The Elliott Family ~ On Holy Ground

After technically trespassing exactly a year ago today during the shoot with the Elliotts, this time we decided to play it safe! Chad is the Executive Pastor at Revolution Church in Canton, and they were about to break ground on a new building, so they wanted to do their session on that piece of land before the grading company came in and completely changed the landscape. It was cold & windy, yet sunny so we did what we could with no cloud cover... I even had Chad stand next to Isaac to try to have him be shaded which ended up being hilarious as he just wanted to do what daddy did and then snuggle for warmth!  The kids took a break in the heated van while Christie & Chad took a stroll and had some fun playing piggy-back rides! Then after an outfit change we attempted some more family shots on pallets. Poor Neena couldn't get warm at all, I'm thinking they ended up drinking hot chocolate with dinner. All in all they were their goofy selves and I'm sure they will look back and have the picture under the white Surrender flag be their favorite as the years come and go!

      

 

Trespassing with the Elliotts

Just up the street from my house is this old metal building that I always thought would make a great background for pics so we hit it up for the Elliott's family shoot... about half way through a guy came out of nowhere and ask what we were doing... as if it wasn't obvious, they are posing and I have a camera in my hand! Anyway, he was nice enough and let us finish up after telling us that they were having a problem with people stealing scrap metal from there; they will be the only family with that backdrop though because now if you drive by there is a huge No Trespassing sign!
