Draper Family, Little Sahara

Shooting here still feels like I'm on another planet sometimes. It's incredibly majestic and so far spread! It seems impossible to discover all of it. I try to go to different spots every time I shoot here so I can see more of it. This time was awesome and we found some super rad trees. Also, can we talk about how picture perfect the Draper family is? I wanted to post literally every image from this session. I loved the pops of orange to contrast with the neutral sand and green trees. One of the perks of shooting here is it is so carefree. It's less about pose-y images and more about let's-go-adventuring images. I think we got a good mix of both -- check them out!

Carter Family, Little Sahara

Little Sahara has always been magical to me. Once you get there, it's like you are in a completely different world. The rolling hills of sand and the sun glimmering through the trees and cotton candy pink sunsets...breathtaking. I am so glad I got to help create these pretty images for the Carter family (I should do a blog post of their session last year, too! One of my favorites).

Hutchings Family, Little Sahara

I LOVE this family!! I have photographed them every year since I had begun my photography business and I am always so excited to do them! I feel like our visions always combine and in turn creates beautiful photos every time. This time, though, was my very favorite. I was feeling adventurous and wanted to shoot at the sand dunes and they happily obliged. All I wanted was stormy skies to give us beautiful contrast against the light dunes and mother natured delivered that and more! We got chased out at the very end by a HUGE windstorm - we're talking like we couldn't even see where we were going kind of windstorm - but we were super blessed the entire session with impending storm clouds and stunning deep blue skies. Their outfits matched the sky perfectly. I couldn't believe it. An artistic fire ignited in me during this shoot and magic happened. Enjoy my millions of favorites... :)
