May 8th went exactly as planned. I showed up that evening to pick up my daughters recital costume on time, and started putting up the backdrops for the next day. I wanted to get as much done that night as far as placement of lighting, backdrops steamed, etc. so that early the next morning I could start my day long dance portrait session. Little did I know that the clouds were changing. May 9th, picture day, went nothing like I had expected!
I woke up at 5:30 a.m. to find Delbarton in the middle of a flood! Quickly I learned that not only Delbarton was covered in water, but most of the area was experiencing horrible flooding. I ended up making it to the studio by mid day to take a few pictures of the girls who lived very close by the studio and have spent the majority of the evening hours this week making up for lost time on Saturday.
I consider myself lucky to be able to make things up this week, as many of the good people in this area remain without electricity and water. Many are homeless and it breaks my heart to see people suffering. I hope that everyone gets back on their feet very quickly!
I hope to be adding some more portraits and maybe some group pictures to this post soon, so check back soon!
That's a beautiful picture! I am so proud of you.
