Michael and Branae

In an untypical fashion, I drove my three little ones to school. Normally they bike. I parked in the last row of the parking lot, ushered my children out of my mom vehicle, handed my youngest school going child his backpack when my oldest daughter noticed his lunch box was leaking. Cleaning up this spill allowed the school nurse enough time to track me down and ask me, "Is there any way at all that you could take my daughter's bridal pictures TODAY?" ....    .... ....

I guess her daughter's photographer had fallen through for whatever reason, which as you can imagine, was a stressing moment for all involved.

I called my wonderful friend, Ashley, who helps me on almost all my shoots and asked her if she had any plans. Luckily she was free and we pulled this little shoot together. I had Ashley second shoot for me for the first time ever and some of the images featured here are hers. She is a wonderful assistant AND a wonderful photographer. She has a very artistic eye.

It was such a memorable and fun event for us. Between a big, black cow blocking our path, to hydroplaning in the mud on the farm (in the mom vehicle) these two were a joy to work with!
