Photo Session Blog

I love Utah. I love Colorado too, of course, but when I go to the Moab area, I start to wonder things like: How was our earth created? Who created it? How old is it? How do these big rock formations even exist? To me, the Moab area is a direct link to some unknown […]

Today’s photos are from an engagement session that I did in Littleton, Colorado.

After the raft trip I took in Utah last month, my husband and I headed to Moab to check out their Pasta Jay’s restaurant (no wait!) and Arches National Park.

This time I did the 7 mile Devils Garden Primitive Loop hike, spending hours in the fresh desert air while thinking about Edward Abbey’s book Desert Solitaire and contemplating how on earth the rock formations were formed. Utah is a strange place.
