So much fun with Apryl and Alex–the most comprehensive engagement shoot yet, with three different venues.  We started at Saguaro National Park East

(9 mile loop drive) on day one.  The next morning we hit Trail Dust Town in the early morning followed by Mt Lemmon in the afternoon.  This was my first engagement shoot on Mt Lemmon … sooooo beautiful with so many breathtaking backdrops to choose from! I was delighted that there was water for them to walk in since that always makes for fun images.  The next day we ended the shoot outside of PF Changs, taking advantage of the uniq

13 in Longview, Texas.

However, Ashley insisted she did would not have anyone but me taking the …
