this session started out very interesting.
i was chatting along with Demi and her mom while pulling out my camera equipment...
and i DROPPED MY LENS. yeah. hard. on the hard-wood floor.
i watched what seemed like slow motion as the lens smashed to the floor and glass went flying.
i almost got sick to my stomach. :o(
BUT. the session must go on, so I grabbed the lens, cleaned up the glass and put it away.
I couldn't even look at the lens at the time, I was so upset.
So we had an amazing session together. Lots of fun. :o)
Demi just wanted to get a few photos to choose from for the yearbook quick and we are going to hold a longer session this spring/summer when the weather warms up.
So we finished the session and I called Robbie.
"You aren't going to believe this, but I dropped and shattered a lens."
I came home and started uploading the photos from the session to our computer.
Robbie came home shortly after me and teased me about the lens dropping situation.
At that time, I still had not pulled the lens out to examine the damage.
So Robbie pulled the lens out and he started laughing.
The lens didn't break....
the filter we had on the lens broke.
The lens was perfectly fine. :o)
Here are some photos I took of the broken filter with the lens that I thought I had shattered...
that was a close one.
Thank you Demi! I can't wait for our outdoor session!
:o) A
wow, the pictures look great and that must be a kind of a girl. she is wearing barely any socks at that weather. wasn't she freezing?
funny with the filter. how good you had one on your lens.

Lovely photos!!! Awesome!
Glad your lens is okay...jeeez that would have been scary! My filter broke too, except I don't even remember dropping it and when I explained this in the store (while buying a new one) they said maybe it was really really cold outside...but it broke while I was in Australia ...during their summer haha.
Anyway gorgeeee photos!
