Tempe families choose Olivia Grace Photography for newborn, maternity, family, and senior portraits. Near ASU, Mill Avenue, and Tempe Town Lake.

Tempe is one of those cities that manages to feel like a small college town and a growing urban hub at the same time. Between Arizona State University, the shops and restaurants along Mill Avenue, and the open water and trails around Tempe Town Lake, it’s a city full of families, students, and young couples building their lives here, and creating moments worth capturing along the way.

Since 2015, Olivia Grace Photography has been trusted by families across the Phoenix Valley, including Tempe, for newborn, maternity, cake smash, family, and senior portraits. Here’s why so many Tempe families choose to work with Olivia.

A Studio Close By, With the Flexibility to Come to You

Our studio is based in Ahwatukee, just a short drive from Tempe, and outdoor sessions anywhere in the Valley, Tempe included, are included at no extra travel cost within 45 miles. That means you’re never choosing between a professional studio experience and a session that reflects your own neighborhood.

Sessions That Fit the Way Tempe Lives

Tempe’s mix of urban charm and outdoor space gives families more ways to make a session feel personal:

  • Mill Avenue’s walkable, historic streets are a great fit for family or milestone sessions with a lifestyle, urban feel.
  • Tempe Town Lake offers waterfront views for family portraits or maternity sessions that want something more open and scenic.
  • Hayden Butte (“A” Mountain) is a quick option for families who want panoramic desert views without a long hike.

Whether you’re drawn to the energy of downtown Tempe or the quieter open space by the lake, sessions can be planned around the backdrop that feels most like you.

A College Town Full of Milestones

Tempe’s identity is closely tied to Arizona State University, and that means it’s a city full of milestones worth documenting, from graduation portraits for ASU seniors to young families just starting out near campus. Olivia Grace Photography offers senior and graduation photography as one of its dedicated session types, alongside newborn, maternity, and family photography, so wherever you are in life, there’s a session built around that stage.

What Makes the Experience Easy

  • Pet-friendly sessions your dog or cat is welcome to be part of the photos.
  • A client closet with premium wardrobe options for maternity, newborn, and baby/child sessions, at no extra cost.
  • Indoor or outdoor flexibility, whether that’s the studio in Ahwatukee or a location right in Tempe.
