Mitch

So, Jason and I arrived at our second destination for this great senior shoot and started scouting out the location while Mitch was changing clothes. Yeah that path is great, ooh the grass near the water will be a good spot and oh we must use that great log over there.

When Mitch is ready we start with the path...a couple of young bike riders squeeze by. Then I move Mitch to the very center of the path right at the bottom of a small hill - it's a great spot, the path frames him, the colors are great, we're getting some great shots and then come some more bike riders, this time there are four adults. "Sorry," I say. They don't seem too pleased. Then it finally hits me, I've positioned Mitch right in the middle of a bike path at the bottom of a hill - the last place that riders want to be slowed down. Oops! Sorry about that riders. So, the next time I'm stuck behind a slow poke I'll know that it's karma coming back for me.

We continue with the shoot and are going to wrap up with the log. As we start walking that way I realize that it's quite a climb to the log and mention that it might not work, it's just too high, too dangerous, blah, blah, blah. Jason takes one look at Mitch and asks what he thinks. "Epic." What was I thinking, of course they are going to shoot on the log.

Lesson learned...Jason gets to pick the next few portrait spots - let's see what he comes up with.

At the end of the day the shots on the path turned out great as well as the shots on the log.

Enjoy!
