See there was this storm, and i have these kids…

June 17, 2010

It has been a week of have to’s. You know what I mean, doing all the things you have to do. I love my job, but I desire time and space to photograph and create just for fun, where there is no pressure. This is one of those moments. Shortly after a client left the house the other day, a storm blew up. A big one. I knew at the very least that I was going to to sit on the front porch and watch it blow in. I wanted the winds to blow all the way through my soul, and sweep away the stress of trying to get everything just right. I was headed that way when I saw my daughter Katie in the hallway. “Let’s go out and shoot in the storm!” I blurted out. Katie is such a good sport. She agreed, and out we went. Moments later,  Johnny was out there with us, holding the light and then getting in a couple himself. It felt so wonderful, out there with the wind, my camera,  my kids (and one Alien Bee 800 with a 30 degree grid spot). I will get Annie in on it next time. 🙂

So fun! Here are the results.

May you have a surprise storm in your life this week. The refreshing kind.

    Fabulous girl. Simply fabulous. I miss good storms like that. I don’t have the right kind of porch/land/farm/wide open spaces to enjoy them the same. I’d love to be there for the next one. =)

    Your family is blessed to have a mother as talented as yourself! Such fantastic moments can be captured! And you are blessed to be so gifted! These pictures are a big deep storm breath. Love the 3rd down. Beautiful family. Much love to you all! 🙂
