Arizona

24Jan09

I came to Arizona on Jan. 10th, to attend a convention for wedding photographers at the Carefree Resort and Villas in Carefree, Arizona (which features intersections like “Ho Hum and Easy Street).

I am super excited about applying what I learned at the convention with all my 2009 couples!  

Here is a lit-up saguaro cactus at the entrance of the resort.

These are the villas.  It seems like all the architecture in Arizona looks like this-adobe structures that match the earth.

We went to a town called Cave Creek, which is very old western style.  Here’s my husband and our “Lil’ Buckaroo.”

This was at the resort.  I wanted to experiment with light and shadows.

Something I didn’t expect to see in the desert.

    Hey Danielle,

    Did you use the Bebbs’ categories of flare, lines, unexpected, etc. to as inspirations for your image choices for the blog post?

    I love that reflection picture with Vu and Julia. It gives me a bit of vertigo which is something that I rarely experience when looking at a picture.

    Thanks to you and Vu for being our hot models!

    Michael

      Hi Michael,
      I think in a way I did!! Since we were modeling for the session I couldn’t do the exercise, but I wanted to so badly so I guess when I took these pictures I was keeping their categories in mind :-)
      We can’t wait to see the photos from the session!
