I met Derek and Allison almost two years ago now. When we met, it was just the two of them. They were getting ready to celebrate their fifth anniversary. Fast forward to 2017, they added a dog and a baby to the equation almost simultaneously, and now they’re getting ready to leave town so Derek
The drive from the Grand Canyon to Winslow is as desolate as it gets. Once we got through Flagstaff, the trees fell away and the desert stretched to the horizon, interrupted only periodically by random rock formations and jagged hills. We got to Meteor Crater in about 2 hours. The wind was howling over the
There’s nothing like a hike on Bright Angel Train to remind you how out of shape you’ve gotten. We started early in the morning on Tuesday, June 2, at about 7:30. We took the shuttle bus from Yavapai Lodge right to the trailhead. The shuttle at the canyon is really awesome. There are three lines

It was specifically for photographers, so they required each individual person have their own DSLR and tripod (neither of
Last week, my dad and I took a trip to Arizona to visit Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon, and Sedona. We flew in to Phoenix and then drove north, making a few pit stops along the way. Our first stop was at Chilleen’s on 17, a restaurant featured on Bar Rescue that my dad wanted

We took our annual week-long trip to Snowshoe, WV over New Years. There wasn’t any snow on the ground but the slope conditions were pretty good. We stayed somewhere new and had deer visitors every morning. The other people at the hotel would throw food from their balconies and tempting as it was to join
We got quite a bit of snow this winter – two storms with about 6 inches and several days of minor accumulations. The pups love their snow days, almost more than I do. During one of the storms, our fancy pine tree got overloaded and one of the branches snapped. Other than that we didn’t
In June, Mike’s cousin (my cousin-in-law?) got married. Their wedding was at a beautiful house in the North Carolina mountains. I was lucky enough to photograph the event. You may remember April and Brian – I took their engagement photos, too. You can view all of the photos here: Post by Aiken Heart Photography.
