How many photographers do you know that travel to your session with a paramedic and a life guard?  The paramedic is normal – but the lifeguard is optional.  I know I should have been a girl scout – I always prefer to be over prepared for whatever.  This week it came in handy.  I was photographing this beautiful family on a dock when their two year old decided to go for a swim.  He momentarily forgot that he could not swim – so in goes my lifeguard/assistant.  His cell phone was safe – so life is still good!

Mom and I agree that her two year old is cute even wet – don’t you think so?

I photographed mom and dad’s wedding and have photographed their guys since birth.  They have made lots of trips to Statesboro – but this was my chance to travel to them.  They have a beautiful new house and we were creating portraits – since obviously wall space is no longer a problem.

Thank goodness we had some great images before the adventure began.  Tyler – my assistant photographer did not think a second – before he was in the water.  Maybe I should relax the dress code for future outdoor sessions near water!  In 21 years – I must say this is the first time we have had to dive in after someone.  But we were prepared.  Chalk it up to yet another Lori Grice difference.
