So this past Saturday I had a photoshoot.... The planned destination was Marquette Park in Miller. I have taken pictures there before and it turned out really well.... As I arrived at the park that day I noticed everything fenced off and "under construction!" As you can imagine - not good for a planned photoshoot and a photographer who has limited days to work with. Anyways - I sat in my car and prayed because I honestly didn't know how this was going to turn out or what we were going to do! I called her before I did and she wanted to still walk the grounds - She hadn't quite gotten there yet so she wasn't seeing what I was! When she got there she wanted pictures on the beach, so we walked down, did those and then we decided to walk the park.
There was one building that we both had noticed on the way in - It was still under a bit of construction, with grass being grown and the inside was closed. As we approached we noticed some "caution- do not enter" tape and decided we would do exactly the opposite of that I guess... Breaking a rule probably isn't the best way to do something but - Well, we live and we learn. So we walk to the back of the building and it is BEAUTIFUL! There were stairs, the brick was beautiful, pillars in the front, a rock thing that I used as a backround in one of the pictures and beautiful bridges that went over some of the water areas. So of course we had a hayday! We went and walked all over, took our pictures and laughed a lot too! Her mom and grandma had gotten distracted with a phone call and were looking for us - this is where we ran into the security guard. He didn't yell at us for being back there just asked if there were people who could be looking for us! So they found us and then the model needed to do a change of clothes. I decided that since I was having such good luck? already that we should try the doors on the back of the building.... She tried three of them and none of them were open but of course the one I try - it's open... Score! She runs in and behold a bathroom right inside! Her grandma also goes in and decides to use the restroom and we all laughed because it didn't have a door. The only thing that struck me was the fact that I heard "beep.... beep..... beep..... beep....beep, beep, beep, beep, beeeeeeeeppppppppppp!!!" An alarm! Fantastic! The security guard comes rushing around the side and tells us we aren't supposed to be in there and of course we are yelling at the girl to hurry and come out- and apologizing....
We didn't get into any trouble - We finished up the shoot and had a blast doing so. We did the pillars in front and then walked back to the beach! When I left I noticed Gary Police cars at every enterance of that building - they weren't letting anyone back there again that's for sure....
I told my husband that the whole thing had to be orchestrated by God - because I don't have that great of luck. He wasn't so sure because there was some bend of the rule in there.... All I know is that it was by far the best photoshoot I've ever been on, the most fun and that it could've fallen apart but it didn't and I remember praying that it wouldn't.
Cool and God or not - Which I still believe it was - Was such a good time. Oh and to top it all off - I was able to tell the girl that I prayed about it because I honestly wasn't sure what was going to come of the day and that my prayer was indeed answer. Another win.
I typed this fast and am probably missing a few parts and there may be some misspelled words in there or whatever. Lol
