Information about the Location

• Nearest Town: Pine, AZ
• Best Season: Year round. Late spring through summer you can likely find green grass. In the winter there can be snow on the ground. If that is the case we may have to park on the highway and take the quick 5 minute walk in.
• Best time of day: Early morning through early evening. The sun sets behind the mountain much earlier (30-45 minutes depending on the season) than the actual sunset time for Pine, AZ. We will want to be sure to start with plenty of time to shoot.
• Easily accessible with minimal hiking. This location works well with all shoe types and with all ages.
• Great for that forest look our area is known for, while still allowing for plenty of light (most forest locations don’t allow enough light on faces and make the photos look dreary and dark; this place allows for that glow that we love so much!).
