I always love our family pictures each year. There has never been a year when I've been unhappy. This year is, of course, no exception. Eva truly is an amazing photographer. She has a unique ability to beautify things. The back story here is the weather was awful. We were meeting at 5:00 to shoot pictures at Lake Runnymead Conservation Area and at 4:40, when Daniel was picking Jackson up from the bustop and I was putting the final touches on the kids outfits and hair, it was pouring rain. The forecast had showed rain all day but no rain in the evening but wouldn't you know it didn't rain a drop all day and held out until the evening. I was so discouraged. For a couple reasons. Getting ready for pictures is exhausting. I didn't want to do it again. And. We didn't really have another free night in the near future. Eva came over and we discussed our options. The rain subsided a little bit and we saw some blue skies to the north. She decided to drive around and see if there was a spot nearby we could shoot if the rain took a break. Well, she succeeded. Just a stone's throw down the road, behind Lake Center we gave this wooded road a try. We had to hop in the car 1 time to wait out some rain but after that, not only did we get a beautiful rainbow (you'll see that pic below) but we got the most beautiful golden sun through the trees. It was perfect. The rain and humid, muggy air did a little number on my perfectly curled hair (a slight frizzball resulted) but other than that, I couldn't have dreamed of anything better.
