrops in Arizona: a 64-acre park, a lake, and a fountain that can shoot up to 560 feet. Pick your look:
- The Fountain and the lake: Fountain Park
- Public art and downtown: the Avenue of the Fountains
- Desert and mountain views: Adero Canyon and the McDowell Sonoran Preserve trails
I’ve photographed custom sessions right in front of the Fountain. I photograph families, couples, seniors, and professionals in Fountain Hills. You don’t need to know how to pose. I’ll guide you and match your session to the right spot and the right light. More about me
Free mini sessions and Fountain Hills: my regular mini session parks are in other cities. The closest are Scottsdale Waterfront in Scottsdale and Papago Park on the Tempe and Phoenix border, and you can see the dates on the calendar below. Want the Fountain behind you? Book a custom session and we’ll shoot right here in Fountain Hills.
Custom Sessions at the Fountain
A custom session lets us pick the exact spot, the day, and the light, with more time and no rush. The Fountain runs for about 15 minutes at the top of each hour, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., so we can plan your photos around it. It doesn’t run in windy conditions, so I’ll help you plan around the weather. In summer we start early to beat the heat. Ask about a custom session.

FAQ
Do I need a permit to photograph in Fountain Hills?
It depends on the spot. Fountain Park is a Town of Fountain Hills park, and McDowell Mountain Regional Park is a Maricopa County park. Each can have its own fees or rules for paid sessions. If we book a custom session, I’ll help you check what is needed.
When is the best time of day for photos in Fountain Hills?
Sunrise and the golden hour before sunset both work well. The Fountain runs for about 15 minutes at the top of each hour between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., so we can time your photos around it. In summer we usually shoot early to stay comfortable.
What if it's windy?
The Fountain doesn’t run in windy conditions. If wind is in the forecast, we can plan a different look or pick a new time.
Which Fountain Hills location is right for my session?
The Fountain and the lake, Fountain Park. Public art and a walkable downtown, the Avenue of the Fountains. Desert and mountain views, Adero Canyon. Not sure? Send me a message and I’ll match the spot to your session.
What should we wear for our session?
Coordinated, not matchy. Soft, solid, mid-tone colors work well against the lake, the desert, and the art. Once we pick your location, I’m happy to give more specific guidance.
