Fun Family Portraits
I met this family a couple of weeks ago for a fun photo session that ended with the kids getting soaking wet. :) It had rained all day, and I have to admit I was kinda excited. I have been dying to do a shoot in the rain or at least right after a good rain. The rain stopped just in time for our session and the light was amazing. I loved that there were giant puddles everywhere. What was even more exciting was when when Mom said it was OK for the kids to play in those puddles. Fun, fun, fun! I have the best clients ever!
The story behind this picture is pretty funny. I got a flat tire at the park. I needed to go get air ASAP. I followed Craig to the nearest gas station since he is more familiar with the area than me. On the way there I was kicking myself in the butt because I didn't take a picture of their feet. I loved that Craig wore his favorite beat up boots, and that Jessica wanted to be barefoot most of the time. We talked about those boots so much. Their feet really said a lot about them and I missed the shot. That eats me up more than anything. Of all times not to get a feet shot, this was not it. So we pulled into the UDF to get air and I asked them to get out and let me get a picture of their feet before they changed outfits. Thankfully they did not think I was too crazy and they did it without hesitating.
Ault Park has gorgeous flower lined paths, wooded trails, and beautiful architecture. It is a great backdrop for photos. 
I thought it was awesome that I was waiting for them on the exact same bench Craig proposed to Jessica on. Of all of the benches at the park, I chose to sit there, magic!
Next we headed to my neighborhood, Main Strass, where Jessica and Craig first met.
