We shot in early March, when the desert begins to warm after a long winter, managing to stay outside for a solid hour without heavy jackets. Although, I admit, by the end, we were all ready to run inside and cozy up next to the fire. Still, the weather proved to be in our favor. Clear spring skies and temperatures well above freezing allowed us to work past sunset.
Out here, we have wilderness that seems to stretch on forever—a seemingly endless expanse of open space. Location scouting can be overwhelming but I looked out my front door. Right across the street is an open desert of rabbitbrush, views of the mesa and 360 degrees of mountains.
