Portraits // AACF Graduates 2014

Every year as the spring semester draws to a close, I get invited to photograph a group grad session for a club I've been a part of. This graduates have become some of my closest friends and it's always been fun hanging out with them and seeing their interactions during the photo session.

This was my last time taking photos for the club's graduates. Next year I'll get to be in them! Thanks for all the memories during the photoshoots friends! They were all incredibly fun for me and I'm glad to have been part of something that is now a tradition that people look forward to!

Bryce Canyon National Park

Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMugBryce Canyon National Park is like no other place I've ever seen. For one, the striking color of the sandstone cliffs is amazing. However, the sight that is most spectacular is the shape of the rock formations. The erosion of the canyon has turned the land into an alien like landscape.





Sprires and narrow crevices throughout our short hike down into the canyon line the path.



How can you not look up and be in awe?





One of my favorite parts about Bryce is the fact that the edge of the canyon is easily accessible by anyone. The hikes down into the canyon only provide a more intimate experience.


Zion National Park // Kolob Canyons

Kolob Canyons is the northern section of Zion National Park. The park offers similar red sandstone mountains and cliffs, but in a much more intimate setting.


The hike we chose in Kolob was a 14 mile all day hike to Kolob arch (below). The trail took us through 1000 feet of elevation change and took about 8 hours to complete.

The scenic drive around the park offers some great views, especially during the sunset hours.
