it is days like these when i remember some things:
1. i love flagstaff
2. i love photographing
3. i love knowing the people i know
regarding #3 on that list... i know these two models. hillary and alissa. my new flagstaff friends. can i just tell you that these girls know how to WORK IT in front of the camera?! we spent most of the day roaming around campus and walking downtown taking fun photos that captured the beautiful girls AND the beautiful town. i tell you friends, we live in the sweetest place.
the girls started out the day in lovely white dresses:
could this spot have been any more naturally and perfectly lit? (the answer is no.)
later in the day... we took it up a notch:
told ya...
!!!
we got to the tracks just before the train came...
...and then i had the girls dance next to it while it passed!
such a wonderful day!
so now back up to that list all the way at the beginning of this post... now you see just a small reason why flagstaff is so special, why i love taking pictures, and why i love these girls. they OWNED this shoot. i had a blast hangin with my two great friends :) of course we had to get a shot together...
i hope everyone else had as perfect of a day as i did!
(oh! and if you are reading this, and NOT leaving a comment... two words: not cool.)
