I Think I Want A Desert Session | Saudi Arabia Family Photographer

You’ve decided it’s time. Time to take family photos. The kids are growing by the minute, and you desperately want to document life as it is right now. A desert session sounds intriguing …..

“I think I want a desert session …..” are words I hear frequently. I think that’s great!! We live in Saudi Arabia, why not take advantage of these gorgeous rolling dunes? Where else in the world are you going to have this vast, open backdrop?

What do I Need to Know?

1. The desert is unpredictable! No two sessions are ever alike. It’s crazy, but you never know what to expect! The clouds, sun, wind and sand create a unique experience every time you go.

Sometimes it’s bright and sunny, other times it’s overcast and moody. Dramatic wind could whip through your hair, or it could be perfectly calm. But it’s always amazing.

2. The desert is a giant playground! There’s endless room to run, play, roll, fly kites, sled …. or play hockey! Be creative! Bring whatever represents your family and what you love to do together! Sessions should be fun!

3. Sand will get everywhere. Just go with it! It may end up in your shoes, your clothes, your bags. It’s ok. Brush it off, kick off your shoes, and enjoy yourself! Climb, dance, twirl, hug and let loose!

Should you choose a desert session? If you want a fun, active, unique experience that your kids will always remember - then the answer is yes!

See you at the dunes!!
