Where to begin? I've known Anna since she was 1 years old, crazy uh?! Her family moved to Iowa from Colorado when I was in the 5th grade, and her oldest sister Tricia and I instantly became best friends! Anna is like my little sister and the best muse I could have. She is always up for all my crazy photo ideas and inspiration and I can always ask her to be ready in an hour to go scope out a new location with me or be my model. :) Anna really is one of the greatest people I could have in my life and if you know her, you would say the same!
Anna was approaching her senior year of High School and I wanted to go somewhere amazing and gorgeous (many places here in CO for that) for her senior photos! I told Anna and her mom about the idea of going to the Sand Dunes for her photos and they were both on board! I started getting inspiration and coming up with ideas on how to make this amazing for Anna. We drove down on a Friday night after work to Salida and got to our hotel room late, but knowing what that Saturday was going to bring I didn't care what time we arrived! :) Saturday morning came and Anna started getting ready with hair and makeup, while I started picking out her outfits to wear.
Once Anna was done getting ready we were on our way to the Sand Dunes!!!!!!! Now by this time I was like a kid on Christmas morning I could hardly wait to get there! When we pulled up, I just KNEW that this was going to be worth the trip and the photos were going to be GORGEOUS!
