So I bet you are thinking…”why wait to squeeze in the “Once Upon a Summer” blog post right before Fall!” ;) I know, I know! You all may have been waiting since May or June, but trust me when I tell you, this shoot has literally been in the works since last year, probably around this time last year in fact!
What started out like any other shoot, became a massive project. And like any other massive project, we hit lots of bumps in the road. So many that some days, we didn’t think the shoot would ever happen or even if it should. I can’t even tell you how many times Laura and I met to plan or look at locations. Or how many hours we spent shopping for props. Or how long Laura’s husband spent building a spinning wheel. Or how Laura’s Aunt spent hours making tulle skirts for us. Or how the weather made us postpone, I think four times…see, I can’t even remember anymore. HA! :) I think you probably get the point though now.
So, as you can imagine, when the day finally arrived to do the first part of the shoot, we weren’t sure if we should be excited or worried that lightning would strike us! ;) Well, since I am here to write this, you’ll be happy to hear, no lightning strikes occurred and in fact, we couldn’t have had a more perfect shoot! Wait – now that I think about it, the police showing up on day two, probably wasn’t a perfect scenario, but at least we have a funny story to tell now. :D
Ok, ok, enough of that! I won’t keep you waiting any longer.
Let me introduce you to Kathryn Dickerson, or as we like to call her – Little Red Riding Hood.
Let’s join her as she makes her way to Grandmother’s house…
If you recall Grimm’s Fairy Tales, you may remember that Little Red was taking cake (we improvised with cupcakes) and wine to her grandmother. After she met the Wolf, he attempted to distract her by telling her to look at all the pretty flowers along the path.
and our Little Red is so tired from her journey that she decides to lay down for a nap.
What? Wouldn’t you do the same? ;) I mean, come on, it’s got to be tiring looking this cute while hiking through the woods and avoiding a Big Bad Wolf, right?!
and someone please tell me you noticed the “Big Bad Wolf” in these shots?! 
That’s all of our story of Little Red Riding Hood – be sure to come back for Cinderella and the Miller’s daughter from Rumpelstiltskin!
