I did it. I crossed something off my bucket list and man it feels so good.
Day 1
Woke up 2 AM EST. Boarded my first flight at 6 AM EST. Boarded my second flight 7:45 AM and United with Meghan! Landed in Utah 11 AM. Got our first meal of the day 12 PM. Went to Saltair 3:30 PM. Bed 8:30. Over 19 straight ours of being up and it was amazing. Eyeballs were drying up a bit but… worth it. ( ALL Photos of me PC goes to Meghan Baskin).
2:20 AM SELFIE YAY IN MY DIRTY DORM MIRROR 
Day 2
Waking up in Utah at 5 AM isn’t my favorite thank you jet lag! Started the day with a delicious breakfast and got ready to spend the day in Antelope Islands! So thankful for Hannah and Adam for being our models today. I mean just wait til the blog comes up, I CAN’T get over how lucky we got with sunshine, temperature, and weather Don’t worry there’s a little sneak peek for ya in there.
ALSO hope you enjoy these images of half my face throughout the whole trip! xoxo

Day 3
This day was for us. We drove almost three hours round trip to get to the Bonneville Salt flats in Utah. I almost threw up when it said the speed limit was 80 mph…. My lil inner lighting McQueen came out on that drive. We got there and had a view like this, I swear time stopped a little. The view was just surreal and breathtaking.
There we met a nice lady who also was photographing the salt flats and told us that they’re actually shrinking. I wanted to cry. So if you take anything away from this post is PLEASE PROTECT OUR PLANET, NO AMOUNT OF MONEY IS WORTH LOOSING OUR BEAUTIFUL LAND OVER.

Day 4
Last full day…. I’m hashtag SOFREAKINGBLESSED. Let me tell ya something, we had a couple set in stone for day 4 and they last minute could no longer model for us. SOOO our morning was spent PANICKING because at that point we were unsure if we had a couple for our location. BUT then the lord had greater plans for us and along came Maddy and Tom. These two were such a blessing willing and able to meet us last minute. I wouldn’t have had it any other way because…. I mean….. look at them!
We shot Maddy and Tom’s session at Tibble Fork Revisor, Utah (which is jaw dropping and you literally drive between the mountains). It was a shock when we came across a winter wonderland here, whereas there wasn’t that much snow anywhere else surrounding the area. AIN’T EVEN MAD THO, it was such a great time there.
Little sneaky’s before their blog post next week!!
The Goodbye
One last time. I am so thankful to be living a life like this, and capturing it all. I am still speechless, so I hope my images share what this trip was like.
Meg,
Thank you for being someone who was willing to impulsively book this trip and make it so much fun.
