A Little Emergency


Well, I know I've slacked on blogging, but I swear- I think I have a good reason. I broke my ankle.

It's okay. Well.. it could be worse. I wanted to wait to tell everyone on my blog so I could contact the brides it would impact. So the first question everyone asks is "So, how'd you do it?" Well, I was going for this really cool shot and balancing on one leg and I was really high up holding 2 cameras and I...... Okay- that's not true. None of it. The real story is really embarrassing and my brother in law told me not to tell anyone. First, you should all know in my family I am known as a walking disaster. I've always been clumsy. I always seem to hurt myself in the dumbest ways. My friends always wait because its always a matter of moments until my next injury.

Anyway- I was getting ready for Katie and Evan's wedding. My husband let our cat out and I was trying to get out the door to the wedding. I whistled for my cats (yes... they come running when I whistle). One of them showed up and then the other one decided to be a pain. I put on my shoes and walked around my building. I was about to walk down the grassy hill into the gully my cat hides and thought "I should take my shoes off so I don't slip." I took my shoes off and promptly slipped and snapped my ankle. I'll be fine. It's going to take 6 weeks to be perfect again. Now what kind of photographer would I be without a picture of it?? It's called a Spiral Fracture of t he Fibia. I broke my hip 6 years ago, and this hurts more in case you were wondering :)



So what happened to Katie and Evan's wedding on Saturday? Well, the wonderful and talented Todd Thamer http://www.thamerphotography.com/ stepped up and shot it. He was truly my hero. I don't know what I would have done had he not rescued me.
Needless to say I spent all of Saturday at Saints Medical Center.

The next question I get asked is "What happens to your upcoming brides?". Nothing. I've contacted all of them, and will have a second photographer as well as Seth with me to tug my bag along and carry cameras. I should be able to walk on it next week and thankfully I don't have any weddings this weekend. I am off to go hang out with Michelle Turner http://www.michelleturnerphotography.com while our husbands go hiking this weekend. Hiking was strictly prohibited by my doctor. I can't imagine why.

I'll try to post some pictures of my recent portrait session, but it's hard for me to post from the other computer when the network won't work. I am sitting on the couch in this position.
