Summer Family Photos at Granada Park in Phoenix, Arizona
If you’re looking for the perfect spot in Phoenix for outdoor family photos, Granada Park is one of my favorite desert-inspired locations. With its sweeping desert landscaping, mountain backdrops, golden grasses, palm trees, and serene lake views, Granada Park offers a beautiful blend of natural scenery without having to drive far from central Phoenix. As a family photographer in Phoenix, I love photographing here because the park provides soft evening light and a variety of textures that elevate every gallery—whether you want relaxed candid moments or traditional posed portraits.
Summer is actually one of the best times to schedule your Phoenix family photos, especially if you want your images ready for fall printing, holiday cards, and seasonal gifts. Many families wait until October or November, but by then, every family photographer near me in the Phoenix area is fully booked. Planning ahead with a summer sunset session ensures you receive your edited gallery long before the busy season—and long before your inbox starts filling with holiday deadlines.
Melissa texted me a few weeks after this session in September and already had her holiday photos printed and delivered ready for the chaos of holiday season.

Even in the warmer months, summer sessions are surprisingly comfortable. Phoenix locals know that the heat drops quickly in the evening, and Granada Park often gets a soft breeze around sunset. As long as you bring water and dress in breathable fabrics, it's absolutely cool enough to enjoy a golden-hour session. The sunsets in June, July, and August are also some of the most colorful of the entire year—peachy skies, dramatic clouds, and that perfect glowing light that every Phoenix family photographer dreams of.
