happy july!
its been a busy few weeks filled with all kinds of excitements and stress :)
i've missed you blogger.
i ended last month with a new camera :) and i started this month with all kinds of fabulous things to photograph with it!
my sweet friend
kaitlin and i got together for another impromptu photo session and it turned out incredible!
my vision was flowing wavy hair and hippie dresses and this is a sample of what we got. to see the entire session please check
here.
it was a really lovely evening and i was hoping to catch beautiful light as the sun was setting. these locations are only about a mile down the road from our place. we pass a wheat field and farmers market on one side and wide open fields of wild flowers and abandoned land on the other. i just had to use both sides of the road it was perfect!
disclaimer: (mom don't read past this point or i'll get a lecture LOL)
i saw an abandoned house set way back off the road and decided to park in the driveway for a few while we utilized the sunset coming across the field. we got some really fantastic shots and headed back to the car. my original plan was to back right up into the street and head home. i had no plans of driving up near the house. (i mean come on i knew the house looked creepy!) however, as we were walking back to my car a columbus police car pulls in behind me to see what we were doing. when i turned around with my camera still around my neck the female officer leaned out of the passenger window and asked if i was just out taking photos. when i said we were using the sunset and field of flowers she smiled and looked over at her male counterpart who seemed relieved. i told them we were done and about to leave hoping that they would just drive off. instead they told us why they stopped to check on us and it sent chills all over. then it got awkward too.
the officers explained that this home had been raided a while back and discovered to be a meth house and the location of a recent homicide... so they are required to check on anything that happens there. then they instructed us to pull up the drive way because there was a turn around near the house!!! omg. we circled the driveway and i noticed that the cop car was flashing its lights at us now. what the heck?! so i stopped to look back and saw them both get out and walk towards us. they asked if we would settle an argument for them... if we thought the daisies in the field were yellow or orange. weird!! then they continued to talk about the homicide that took place in the house!! it was described to us like the living room and chairs of the texas chainsaw massacre. freaky!!! and to top it all off they told us we could go inside and take pictures if we wanted too. oh my lord i was so freaked out! it was one of the most odd and creepy things i could imagine. right before we hopped in the car the male officer looked at us and said "you just cant trust anyone, there are so many crazies." i wanted to run for my life LOL!
the chances we take for beauty :) and i need to get some mace.
peace & love~
