Well, it's not everyday that you get a request to take some photographs at a Lowe's Home Improvement Store next to some beautiful live Christmas trees! But, who could turn down such an offer?? Last Saturday was my chance to do something out of the ordinary. At first, I was nervous about taking my Big camera and flash inside, even in the Garden Section, which I had quite a few perplexed stares from store shoppers and employees, but I trotted on, and looked around for my friend Emily Law, and a place that would not show too much "store supplies". Shortly after, Emily and her grandchildren arrived all dressed up and looking so lovely and 'wintery' in their attire for their Christmas Portraits.
They picked out their tree that they were going to buy & put up at their Grandmother's house, Mrs. Emily Law. Therefore, Tee (Emily's son & the kids Dad) got the Christmas tree they picked out and sat it in one of those cement blocks. It actually turns out that Tee is in ALL the photos since he is Behind the Christmas tree holding it up and straight, but he didn't peep out long enough for me to grab a shot of him too.
Unfortunately, I only had less than half-an-hour to get a few photos of
her grandchildren as I was scheduled to be in Dadeville for another session an hour later; but this quick session was easily done as they were, and always are
(to me anyway), very sweet and cooperative.
All in all, we had a good time, a tiny bit rushed, but I was happy to be able to get the Christmas Tree images Emily was wanting. And, we even did a little catching up on some Christmas gossip and how each of our families were doing. So how did a Session at Lowe's come about you're thinking?? Well it all started with Mrs. Emily, and that she thought it would be a neat and a unique idea to get their photos
made at Lowe's with their Christmas tree and then all the other
surrounding trees are in the back ground, it had enough light in the Garden
Center for exposure, and that it was... different!
Here are a few snaps from the Lowe's Christmas Session. Hope you enjoy these, and may it spark your unique & wild ideas for some photo opportunities!
