What a day!

What a day!

Today C and I shot a stunning-gorgeous -perfect couple in a respectively stunning-gorgeous-perfect location- 30 min outside of HSV. Well as we were shooting what could possibly be the coolest clients ever, the rain started falling more and more intently. We quickly hid our cameras first and ourselves second inside the car. The large car was parked in the field and had been swallowed by the soaked mud.
Andrew, one of the photo subjects who was the driver, pressed harder and harder on the pedal-- but the SUV would not budge. The situation grew worse, and our adventure more fun, as the rain kept going. We all got out in the rain and tried pushing on the car, we even tried standing the pumper to put more weight to get more pressure-- but nothing. As C and I were hanging on the car's bumper--Lauren pushed, and Andrew drove. All unsuccessful tries. In the meantime, and in the blink of an eye-- it turned night, and the rain kept falling. Andrew left to get some planks of wood (aka "for sale" signs"). C and I were in the car with Lauren (who must be one of the coolest most delightful women Ive met); we talked about it all, you know?! life. As we got to know these 2 amazing individuals-- we were actually having a blast being stuck in the mud for hours. So much so that we will have a "sequel" to the shoot in a couple of months and hopefully hang out soon and repeatedly ;)

And ..... Iphones are pretty darn amazing because they let you capture moments like these:




Lauren is even extraordinarily beautiful when she is soaked



I call this next one "the aftermath"--- my muddy boots


aaaaaand, this is what we did before it started raining!

Hilarious blog!!! Love the little video. "PANIC!" You both were so patient and helpful. It was great teamwork and I had a wonderful time getting to know you. And Vania, I know that standing on the bumper of the car was the LAST thing you wanted to be doing but you were such a trooper! How you ladies handled the circumstances was very admirable. Can't wait to hang out with you two again!
