Golden hour in the desert

We’re onto the last post from our time in the desert! Well… in a very desert-y neighborhood in Scottsdale, Arizona. 😉 This was the last night of our trip! We had spent the whole day grilling out at the pool with family, so when we got back to our Airbnb, Eric and I went for a walk to take advantage of some golden hour light. We mostly shot our photos from Arizona in direct light (which is so tough) but we just didn’t have a lot of down time to make golden hour work everyday, so I’m glad I at least got one set of photos from that magical time!

Scottsdale neighborhood

Even though it officially feels like autumn here in Michigan, I’m still loving on the desert for a couple more days while I wrap up my posts from our trip to Phoenix! We stayed in Scottsdale, in a super cool neighborhood. Our Airbnb was amazing and modern, and I loved being able to relax on this trip with our family! This trip was a little different than our normal trips where we go, go, go to see everything we can… and it was fun for a change to sit back, relax, and drink wine by the pool! On this day, Eric and I decided to venture out to do a little shopping, so we snapped some photos on the street of the neighborhood we stayed in before our Uber picked us up!

Hole in the Rock

We’re onto some posts from… the desert! If you didn’t know, Eric and I took a long weekend trip with my family to Arizona. It was my first time visiting the area (except for a small work trip once), so I was really excited! It was a fun weekend, with a good mix of relaxing and heading out to explore. Eric and I were able to meet up with my good friend, Chelsea of Chelsea Bird, and her husband, Scott, and they showed us around Phoenix for a little bit! I was so happy to get the chance to hang out with them, and to explore the desert! It was my first time seeing cactus (growing out of the ground 😂) and that was one of my favorite things! I loved the vibes and landscape of Arizona. So much different than Michigan — nature and weather-wise — and I loved the opportunity to experience something totally new!
