…if I forget about those things for a moment and think only about what I experienced personally… it was a great year. My best business year to date, my best adventure year (10 national parks! among other adventures!), a year of seeing friends and family again and making new friends, and a year of discovering this new place that I live in and love.
Read MoreMarissa and Stephen! Two adorable humans from the Bay Area who came down to the Grand Canyon for a quick winter vacation. I’m afraid they thought it might be warmer at the Grand Canyon, but thankfully I was able to warn them before their trip that it would NOT be very warm at all. Doesn’t matter, though!! We still had a lot of fun frolicking around the South Rim and enjoyed a pretty stunning sunset.
Read MoreDavis and Akta are from my beloved, the greatest city in the world, Chicago. They came out to Tucson for a quick New Year’s getaway. (They actually stayed at the same hotel as Tony & Laura - apparently the Ritz is well worth staying at!!) Davis planned to propose on January 2 and he wanted to do so in a beautiful, desert-y, as-secluded-as-possible spot. I was, of course, totally on board. :D
Read MoreBack at it at the Big Hole! Otherwise known as… the Grand Canyon. :) I loved this one because, being at the end of December, it was my first time seeing the Grand Canyon covered in snow! It was obviously gorgeous before, but this added a whole new element. Thank goodness for Rachael and Joe’s New Year’s trip and Joe being a romantic and proposing near the holiday! :D
Read MoreTony and Laura came out to Tucson from Indiana for a little winter getaway in mid-December. (Being from Chicago, I cannot blame them for wanting to escape that weather for our gorgeous Arizona winters!) Tony reached out to me about having his proposal to Laura photographed and I was obviously so down!
Read More2020 is OVER. Simultaneously the longest and shortest year of my entire life, and I suspect many of yours as well. A year with some looooooow lows but also some incredible highs. A year of incredible strength and growth. Even just getting to the end of the year alive deserves a round of applause. Well done, friends. We freakin’ did it.
Read MoreAs a person from the Midwest, I can’t get enough of the Grand Canyon. Some folks who come from more scenic areas may find it boring and touristy, but not me. I can’t blame the tourists, because even though I live in AZ now, I am one. I’ll happily brave the crowds to get a glimpse of this wonder.
Read MoreI love proposals so much. I’ve done a handful of them now and they are always perfect. It’s so much fun to make a sneaky plan with one partner and carry it out and watch the other partner be completely shocked and elated. And of course, I was BEYOND stoked to do this at the Grand Canyon of all places!! I am so thankful that Nate brought me back to this magical place to capture his proposal to Brittany.
