Thank goodness I have flexible, easy going clients, or this session could have really been a bust! To start with, we had to reschedule a couple of times, mostly due to bad weather. Winter is well on its way, and it has been raining and raining and raining here in Baumholder. We finally got a day where it wasn’t raining, but it was wet and foggy. I did my homework, and checked out the location the morning before the shoot, so I figured we were good to go. We parked, and got some great pictures. The problem came when we went back to the cars so we could drive to a different location. I had not taken into account how wet and muddy the grass was, and when we tried to drive back up the little hill we had parked on, we were stuck. With some direction from Juan, I was able to get enough momentum to get my car up the hill, but their car just kept spinning in the wet grass. Luckily, a very nice German man stopped his van and helped the Villegas’ push their car free. Their car was plastered from fender to bumper in mud. I really should have taken a picture, but I was so embarrassed I didn’t even think of it. I was very careful about where we parked the second time around and the remainder of our session was great. Thanks guys, for being so patient and understanding, and for helping me get my car unstuck. I really enjoyed getting to know you and I hope you love your pictures.
