Purple-Themed Photoshoot at Horseshoe Bend, Arizona


Ending the Day at an Iconic Location
We saved a classic for last: Horseshoe Bend. After four location shoots in one day, only a few of us had the energy left to make the hike down to the cliff's edge — but it was 100% worth it. A storm was blowing in, the light was shifting, and the crowd of tourists was intense. But the shots we got? Chef’s kiss.

The Final Shoot: Purple Tones & Unexpected Guests
We leaned into purple-toned styling for this one, letting the soft lilacs and deep violets contrast the fiery red cliffs. One model wore a flowing lavender cape that whipped dramatically in the wind — honestly, we didn’t even need a fan.

At one point, a foreign tourist joined the shoot with his own camera. Another tourist struck up a conversation with one of our models and left with a sweet souvenir: a butterfly ornament gifted from her costume. It was the most wholesome end to a long (and slightly chaotic) day of creating.
