So our trip began in Tucson for the national park, and then we drove up to Phoenix and Scottsdale for the baseball portion of the tour….
I got to visit Dallas for the first time when I went to photograph Aileen and Jason’s family in the northern suburbs of the city.

I stood on the side of the road, the mist rolling gently through the mountains before me. Calmness. Gratitude. I had never been so glad to see a rainy day. Normally people are disappointed when rain pervades their Yosemite trip. You might normally hope for sunny skies or a classic golden hour and a beautiful sunset. But I’ve seen…

One weekend in July, four of us (Colman, Amaris, Justin, and I) hopped in the car from Philly for a quick weekend getaway to Annapolis.

All in all, a great little one-night…
