.:Visit from the Family:.

Last weekend my family from Texas came out to visit my sister and I. We went up to Sedona and stayed at the Los Abrigados Resort. It was a beautiful and relaxing weekend. We did a little hiking, took a helicopter ride over Sedona, and went up to the Grand Canyon for a day. They had never been to Arizona before, and were spoiled by the beauty of the red rock country. My parents loved it so much that they bought a time share in Sedona, which I’m looking forward to using for some weekend getaways. It was good to be able to spend time with the fam, especially this weekend.

The hike soon turned into a family portrait session…

First helicopter ride! Absolutely breathtaking views over Sedona. Special thanks to Don, with Arizona Helicopter Adventures, for a great time.

It was really challenging to get some quality photos while in the cockpit. I had to fight the glare and haze from the windshield.

Leaving the Canyon we saw a couple of elk on the side of the rode. I was surprised to be able to get this close. Shot this with my 24-70 lens.
