YAY… another round of behind the scenes. I’ve been itchin’ to blog these and with our fall season winding down I was able to find some time. As you can see we were still wearing summertime clothing in October. Don’t hate. Actually it was pretty warm and we were sweatin’ balls. But Elizabeth + Myles were troopers in their layers. Thanks guys for roughing it out with us. Thankfully we found some really inspiring spots that seemed to take our mind off the heat. Ok maybe not since we made them climb all over the place. Totally worth it though because these are some of our favorite bridge/underpass shots. And I can’t forget to mention the abandoned metal building that was full of hidden gems. Love it when you could photograph in one area for hours upon hours and still have endless ideas. One of our many goals for 2012 is to challenge ourselves to shoot in one spot/building or wall for an entire portrait session. Anyone else done this?

We found Eric’s camera bag at a 2nd hand vintage store & our friend Erin customized the interior to hold a camera body + lens + gadgets.

We love photographing in a parking garage because we can escape the Tucson heat.  Plus there’s always great hard light coming in at all angles.

Palm trees in the desert?… yes it’s a bizarre concept.

Making airplane sounds to get Cora’s attention.  One of my many talents!
