this last weekend i left for UT on friday, went straight to my client's house where we packed her up into the esclade (along with her mom and sister) and headed up Cottonwood Canyon for her bridal session. It was a beautiful, clear and sunny day but oh so cold in the shade! Sha'lee was a great sport though in her strapless dress standing in the snow! we had a great time, found a fire station with some great brick and some beautiful bridges. i "had to" climb down into the rocks at the bottom of the river to get some good shots of Sha'lee on the bridge...the rocks i climbed down were covered in about 3 inches of snow. YES! haha too bad i left my gloves in the car. it was great though, i'm really happy with the way her photos turned out. The next day after running around doing some BFA interviews and shoots and an 18 minute power nap i booked it out to Sha'lee and Chad's for their engagement session. We hit up Wheeler Farms. It was great! there were tons of old buildings, barns, trees, animals and bridges to use as backgrounds. we had a lot of fun once we got Chad to loosen up. Boys are so funny that way, they almost always feel awkward in front of the camera, (i feel that way too..but shh don't tell, i'll stick with being behind it for now!). We had a blast and i got to roll around in duck poo! I love my job! it's great not having to worry about anything but getting a great shot!
that night after a fun and yummy Thai dinner with my Grandparents, i went to Provo to stay the night at Hanna and Chris' because i was too tired to drive the 4 hours back to Rexburg. Upon arrival to Hanna's it was dark, about 8:30pm and we had to find somewhere to park my car overnight. We bundled up and set out in search of somewhere that my car wouldn't get towed. We found a street up the hill from her apartment that had a road with tons of cars parked along it, we looked both ways before parking in case there was a sign notifying us of the tow zone, all clear! or so we thought.
after a night of ice cream, catching up and watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail (i fell asleep, i guess i'm not classy enough for that one! haha!) and then some shut eye, Hanna and i set out to get my car so that i could hopefully make it back in time for Break the Fast with my ward. Well....we drive up the street, all the way to the top...my car is nowhere to be found. great...you have to be kidding me. both hanna and i were thinking. we look to the left..and BAM! there it is. the tow zone sign and their phone number.
Yes, they have my car.
No, there is nothing this guy can do about the price to get it back.
20 minutes, is how long till he comes back after un-booting some other unfortunate soul in Orem.
so i get there trying to maintain my composure, it was Sunday after all.....
and then he showed up, i'm getting more and more upset while struggling to maintain my cool, and not let Hanna feel too bad for me. and then he tells me its 175.00...cool. i tried to strike up a deal for advertizing for them...they may need a photographer?
"I'm already married..." he says...i look at him...
"I realize that...i wasn't referring to anything like that..."
what an...idiot. i was beyond mad and may have said...bull crap. sue me.
haha. chalk that one up to experience i guess, it was a great and extremely long/busy weekend in spite of it all and i was grateful to see friends and family for about a nano second. and i'm even more grateful to be back home in Rexburg.
