It rained the entire shoot.

We laughed.  A lot.

Jill was so radiantly GORGEOUS.  If it wasn’t so cold and RAINY, I would have shot her ALL day.  You are all probably thinking in your heads why we crazy people decided to still do a photo session in the rain.  Well.  Jill is from Washington, and it was the only day we could do it before she headed back home.  But I was up for it, because I know Jilligity…and she is one of those people who make things work.  She wasn’t even stressed about the rain.  She was just like, “oh well…it rains a lot in Washington so no big deal.”  Her main reason for taking these pics was for her kids.  A way to document this time in her life as a mother.  So beautiful.

Jill.  I have no words to describe how amazingly gorgeous you are.  I was so worried because of the rain.  Even after the shoot, I was stressed driving home thinking about how the rain ruined our shoot.  How the rain was dripping all over our faces, how I continually fogged up my camera, and how the rained drenched our clothes…and of course, you can see it in your pictures.  I was cursing in my head throughout the shoot thinking how much the rain interfered how I needed to hurry to get you out of the rain QUICK.   I shouldn’t have worried.  I should have taken my time, because  as I looked over your images, I loved how it turned out.  I love how perfectly imperfect they are.  I wished I would have gotten more of you and your gorgeous self.  So now I’m cursing at myself that I should have had more fun in the rain…like you!

You truly are a BEAUTIFUL mother and friend!  Thanks for having me take your photos!

P.S.  Cindy…you were amazing!  Standing in the rain with us, holding all the equipment.  thank you. thank you.  luvs to you!
