Before my eyes even opened this morning I heard the rain falling outside. I sat there forever just feeling how amazing being in bed was. I could have stayed there forever. And then the thoughts of our photo shoot started to creep into my mind. It's raining, but I hate to cancel, so should I find a backup plan, or should I just go and see what happens, I need to bring an umbrella, and a towel, I should leave extra travel time for traffic, I wonder if the place will be open........

And so I was up. Throughout the 100's of photoshoots that we have done we have never had to shoot in the rain. Maybe sprinkles, but never a downpour. So as I drove to Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden I was feeling pretty confident. I figured that as long as Kelly was down for a bit of moisture...then we are game. As soon as I met her I knew she was going to be laid back enough to handle the elements. The rain held off just long enough for us to get what we came for and then the sky let go. Rain fell in buckets as we walked to our cars and said goodbye.
So for now....our record is still good!!!! Thanks Kelly for being so great today!!
