Some outfits are lost in translation, especially when it's a rainy day and you have to take your pictures inside and a wet dog decides to shake out her fur on you as soon as she comes in and you chase her down with a towel and she heads into the dining room but as soon as the camera starts going she decides to run into the picture and a four year old runs after her and a light bulb blows as a flash goes off and... well there's always a story behind a photo shoot and this morning's shoot was harried, ridiculous, and honestly these were the very best photos where I didn't have a completely exasperated face, a bit of a blonde tail or a blondish-brownish head or a mud puddle.
