So I got to take Robert and Lindsey's family portraits today and it was so FUN! Coincidentally, we went to the Riverwoods shopping center to take the pictures, and I was so excited, having traipsed through its deserted streets with glee just last night. I was able to pose them in front of all the sites I drooled over last night. And even though we took the pictures during the day, the lights were still amazing and provided a very festive backdrop.
I noticed today that when I get into the groove of taking pictures, I don't notice much else. For example, I was so hyper-focused on getting the right angle for one of the shots with the family that I didn't even notice that I'd stepped in a very sticky mud patch. I was walking all over the mud, taking pictures here and there, and not noticing that my boots were getting more and more glued to the ground. It wasn't until I tried to move from the mud to a rock that I realized my boots were so gunked up and gooey that had no purchase when I stepped onto the smooth surface of the rock. Luckily I didn't slip or fall, and luckily my boots weren't real leather, so cleaning them off at home wasn't that difficult. I found it very funny because I honestly didn't care about the boots - I was more worried about slipping and falling - all I wanted to do was move on to the next location and get more pictures, but Robert and Lindsey were so worried about it.
The shot above is not one of the "portraits." I just like candid shots so much that I decided to pick it for the photo project. But we also got some really good portrait shots of the family that hopefully Robert and Lindsey will be able to use.
