people in a haystack
Yep…that’s what I call it! This past Sunday I had the opportunity to photograph the Boyle family. Instead of the urban feel they wanted something more out in nature. So I suggested a spot that I had just visited two weeks earlier with Eric’s sister’s family’s shoot. It’s a favorite spot of their’s and now mine too. Funny thing is when we did his family’s session there wasn’t a person in sight. Now of course when I take clients (now new friends) out there…a security truck rolls by & even border patrol shows up. Luckily they were just checking out things and were totally cool with us being there even though they did haul ‘you know what out’ to us. Yep they were really roughing it down the hill & fields to get to us and all by foot. But that’s a first. Never been chased down before. My heart was racing. It was exciting. Ok well back to the shoot…Eric had reminded me when we arrived to not forget to try this shot. I’m so happy I did. It’s totally fun, silly, and edgy. I could see it as a huge canvas art piece. It’s kinda my spin on the ‘pitch fork’ shot with the husband & wife out in the country…but with no pitch fork…LOL. We didn’t have one of those out there. The family was so great & they even brought along little ‘Dixie’ their long haired dachshund puppy. Which of course every time I turned around Eric had her in his arms. Such a sucker for little dogs. Can’t wait to show you the rest! I got some great ‘in the moment’ shots as well with the kiddos running through the fields. You can never go wrong with a lovely clear blue sky & lush yellow fields of grass…I mean HAY.
