This glorious evening session at White Sands New Mexico National Monument seriously make me so happy every time I look at them. As if I wasn’t excited enough to capture my sweet new friends Dezorey and Chris, the fact that they told me that they wanted to do their engagement photos at THE White Sands was seriously the icing on the cake.
Dezorey and Chris are an adventurous couple who love spending time in the great outdoors. They had ventured to White Sands earlier in their relationship, and they felt a special connection to the park. For this reason they really wanted to include its beauty in their engagement session, as they felt like such a place would be perfect to capture them in their natural element.
We found a fun hotel near the park and rode together to the session. Once there, we immediately hit the dunes and began to explore. Having ben to the park a few times myself, I led them to some of my favorite spots in the park where I knew we’d be far away from others, so we could feel as though we had the entire park to ourselves. Dezorey and Chris are a naturally spunky couple and their session was filled with smiles, belly laughs, and plenty of frolicking about. Their faith in the Lord is extremely important to them, and they made sure to highlight this with a special leather-bound Bible.
White Sands incredible because of the sheer amount of SPACE you have to create with! It’s a photographer’s playground for this very reason. You can venture up, down, and around the dunes , completely surrounded by sand as far as the eye can see. It’s also incredible to see the way the light changes during various times of the day. We began our session in the late afternoon, and kept shooting until sunset. It was PERFECT> I highly recommend White Sands if you’re considering a desert adventure!
