So some days (or sometimes a couple of days in a row) just don’t go quite as planned. Yesterday during our senior shoot we had an tripod EPIC FAIL moment! The leg collapsed and camera crashed to the ground in slow motion(onto the grass thankfully). The pocket wizard remote broke and snapped off the camera. Cripes. Not good…and kinda expensive. Thank goodness the camera was fine at least AND the photos turned out great. By the way… why is it that things like that ALWAYS seem to happen in slow motion but somehow the catlike reflexes never kick in quickly enough to save a piece of photography equipment for certian disaster?!
Fast forward a few hours… we got a special late night visit from a friend who has recently come back from a Navy deployment to Iraq. Thanks Mike for serving our county so that we can have all the incredible freedoms that are most definatly taken for granted. I don’t think thank you is ever said enough. So, even when a friend shows up at midnight and doesn’t leave until 4am… how can you say no to catching up with a best friend?! Well, the answer is… you don’t. You just get to get very little sleep and intake copius amounts of coffee to get through the rest of the morning. It was worth it and we got new creamer anyways so the coffee was kind of amazing.
That brings us to this morning. We pryed ourselves out of bed and prepped for one of our favorite things…a new born baby session. We should really total up one day how many babies we’ve welcomed into the world. About 10 minutes before the session we get a phone call from Justin (dad of sweet new baby). It seems that the construction crew working along the main road next to our studio decided to dig out the front of our street making it completely impossible for us to get out and anyone else to get it. It’s a dead end street morons!! A little warning would have been nice. Poor Jill and Justin waited in the Jack-n-the-Box parking lot for almost an hour while they reconstructed the driveway leading to the studio. Thank goodness they were patient because we got to meet the most precious new little baby when they arrived. It totally made the wait worth while. Hopefully the portraits made the wait worth while for them. Here are a few of our favorite images from the shoot!
