Melissa and Mike and I had a rough first go at this session… It was gorgeous all day long and then as soon as we pulled up to get out of the cars to start walking into the park it started to get dark… really dark.  Aaaand then the rains came….so we retreated to our cars and rescheduled, and finally this time the sun was out!  This first photo is here for the sole reason that Mike and I were both totally baffled/fascinated by 23 hour surveillance in the woods…. which hour is the freebie where you can do whatever you want?!?

Mike got a truck and hence we had to sit on the tailgate!

okay, so sometimes Champagne corks pop when you aren’t ready… perhaps when you are in the middle of just chit chatting with your photographer, say, loosening the foil thingy… and on those rare occasions said cork may well just scare the bejeezus out of everyone.  HA!  Love it.  We all dropped like we were under fire!!  It was good for a laugh though!
