I had the opportunity to work with Stephanie a few weeks ago to create some special portraits for her. Stephanie’s husband secretly set everything up and sprung it on her as a Christmas gift.  What a great gift, right? I think it’s amazing. Instead of something that may not have as much meaning, here is a tangible gift that they both will have and cherish forever with incredible memories to look back on.

Stephanie and I met in a discreet location shortly before the Atlanta sunset started and made our way through the tall grass blowing from the warm wind. As we started shooting I began to feel severe pain in my legs. I quickly realized I was standing in a massive fire ant pile. Just an FYI, don’t do that!

I had tons of bites and my legs and feet were burning badly. I jumped out of the pile and stripped off my socks and shoes. I began smacking all of the ants off as fast as I could until they were gone. The pain was pretty rough and I have a high pain tolerance. Those ants don’t play around.

After my war with ants, Stephanie and I continued our session and I just worked through the pain. We made our way around the vast farmland shooting portraits and enjoying the awesome weather. The area offered a nice diversity of tall grass, pine trees, crops, and wide-open fields where the sun could shine through freely. After we wrapped things up I made my way home as fast as I could. I put some ice on my legs and feet to cool the burning. Luckily I didn’t have to go to the hospital and we came out with some awesome photos.
