Pictures in the Park....SUCCESS!!

Sorry its been so darn long since he last blog, things have been...busy, to say the least.

As most of you know, im guessing, last weekend was the Pictures in the Park 

weekend.  Im not going to lie, I was totally expecting it to be the worst idea.

Honestly, I was really excited, but though Murphy was going to rear his 

ugly head.  Not because im a total pessimist or anything, but because this

was the first time I had done such a thing...I mean 20 shoots in 2 days?  WHAT? 

Plus all the rain that was supposed to come got me a little discouraged. 

But guess what...it was AHHHHMAZING!  The first family showed

up at 8 am on Saturday and it went so smoothly I was pumped from 

that point on!  I can honestly say I was very pleased with every session

and I am hoping everyone was pleased with what they got. Even

the ones we had to do in the rain turned out great.  I found a really

great covered area just around the corner that worked 

out beautifully.  

 I couldn't have done it AT ALL though without my assistant Kacey there.  She 

totally took charge and blew me away with her ability to just know what 

I needed her to do.  She was, I would say the most important part

of the day almost.  I mean, yeah, I was taking the photos and one

could argue that without the picture taker...there would be no pictures...

well one would be correct if they though that, but one would have to 

understand that without Kacey...all those hobos would have stolen 

my gear and nobody would have got their discs in a timely manner. 

I would probably still be there editing right now.  She would be like "seriously

Melodie, pick up the pace"  and I would argue, but it would make

me work faster.  She would call me on my walkie talkie, 

and if she wouldn't have been there to do that...I would have spent

all day on the first session.  She really is a great special helper...I kid Kacey

she is a great special ASSISTANT!

So without further rambling....here are some of the bests of each session 

from this wonderful experience.  

The first session was Abby and her fun son Justice.  So cute.  Check out those lashes.

Story Bug has grown up...so beautiful.

Thatcher and Bella were sooooo stinkin cute and fun to shoot!

Now for Sydney and her moms and pops

       

Britney and her beauties.  I loved how they were all in perfect fall colors.  I 

think they turned out awesome!
