You ever meet two of the sweetest people ever who were down to explore a completely unknown area with you?  No?  Well I did.  I knew Jess before her and her man candy moved out west but I am so happy to have the chance to see here for our short time out that way.  Todd and herself woke up BEFORE the sun to meet Tony, Andie and myself at the entrance of Valley of Fire state park.

We had no set plan for where to shoot, only that we would drive around and likely stop or pull off when we saw the best light.  Luckily,  out west, all light is good light so it wasn’t that difficult to find a spot.  These two made it entirely too easy for the three of us and made it hard for us to want to stop shooting.   We couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off our road trip out to the Grand Canyon.

 You guys are adorbsssss!

That soft desert light! LOVE

So many muted tones.  I was eating it up!

 That desert GLOW! Gimme all the light!

 I need to stop straying away from direct light.  It can be just as soft as the shade!

 You guys, I can’t thank you enough for exploring with us! For inviting us into your home, for letting us play with your dogs and for letting us capture the adorableness that oozes from you both! Y’all the best!
