little troopers

every now and again i will have a session that seems to have everything going against it, whether its reschedules due to weather or sickness. it just happens from time to time. well, this seemed like one of those sessions. mom shannon had contacted me wanting some pictures of her boys. the last time i photographed the hyatt boys, there were just two of them, sam and teddy. this family has grown and now there are three hyatt boys! i couldn't wait to meet the newest addition john and see how everyone had changed. then came a bit of craziness. i honestly lost count of the number of times we changed the date, but i know we had lots of rain, super strong wind, and then poor little john came down with the chicken pox. i was worried shannon might want to just give up, but we finally had a great evening for pictures and we were all ready to go. we had talked about taking these somewhere 'grassy' and i thought the farm would be perfect because there is lots of room for three boys to run and play. once we got there the grass was SOOO long....taller than even little john! we trekked through the all the grass trying to make our way to some spots where it wasn't so crazy. oldest brother sam was my little entertainer for his brothers. teddy had fallen asleep in the car and with a little help from sam we gots some laughs. john had the most beautiful curls and was just starting to walk. although it was a bit crazy, with even me sneezing like crazy by the end, we made it happen and came away with some really sweet images. big thanks so these little troopers and one really patient mom. shannon....thanks for hanging in there and i promise it was all worth it!
