This will be a session that I won't soon forget.  We decided to meet downtown at The Lexington Cemetery for this session which proved to be absolutely beautiful this time of year.  The trees were still holding some of their autumn leaves and the sun highlighted their color.  It was a great location and provided ample backdrops for photos.  

Unfortunately, nearly as soon as we began, I had the oldest boy sit on a tree stump to pose.  I got one shot and noticed what I thought were gnats around him while looking through the camera.  The sun was at an angle and all I could see was the black shadows flying around.  We all realized very quickly that it was actually a swarm of bees!  Apparently I had chosen the log with the bee hive underneath it for a prop.  He only got stung once (thank goodness),shook it off after a little time, and came back to finish strong  - what a trooper!  Seriously, he did great the rest of the morning and the smiles returned by the time we finished.  

The lesson for me?  Always kick those stumps a little before having someone sit down - just in case.  All that being said, it was also memorable because the photos turned out great, which is the kind of memory that's desired.  Here's are a few of my favorites from the session :
