If only you knew what Andrew and I went through to snap these photos. We stopped by Farmington historic home to take some quick pictures and the sun was at the perfect spot in the sky {oh hey, golden hour}. So, I'm struttin' my stuff and he's snapping away, until I feel a tickle on my arm. When I look down, my body is covered in gnats. I'm honestly not exaggerating--they swarmed us. I {of course} freak out, run away, slapping myself and shaking my body convulsively and then immediately getting into the car {while shutting all doors and windows}. I even made Andrew take off his shirt and make sure all of those nasty critters were gone {seeing his abs were a perk}. The fact that any of these pictures turned out decent is nothing short of a miracle because we couldn't stand still for more than a couple seconds. There was a wedding reception going on at the other side of the house, so if they had a similar gnat problem then that was probably tragic.
Moral of the story: I won't be going back there for a shoot until spring is over. Yikes.
