Hwy. 5 Abandonded House II

Thanks for all the great comments on my photos yesterday. The house was pretty spectacular, but I really think I would have flipped if I had gone in alone and found all those handprints! Even though I liked the photos from yesterday, today's are a lot more my style. I somehow convinced Hannah to climb a tree in a dress which made for some of my favorite 'Hannah photos' ever. The girl is incredible... a photographers dream I tell ya!








On our way back towards Little Rock, Hannah spotted this couch in a field. I'm so glad she did because this is like my dream setting for photos, I've just never had a spare couch to abandon. We had to cross a big, muddy puddle full of giant tadpoles and walk through a thicket full of nasty thorns (that kept snagging my new dress) to get to it, but it was worth it. I just kept my dress high and let my slip catch the beating. A few bloody scratches on the knees and a single shoe lost in the mud (thanks for the rescue Hannah) was totally worth the memories we made!

I was real excited about these photos when Kent was taking them, but the white balance on his camera was off creating a heavy blue tint to the photos. I had to overwork them a bit in photoshop to get them looking decent, but I still really like the idea of the shot.



And one last special treat before we wrap up this abandoned house shoot...

I remembered to use the video camera when Hannah was trying to get out of the tree. She was stuck up there for a little bit, so when she finally made it down it was the funniest thing. Seriously, she's the most precious girl I know.

Back to the Hwy. 5 Abandoned House

Yesterday I got to have not one but two photo shoots with my friends, the first with Gracie and Amy (more on that this weekend) and the second with Kent and Hannah. I dressed myself and Hannah up like southern country girls and we headed out to that scary abandoned house I discovered last week but was too afraid to go into. It's funny, Hannah and Kent had both explored the place before but went back with me so I could see it for myself.

The place was incredible. There were hand prints everywhere and even a room with tons of drawings on the walls. We took so many great photos which means I'm gonna have to stretch this adventure out into two days on the blog. Today I'm going to show you the inside and tomorrow I'm going to show you the outside. Hopefully (if I can get it together), I'll show you a little snippet video of our behind the scenes laughs too. Anyway... hope you enjoy!
