I have been spending much time preparing for a weekend in my home town, Forest City, Iowa. The weekend included a city wide garage sale and a photo shoot...My man, R.R., came with me and was able to snap a few shots of the photo shoot in progress...one of his photos is posted here. More from the photographer to come at a later date!
It was an interesting day.
The plan was to head to Heritage Park and take some shots with my photographer's father's '57 Ford, but upon awakening on Sunday morning (the day of the shoot) it was dreary and raining. Needless to say, I was a bit pessimistic about the prospects of the day. My hair has historically been very temperamental when it comes to humidity (as I'm sure many of you curly haired people know). I stood in the hair care aisle in Pamida that morning for nearly 20 minutes deciding (and undeciding) what "humidity control" and "curl boosting" products to rely upon. I settled on TRESemme - Climate Control Mousse and was very pleasantly surprised. Hair care products for curls can be so hit and miss...which is why all curly haired individuals (even strangers to one another) always have the same conversation with each other..."I love your hair! What on Earth do you USE???"
After applying the mousse and hoping for the best, I called the photographer. The weather was a bit drizzly and the outdoor shots were a no-go at this point, but she had a solution. I would go to her house for some indoor shots and we'd then play it by ear. By the time the indoor shots were completed, the weather had subsided and it was time to head to the original shoot location!
Here's one of my favorites. This is one of R.R's behind the scenes shots. I will surely post more when I get them from the photographer. This ended up being quite a delightful day!
