My name's Jacob Darensbourg, a portrait photographer based out of Long Beach, CA.
My pastor and his wife are probably two of the coolest people I've met. They're filled with the love of the Lord, magnetic, compassionate, patient, insanely goofy, and always a blast to be around. Also they were so loving and playful in this amazing session. I'm no wordsmith, so I'll let the images do to talking.
For a long time I've heard about how people say the desert in enchanting. Amid the blazing heat, arid conditions, and distance from "civilization", there's truly something special about it. Plants fighting for survival, critters living in the shade of tower rocks, and zero cell service show you that even when you think nothing is happening, something really is. I guess I'm slowly getting why God had the Israelites wandering the desert for 40 years.
And yeah, I'm already scheming on the soonest I can get back to exploring this awesome place.
