The Waiting Game

This is my beautiful sister-in-law that is officially due in about a week. We’re so impatient to meet this new little one and I can’t wait to do his newborn photos. She knew that she wanted to do the “bump” sign photo and we went on a search. There were a couple to work with but all of them were in places that didn’t have the best backgrounds. A certain other someone (you know who you are…ha) suggested “borrowing” it. I gave her a sarcastic answer about me going and “borrowing” it because it’s in plain view where everyone would see me and this over-sized sign. I can just see that. It’s huge and wouldn’t fit in my vehicle. So what then? Tie it to the top? Can’t you just picture this? Then she said that we could “borrow” it during the night. I could picture the headlines: “Local Photographer Caught Stealing a Road Sign”…claiming that it is for a photo session. So, I asked her the most important question. Would she bail me out when I called her in the middle of the night?! I’m pretty sure she was joking about the whole thing (or maybe half joking) but she did say that she’d bail me out. That’s reassuring;) Anyways, we went with the safer route and just rearranged the sign. We did get a lot of strange looks but hey you do what you’ve gotta do to get the shot!
