Best Friends Forever!

I had to post a few more pics from this session. It was a load of fun. The girls were a little timid to begin with. We were shooting adjacent to a park with many homeless residents. There was a character there who was preaching the word to anybody who would listen. Actually, he was yelling the word at those who would not listen. When we arrived he was standing over a young couple having a picnic. How for the love of God they were able to ignore him I do not know, but they did. We watched from a distance while waiting for the girls to arrive. Eventually he got tired of preaching to them and moved on to a group of homeless. Soon he was on the other side of the square. Then the girls arrived.

They heard him first and then saw him on the other side of the square. They rolled their eyes and I know thought this guy was not playing with a full deck. The mom leaves and we begin with some shots to get them used to the camera. They start having fun, doing some silly shots and are starting to relax. Then in the distance we hear the sound of God getting closer. I look over to see that we have been selected as this preachers next audience. He is literally screaming at us so loud that you could not distinguish what the man was saying. The girls looked over and turned white. They were out of the park and across the street in seconds. I could not help but laugh. He must have had one of those wireless collars like I have for my dog at home because he got to the edge of the park yelling and then went away never crossing the street.

The girls relaxed and we got some great shots.
