Rain, a beautiful girl, mean sheep, and my aching back

What's my one-word description of the day, you ask?: INSANE.

Sure, I had warnings that there would be rain. I thought perhaps I'd be bored all day from lack of shooting.

Instead, here's what happened: (see if you can match the pictures below with their description)

Had a downtown Provo shoot early in the a.m. A beautiful high school grad- smart too! Loved the colors she wore mixed with the colors and texture found in the streets.

Went over to West Provo for a shoot with friends and their kids.

Was charged at by mean sheep across the road from said friend's.

I slipped on some mud and went crashing down onto my bum/back. My "friend" grabbed my camera and documented my landing position. Um, thanks so much, Courtney. Lucy  and the children looked on, trying to stifle laughter. Thanks, Lucy! Didn't think it hurt until I stood up again and couldn't bend over. Rest of the day was sort of a joke when it came to moving around. Yet....

I still drove to and fro Salt Lake city/provo in order to avoid cancelling any appts. For about 7 hours.

Ate sushi with cousins. I love cousins.

And I did it. I went through this crazy, rainy day, without missing any appointments, without any client having to go pictureless!

VICTORY IS MINE!!!!! (even though I can barely sit or walk.)

Can you move today?
You should be ready to sleep for a week when you get home.

you look way too cute there laying in the mud. in fact - i don't think i buy your story. looks like a fake fall to me. not nearly dirty or distraught enough. anything for a funny picture... huh Wendy?

miss you. please come home in one piece. and preferably not in a wheelchair.

She's gorgeous! And you must be a graceful faller! It DOES look like you meant to do that! P.S. I like your blue jeans and white shirt look. See, you added extra "artsy" accessories (i.e. heart your red chuck's), and you look official! :)

[Molly W.]

These are very nice indeed - I love how you brought out the intensity of her eyes in some of these, especially in no. 4. Some great compositions and the lighting is awesome too. Great job.

LOL, sorry or you back, but I love the pic!

Worth it, you look hot! Well you always do... but it's a great shot.

I was debating on getting black, white or red converse. It's confirmed now... RED! Love your shoes.
