CJ plays soccer with my little brother so it was fun seeing him... he's much bigger than I remember him! We had such a fun time during our shoot! We went to downtown Elkhart and braved the crazy homeless people for a while. It was so worth it!
This is where things got REALLY interesting... CJ suggested that he hang from this thing in the plaza...
So as we're trying to take this photo a lady sitting at a bench nearby tells us that we should take pictures of her daughter. I laugh it off and try to continue with the session...
At this point the woman comes back up and tells us that when she got married some random person took her photos. She says "I don't know why the girl took our photos... but she did and we had fun" HOW WEIRD IS THAT! So she goes on to tell me how I should have CJ hang on the edge of this HUGE art fountain thingy in the plaza. Now if CJ would even try to climb that far on it he would fall off and break both of his legs. The lady however thought this was a BRILLIANT idea. So we eventually just started ignoring her as she continued to interupt the session and tell me what photos I should take... all of which were absolutely insane.
As CJ peeked through this part of the fountain we were DYING laughing about this crazy lady!
AND THEN!!! As we're trying to walk away the woman explains that we can take pictures of her daughter if we want... as long as we get her permission. So at this point we're really kind of freaked out... because we realize she's talking about her DOG! The woman says "You can take her picture if you want... she'll pose however you want and smile really nice for you!". So I look at CJ and he looks back at me with the funniest face! So we just mumbled goodbye and walked away as fast as we possibly could. And then a bum asked us for money. What a crazy night!
