Takin' the long Roed-ing

Under promise... over deliver.

Words to live by when running a business.

So when one reads our brochure and sees our five outfit session lasts three hours, it's a pretty safe bet to figure that we're gonna run longer than that.

That's how we roll. :)

So in comes Jenna on Wednesday with all her outfits and sports stuff and usually at the end of our brief consultation, I'll ask a question that i USUALLY already know the answer to.

That question?

"Do you have any deadlines of your own today? Have to be anywhere by a certain time?"

Almost without fail... the response?.... "Nope."

I ask it just IN CASE we have to show a little more hustle than we already do. But it's not an issue normally... because it's SENIOR PICTURE DAY, of course!

So when I asked the formality question at 8 a.m. to Jenna and Mama Lisa.... they looked at each other and then Lisa said...

"Well, if we could be on the road at 11:30, that would be great."

Uh oh.

Five outfits...... a female with long hair and make up to deal with in tropical heat and humidity? I smelled trouble... but I proceeded with an extra hop in my step.

Even so... 3 outfits in it was 10:30... and we were on location... and there was just an hour left and a regular outfit left in addition to sports and pricing talk.

I was hosed.

With my tail between my legs I asked the ladies... "how firm is that 11:30 thing?"

Then came the truth.

Hard to blame a gal... when it was THIS hot... but it came to the surface that Jenna and a few friends were running to Lost Island water park in Waterloo in the early afternoon to beat the heat.

Been there... awesome place... and tons of fun.

However... they underestimated their photographer's insane desire to max out their experience and quality of images.

I will apologize in retrospect to Jenna friends for making her late for the fun. But in the end... there's only one day for senior pictures... and I'm glad I did a little arm twisting to get what I wanted.

Hopefully the images you see are what you wanted. :)

Thanks for staying late with me.
