Goblin Valley

I love photographs with vivid colors and surprising landscapes. My husband and I took a winter camping trip to Goblin Valley and despite the camping being a bust (too cold + sick baby = sleeping in the car and being up half of the night) the scenery of the park was amazing! It was P's first winter camping trip so it was fun to just follow her around and try to capture Goblin Valley from her perspective.

Pockets of Light

One of my favorite things about photography is the different ways that the use of light can impact a photograph. I love the way that this pocket of harsh light adds drama to this photo. This totally wasn't what I had in mind when we set out to take these pictures, we were actually trying to take pictures of the fall leaves, similar to the session from last year in the same location. Although P, now a toddler had different ideas about what she wanted to do, I was still able to capture some of the feeling of this cold November day.
