We had a little change of plans for this fall senior session. I always try (note that I said “try”) to show up a little early for sessions so I have time to walk around, check out lighting, find the good spots and be aware of any unforeseen challenges or problems. Well, this session was one of many during the crazy busy fall week and I wasn’t getting ANYWHERE very early. So I pull up to our planned location at Burr Oak Woods and the gates are closed and there are trucks parked in front of them with people in orange vests around them. I’d like to say this is the first time this has ever happened so I didn’t know what was going on but unfortunately it has happened before so I did. There was a “managed hunt” happening. Once or twice in the fall they close down the area and let hunters in to thin out the deer population. So the only “shooting” that was going to take place there that day was with guns, not cameras. Oops.
We hopped in our cars and headed to the closest and most similar area I could think of on short notice and I think it turned out great! Morgan was a natural in front of the camera which didn’t hurt either. He isn’t sure what he wants to do after high school yet so I think he should consider modeling, right?
