Happy 5th of July!

Hope you had a blast yesterday celebrating our amazing country. 

We sure did!


And for your Friday, I give you a behind the scenes look at capturing the jumping look. 

First, I downloaded a self timer ap. Couldn't find one that allowed for multiple pictures, so you bet I was running back and forth to my phone between each and every shot. 

Commitment, folks. Commitment. 

Next, the most important part of a jumping shot. Figuring out when to dip down. Around this point in the process, you will probably end up with a picture like this:


And once you finally get the timing right, you will probably need to practice posing in the air a few times. Expect a few of these:


More then likely, you'll end up with a few where one of you never heard the beeping on the phone, and therefore, it looks like the one who did is leaping into (or attacking) the other:


But give it time, and eventually, you'll end up with one that's golden. 


Apparently, I like jumping on the 4th of July.

Happy 5th of July! From us, to you.
