During my latest visit to Joshua Tree, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a truly unique experience. Not only did I have the privilege of capturing an elopement through my lens, but I also had the chance to model for my friend Chad Barela's exquisite jewelry line. Chad's creations are a testament to his artistic mind, each piece embodying raw beauty that transcends time.

Chad's jewelry line seamlessly blends into the natural aesthetics of Joshua Tree, mirroring the rugged charm of the desert itself. The pieces are an expression of artistry and individuality, capturing the essence of the desert's allure.
