Last Sunday morning I had the opportunity to shoot some engagement photos with an old friend and his fiance. I’ve known Clay since the inter-school rivalry of our 7th grade football teams. I met his fiance Tasha Sunday morning for the first time. The couple met us in Tulsa’s “blue dome district” for a quick 4th of July photo shoot. We walked around the blue-dome district for some nice pics and ultimately drove to a few different spot in downtown Tulsa. At one point, Ali and I were shooting some photos of Clay and Tasha when a few rednecks drove up in a Dodge Ram pickup and yelled out “happy 4th of July” and then threw an M-60 at my wife’s feet. Luckily she has the reflexes of a cat and was able to jump out of the way before the firecracker exploded. This was quite a ridiculous moment, but was quickly forgotten (by me at least) and we continued shooting. The sun couldn’t make up its mind so we tried to shoot in the shade as much as possible. For as much as we were moving around I opted to shoot everything on camera and I think they came out ok. We shot everything inside an hour and a half and I was able to get home to be with my family for my birthday. Overall, I think it was a great session and I think that their October 7th wedding might be a lot of fun to shoot. I’m in the middle of shooting videos at FCA Camp at Mid-America Nazarene University this week so things have been incredibly busy. I’ve seen a few outpatients this week in our Overland Park clinic so things are starting to “snow ball” a little now. I’m still processing wedding photos and Fleet Feet Firecracker 5K photos so hopefully I’ll get those up inside the next week. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your week. -Barnezy-
