When I say that I woke before the crack of dawn, this is not hyperbole: it was something like 4:35 am, and I was up and too excited to stay in bed. Today was the day for the much anticipated portrait session with Natalie, and I wanted to make sure that we got out as early as possible for two reasons: firstly, in order to avoid the heat wave we’ve been enduring here in the Valley this week, where it’s been as high as 111\u00b0F; and secondly, remember that insane light I was talking about last time? I thought that just possibly going out a little earlier in the morning might help with that issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were backing out of the driveway at 6am sharp, and I was overwhelmed with gratitude to find that there was actually a smidge of high cloud cover – which I hadn’t even “bothered” to pray for, assuming that summer in Phoenix is what it is – a blindingly hot oven of sunshine. But God is so gracious and provided exactly what we needed. It was a balmy 84\u00b0F and I couldn’t have asked for more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I brought my 100mm f\/2.8 and 50mm f\/1.4 and ended up only using the 50mm, since I wanted the option of going a little wider. Of course, that also meant that if I wanted a headshot, I had to get mighty close! \ud83d\ude42 Thankfully Jacob was ready and willing to move me around where I needed to go. I’m so grateful for his help. (And I’m still counting the days and counting my pennies till I can get that RF70-200mm f\/2.8!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is my college girl. How blessed I am!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
