I LOVE LOVE LOVE this family! All I can say is I WISH I had video evidence from this shoot because the video would’ve gone viral. I will paint the picture….Driving in the car….it’s a glorious day! The sky is bright blue, the trees are overgrown and dancing in the sunlight, the world is lush and green from all the refreshing rain we have had over the past week. We park the car with smiles on our faces, turn the cars off, get out, and immediately die from the humidity and blazing sun that is shooting it’s million degree laser beams down on us. Holly jumps out of the car with missing nails and the wrong shirt, and mosquitos smell our blood and start dive bombing us. “We got this, let’s just shoot one picture over here in the hottest section of the universe and then we will find shade and we’ll be totally fine.”
Not only did I choose to shoot the 1st photo in the hottest portion of the universe, but there were also 1.5 million baby frogs and 2.3 million fire ants residing on that portion of the earth. “Okay I got the photo, let’s go find shade!” (we’re already drenched from the gallons of sweat pouring out of every pore). Dodging the frogs, ants, and mosquitos, we find some spots along the way. Colton hates every idea I have and runs the opposite direction as fast as possible. Brynn is miserable because her shoes are giving her blisters, Brian is trying to remain calm. We got some more photos and headed to find MORE SHADE. By this point, Holly tells Brian he should just go shirtless because his shirt was so wet. As I am taking the last group of photos, bugs are attacking me from every angle. All I hear is buzzing in my ears and beetles were trying to build a nest in my hair, I’m screaming and running in circles like a damn fool and we all almost pee our pants from laughing so hard. THE END
Truly the best and worst photo shoot experience of my life.
