What an amazing and beautiful day Sunday afternoon was. The 50′s with a slight breeze but an absolutely beautiful and gorgeous blue sky with scattered clouds. I’m not the meteorologist but I get really excited when I see a blue sky and scattered clouds after such a dreary and cold and wet winter we’ve had. Better yet I was out of town and there wasn’t a tall building or skyscraper to be found! :) Bring in Josh and Sara. I met Sara this past Fall when she called and asked to do a session with her sisters as a gift for their parents for Christmas. The day we got together was the polar opposite from Sunday. Windy, below 40, wet, gray, and miserably COLD. Thankfully Hawthorn Suites was kind enough to let us take pictures inside their lobby before we headed outside to face the cold. Despite the weather we had a great time and never ending smiles. :)
It was too nice of an afternoon to pass up and I had a couple of hours to kill as I had another session later that afternoon so Sara and Josh, who had already planned to picnic after church didn’t mind if I tagged along with the camera. Yes!
Sara is generally a happy person, and was full of smiles in between her teeth chattering this Fall, but it doesn’t compare to the way she lights up when she’s with Josh. Fun, happy, joyful those words don’t even begin to express their pure happiness when they are found together. Anyways… we arrived at Berry College and took a hike in an open field to the top of a hill to set up a picnic. As we were at the peak of the hill the breeze was pretty strong and it wasn’t long before Sara got cold. Josh being the gentleman he is ran back to the car to grab her coat. We were just chatting it up and happen to be upwind of where the cars were parked and didn’t hear what was about to happen…
The next two images are straight out of the camera (SOOC).
Sara was sharing her lunch.. what a sweetheart!
As Josh was coming back across the fence it gave way and left him pinned between the boards and the barb wire. We didn’t hear the board snap or his calls for help and only looked up to see what looked like him straddling the fence. We didn’t think too much of it but after a couple of minutes when he didn’t move we realized something must be wrong so we went running over (still kind of laughing as we thought he was playing some sort of joke on us). It wasn’t until we were feet away that we saw foot was up under him and his knee was severely trapped between the wire and the board and the top board of the fence was gone. It took both Sara and I to counter the tension in the wire that was against his leg to help him get free. We’ll just say the fence won this battle and the picnic was over. Josh’ entire shin was bloody, cut, and bruised and he had cuts and puncture wounds on his other leg and shoulder. I’ve never seen anyone hold it together like he did and remain totally calm. We went on a search for ice and a first aide kit and were successful with the ice but returned to Josh’s to bandage him up. I was more concerned on treating Josh’s battered leg rather than get pictures of the scene… besides I don’t know how many of you would want to see a bruised and bloody leg in the midst of such a beautiful couple. Needless to say that ended our picnic, BUT later in the afternoon Josh was willing to go out and give it another try. Here’s what we got… Feel free to leave your comments! :)
I love her expression here.
Going for a drive but Sara wasn’t so sure…
