Location
This photo was taken in West Texas. We drove about ten hours (we are from Houston) to get to the location and it was totally worth it. It was absolutely gorgeous there.Time
Early morning light is my all time favorite. You just can’t beat it. So of course this is early morning just as the sun was coming up over the dunes. It was gorgeous the way it hit the gold sequins of her dress.Lighting
We used the natural light for the shot. The sun had just come up so I positioned Brenna (my lovely model) so that was beautifully lit from the side as it roseEquipment
D800 with 85mm 1.4 which pretty much my go-to. All natural light, no modifiers.Inspiration
I bought a Texas State Parks pass and we got a brochure with all the parks and their descriptions and we saw this place and knew we had to go for a photoshoot there. I couldn’t believe some of the amazing locations here in Texas!Editing
I edit in photoshop and with alien skin exposure which I don’t think I could live without because it’s become so integrated into my workflow!In my camera bag
