Stuck in the Mud

Laura and Tom needed some photos in advance of their Jack & Jill, and while the weather didn’t hold out long enough for us to do their full-on engagement session that day, we decided to have some fun with a mini pre-engagement session.

Because they’re having a country & western theme they suggested doing the photos at an old barn in Enfield, and since I arrived a little early I thought I’d check out the location to make the shoot go a little more efficiently.

Now, I love my little car, but because it’s low to the ground I often don’t see certain road conditions until I’m on top of them. It had been raining much of the week, so in this case that translated to muddy off-road conditions between the main road and the barn.

Once I got halfway down the road (read: path) I realized the ground was no longer solid and was instead mostly mud, and my little car was up to the rims in it. Thankfully Tom had a pickup and tow chain and, once we’d finished with the shoot, towed me back to solid ground. Thanks Tom!

Of course I took some photos…
