I'd like to check you for ticks

After rescheduling about 50 times since October, we finally had our engagement session with Nikki last night. We had a lot of fun at the shoot, minus the 3 ticks Lenny found crawling on his jeans. Eeeeuh - just thinking about that gives me the heebie jeebies. If you know me at all, you know ticks are one of my biggest nemeses. Ugh. Any animal that tries to suck blood out of you is just vile (this includes leeches too). I would rather face a million spiders than a handful of ticks. Anyway, we did a lot of pics in the grass and in fields, so it was kind of to be expected. I did okay during the shoot, but had a mild coronary when I got home and found a tick burrowed into my back. Luckily it must not have been there very long, cuz Lenny got it out with no trouble. Oh what people do for some good pics, eh? :)

One of the funniest parts of the shoot was when we were in the vineyards at Chandler Hill Winery, and Nikki had instructed Lenny and I to kiss while she was standing on a chair, shooting from above. All of a sudden she screamed, "AHHHHHH!" I thought she was yelling b/c our make out session was so hot, so I got into it a lil more. When we finally opened our eyes, we realized she was yelling b/c the chair she was standing on had sunken down into the ground and she was about to fall over. lol

Here is a sneak peek from our shoot - more to come soon on Nikki's blog. Make sure to check it out! Nicole Welch Photography
