Joshua Tree In-Home Couples Photography | Anastasia and Gordon

One of the things I loved most about living in the desert was being near Joshua Tree. The National Park speaks for itself, ranking in the top ten across the nation. But, there’s also the surrounding town of Joshua Tree that attracts visitors. I’d argue it has its own charming and unique personality. Vintage shops, local eateries, and quirky attractions line the streets. Art can be found on nearly every corner, providing contrast to the natural beauty of its barren surroundings. If you’ve never visited Joshua Tree, it’s magical.

When Anastasia and Gordon, a couple traveling from out of state, contacted me to capture their romantic getaway to Joshua Tree, I was happy to be their chosen photographer. We had the best time together! I am so excited to share some of this dreamy in-home session with you all!

Their couples session took place at a charming little Airbnb tucked away in the heart of the southern California desert. The property simply screamed Joshua Tree vibes, and provided the perfect backdrop for an intimate session. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed and allowed their love to unfold naturally. Gordon and Anastasia have something that is rare; a genuine soul connection. With every shutter, I aimed to capture that tenderness.

It was a dream come true for me as a photographer to witness and document a session where every frame told a story of genuine love. The connection between Anastasia and Gordon was so natural. In every session, I try to give very minimal “posing” directions. Instead, I give couples prompts that speak to their unique relationship. It was so fun to watch them be in their element!

As the session continued, I found myself immersed in the beauty of their relationship. The laughter, the stolen glances, and the quiet moments of shared understanding created a visual masterpiece that captured the true spirit of love. It was a reminder that connection is what makes us human.
