These two came to Amangiri to celebrate her birthday, every year for her birthday she celebrates in a new location and hires a photographer to do a photo shoot for her. Amangiri is the perfect place to celebrate something special!  The staff will make sure to do anything and everything to make it a special getaway!  Their motto is “No request is too great and no detail too small.”  I have seen that over and over every time I visit for photo shoots.

I was so excited when she showed me what they would be wearing, she had so many amazing outfits, her style was so beautiful!  She planned every little detail.  When she travels to new destinations for her shoots, she coordinates her outfits to the scenery so that everything goes together.  I am going to take this tip for when I travel!   Her outfits were perfect for the beautiful desert landscapes of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona.  Her first outfit is from Free People and her amazing boots are from Zimmermann.  Her stunning dress at the end is from Zimmermann with he Gucci’s.

We spent the first half of the shoot around the resort, there are so many stunning locations around, every corner there is something amazing.  To end the shoot we made the 25 minute drive and one mile hike to see the stunning view of Horseshoe Bend.  I love the views there at sunset, it is one of the most beautiful places.  Her dress was so perfect for the sunset views and red rocks.  I loved the movement in her dress, when choosing your outfits for photo shoots, think about how it moves, this can create some fun elements to work with while we photograph.

I think we all need to celebrate our birthdays this way!  Travel to somewhere new and have a photo shoot to celebrate a new year!  Where would you go for your birthday celebration?
