Super pumped to line up this session with the light master @vinsonimages_jason Been a fan of his work for a long time now and after attending one of his workshops found him to also be a dang cool guy! Knew the city setting of San Antonio and the Riverwalk would be right up Jason’s alley for our shoot and he did not disappoint! Now @maria_drechsel and I just have to pick our favorites! So many! Check out a few! Always document your life. It’s worth it every time! @visitsanantonio @sanantonioriverwalk
@bigbendnps was our last National Parks for the birthday trip and man, what an incredible spot! Can you believe this is Texas?!? It’s cool to stand in the Rio Grande River and look up the cliffs that make up the border of Mexico. We almost didn’t see this one but I’m very glad we made it happen! Staying at the @gageresort was a treat! @maria_drechsel @tjdrechselphotography @texas.explores
For my birthday trip the next two National Parks we saw were @guadalupemountainsnps and @carlsbadcavernsnps . These two are easily located to explore in one day. Avery’s favorite stop was the Caverns. Truly an amazing walk to take in! The main Big Room cave is almost 4,000 feet long! Just breathtaking! Check out a few memories of our time! @maria_drechsel @tjdrechselphotography
