baby bumps and baby goats.

Every chance I've gotten to work with Clair at The Bump Maternity Boutique has been so much fun!  She is this incredible business woman who has everything figured out.  She adores being a mom to her two girls and devotes at least (probably more) as much time to them as she does her one year old shop.  She knows when, where, and how to spend her time to make the most of everything.

We planned a couple of months in advance for our shoot of her spring line that is now in her store.  We wanted the chance to work with local models who would bring some personality and fun to her website.  After a call for models it was pretty difficult to choose from all of the gorgeous wome who signed up for the opportunity.  I'm so excited that the women we chose were a dream to work with!

The day of the shoot was on a really beautiful farm in Rock Hill.  The days before the shoot had been rainstorm after rainstorm.  The sky literally opened up for the day of our shoot and for a few short hours up until our shoot was finished and then the sky darkened and rained again for days afterwards.  It felt like our own little miracle.  When Clair and I would talk we would wonder if the forecast really knew what it was talking about with only one sunny day in the middle of so many rainy days!

We had so many things that needed to be lined up in addition to the planets aligning for good weather...baby goats, baby chicks, scheduling, etc.  And by a lovely miracle they all did.  Yay!

Thank you to all our fantasitc models who were willing to venture into pastures where unknown surprises were lurking, holding baby chicks, wrestling baby goats, changing clothes in a barn, 4-wheeling in mini vans, dodging mud puddles, feeding horses, walking among chickens, looking into the sun, standing on shaky porches, and running through fields.  What a great time to hang out with women who were so fun, enjoyed laughing, and were so happy to be part of this project. 

farm. LIFE.
