It's a Jedi baby!

Josh and Annalee made my day when they asked me to shoot some before and after photos for Eisley, their soon to be baby! Love the name by the way. I shot their wedding a while back and am so glad they called me up for the next big event in their lives.

The shoot was going so well until I knelt down next to the San Gabriel River to get a low shot of them by the water, and I dropped my 16-35mm lens in! I was in shock for at least 10 seconds, with not a movement in my body. I think I almost fell in, or jumped in after it. Josh was insisting on jumping in to get it and I seriously considered doing it myself. It was too late. The water was nasty, the shoot had just started, and if I was able to find it on the bottom of that dark green water, who knows if it could be salvaged. I didn't want to think about it, but just get through the shoot. I did my best to keep it out of my mind for the rest of the morning and I was able to still have fun with Josh and Annalee, and Darth Vader (their dog).
