My first "Dancing with the Stars" shoot for the year.

Tina came from California to Utah before she moved to Australia to do this shoot. She wanted mountains and trees in the background. Unfortunately the weather here in Utah has been cold, rainy, and even snowy up in the mountains so finding a good location was tough. Using my internet prowess I found a spot near Price to shoot at, but I didn't how the terrain was, and you kinda need a nice flat spot for this type of shoot, so we took a gamble on the location since it was about the only place that was close enough and had clear skies.
Once I got to the original location, I was severely disappointed by it and we went driving around, desperately trying to find something. Eventually we found this spot in the middle of the road that gave us a good view to the southern sky and a mostly flat road.

The next challenge was the temperature. You can imagine how cold a steel pole feels against your bare skin when the temp is 50ºF. To help Tina not freeze to death we put the pole in my car (along with Tina) and blasted the heater until the pole warmed up enough. We'd then hurry and put the pole up and take a bunch of shots until it was too cold for comfort. We did this 3 or 4 times over an hour or so.
