It's incredible how time flys. I can't believe I photographed this couples wedding 15 years ago and now I have the priviledge to photograph Kyles graduation photos! We spent the day at The Farm at South Mountain a place with so many memories for them. This is the same place we took engagement photos so many years ago. What a privilege I have had to be a part of their lives for so long! Congrats Kyle!

It's always so nice to see three or more generations of families together. I love getting to capture these moments for others. We took these family photos at a park in West Phoenix Arizona. I hope you guys love them!

It was such a privilege to photograph this dear sweet girl. She was an amazing client and so easy to work with. We did these photographs in the Verrado area of Arizona. It's always nice to see so much green.

I did these portraits in between my two trips to California. We did this family session as a surprise for their parents 40th wedding anniversary. We took them to a local spot, the Tierra Verde Lake Park in Litchfield Park, AZ This family was such a joy to shoot. They had a lot of fun with us. The children were easy to work with, especially since one of the dads would sing the theme song to Batman which in turn made the kids. It worked like magic everytime.

It's so much fun to get to watch these guys grow up and know that I've gotten to photograph so many of these precious moments.  These were done at their home in California.

I just loved shooting these photos at Huntington Beach in Huntington Beach, California. This family was so much fun. There were so many photos that I could hardly choose which ones to post. When I showed them to Gloria, she was so happy that she cried. I'm so glad I was able to do these for them.

Here is the photoshoot taken at my private studio in Goodyear, AZ. It only took about a half an hour. He was such a good little boy.

Please enjoy the following portraits. They came out so lovely.

Here is the slideshow for the Alvord Family.

In what hopes to be the first of many. We are introducing Photography By Clerissa slideshow in MP4's for Ipods and Iphones.

These photos were shot out in Gilbert, AZ at their residence. 11 children and 10 adults. It's so great to do generation photos as it gives everyone a chance to reconnect and capture memories forever. This is just their immediate family with no extras. It was really fun to undertake and I'm glad they let me.

This family was such a joy to shoot. They wanted to do some portraits that were like no one elses. Since they regularly go up to Canyon Lake they thought it would be awesome to boat into the lake and photograph. They were right! These portraits are unique and original and I can't wait to see this family again.

These were part five in my photos in the park series taken at Tierra Verde Lake Park in Litchfield, Arizona. This was the largest group we shot that day. We had children, pets, and multiple families. I think the photos turned out great, in particular some of these of the youngest little boy, who has so much personality. Amazingly enough, he is just a little older than his niece!

The photos were taken at Tierra Verde Lake Park in Litchfield Park, Arizona. This was an extremely fun group of people. They were a delight to take photos of. The shoot was a breeze and you can just see the fun on their faces. The following rave review was sent to me today.

"Who knew family photos could actually be, dare I say...fun?? Since my early days, I've been an avid tree-climber but I never imagined it would be captured on film w/ my family joining me! I felt like the Swiss Family Robinson. That was just one of the enjoyable moments we laughed about during our shoot. One thing that also tickled us was the repore you and your husband/assistant/flashmaster, Steven, had with both each other and our family. I think the relationship between photographer and client is the most important thing. We were constantly entertained and the laughter & smiles came quite naturally. You & Steven created positive energy, putting us at ease and making us feel comfortable. You were also able to work with my serial blinker sister and actually capture some great shots of all us with our eyes open! And the pictures? Completely AMAZING! The results were presented incredibly professionally and the pictures were outstanding (how awesome is that metallic finish?!!) We had such a blast viewing them on the DVD and selecting our favorite poses. Our family is the epitome of satisfied customers and will gladly be promoting your work to any & all who are interested. Thank you again for creating tangible memories for us!"

This is shoot three in a series of family photos taken at Tierra Verde Lake Park in Litchfield Park, AZ. This was a mini session shot with a larger section of the Ayala family. I wanted to show the closeness of this sweet little family through portraits. The proofs are so heart felt and connected. I just love them!

This is the second in a series of photos taken at Tierra Verde Lake Park in Litchfield Park, Arizona. These were family photos. There little boy did a fantastic job of posing and smiling. He doesn't move a muscle. Great shots of the whole family. I hope they love them.

This shoot is the first in a series of 6 that we shot in at Tierra Verde Lake Park in Litchfield, Arizona. This is an engagement session for a darling couple Kendra and Raul who will be leaving soon to start their life in Canada. They came to me through a referral and I had the opportunity to shoot these for them. Simple, elegant and sweet!

This family photo shoot was taken in the heart of Rio Verde, Arizone. Shot in multiple locations this family couldn't have been more easy to photograph. We spent two hours on location and just look at the results!

After submitting this entry the Richards family this small testimonial. "Our family photos turned out awesome and the photo shoot was a fun family day. You did an absolutely wonderful job with the kids. You are a very impressive and talented artist. "
