sunflowers {not}

all summer i’ve been looking forward to a family session that was to include a garden of sunflowers and children.
‘all summer’ i’ve been so excited about this session. in my mind i saw theee day, theee little faces peeping out from the
the sunflowers, heard theee laughter, saw theee finished images….i couldn’t wait!
then…a change in plans. it didn’t happen. that simple. majorly majorly bummed!
of course i was starting to see the fruits of other sessions amongst the sunflowers – as it should be at this time of the year.
one of which was my friend jessica’s whose beautiful shots i saw on her awesome blog, inspired me even more.  when she shared
the location with me, i picked myself up and thought, i’ll take ‘my’ girls out and do a session with them! yeah!
i already had the title. {sunflower girls}. yes! in fact, then jess and i were talking about meeting there with all our girls!!!
cool! happy and excited again!

so, yesterday, sb and i went up to columbus to pick up gabriella and sophia from the airport and on the way back home thought,
‘why don’t we stop by and check out the sunflower field’ as jess told me the day before they might not make it to the following weekend
as we were planning. well, 2 very cranky, tired girlies, one HOT day, one husband trying desperately to find the sunflowers for his wife
who insisted they had to be ‘here’….right here on this corner. a corner that all we saw was…..a field. an empty field.
well, they ‘were’ there. and just to prove it, he parked, got out and picked one up off the ground to show me….
and my head went down, wayyyy down.

too late. ;(

i am so there next year!
