*{A Barn...in the Desert}* Fort Irwin CA Family Photographer

Yes, you read that right...there is a barn, in the desert. Crazy, right?! For all of you that have the *privilege* of being stationed here at lovely Fort Irwin with me, you know a barn in this desert is sort of considered out of place! But I was so excited when this family said they wanted some pictures out at the stables on post.

My favorite things about this session:
* The barn discovery...and it's a COOL barn!
* The gorgeous yellow flowers in the desert...um, that means COLOR in the desert folks...that is huge!
* The ladybugs that flew all around us...it just makes life that much sweeter.
* Did I mention the barn?!
* The fact that Mr. N brought his toy sword...how cool are his parents for letting him play with his sword in family pictures?!
* The fact that little Miss S got to hold her ladybug doll through 75% of the pictures...while ladybugs were all around us on bushes!
* And we even got to feed the billie-goats!

Thank you for the fun time! I'm so honored that I had an opportunity to photograph your precious family and create art for you all to commemorate your time here at Fort Irwin!

Be Extraordinary,
