"Just a Couple of Sunshine Hippies"

One of the many things I love about my work, is that it lets me go to gorgeous locations, and meet really incredible people..

People like Nick and Nicole. Possibly two of the coolest people I know. They own two dogs, love hiking, snowboarding, anything outside really… so I was pretty dang excited when I got a message from them. I knew we were kindred spirits!

Even though, we are both currently located in SLC, we planned an elaborate photoshoot throughout locations in Moab ending in Arches National Park.

This photoshoot was a dream. Every location just as breathtaking as the next.

I feel so grateful that there are people out there with visions of grand backdrops, and adventurous spirits, and that they bring me along for the ride.

My favorite photo from this day, was literally the last photo we took. (It’s the last photo in the gallery.)

Just before it took place- We knew the sun was setting and we were about 20 minutes away from this arch. Once we got there, we sprinted/hiked up to it. Nick in his gold dress shoes, Nicole in her full on wedding dress and un-tied hiking boots, and me lugging all my equipment. We definitely got some looks... joined by a small crowd watching this particular scene unfold. It was absolutely breathtaking... literally. We were all out of breath, and completely awestruck.

Days like this, locations like this, and people like this, are a few of my many reasons why.
