Part 3 of Ella’s senior picture session down at Nelson’s Landing. It was a packed day with weddings being shot nearby. We didn’t know if we would get lucky to shoot in the famous pretty cactus spot, as it is near the old chapel. The owner was so kind to tell me that after 4pm, we would have a small time slot of no weddings, and could shoot there. Joy! The cactus area to me is always deadly but beautiful. Such gorgeous portraits can happen by those desert plants. We got some winners. I always shoot with much caution, and find a path first for my client to walk in not too close to the prickly stinkers.
