Sweetwater Creek State Park

Sweetwater Creek State Park is, hands down, my favorite place to run.  The trails are somewhat technical, the water is gorgeous, the deer are brave, and the snakes like to come out to play!  Really, running the trails there is like being a little kid and going on an adventure.  It’s almost exciting enough to take your mind off the pain!  Every time I run there I think, “I want to get someone out here early in the morning to capture THIS… the grayness, the mist on the water, the sun just coming up, the puffs of breath in the air…”  This past Saturday, I just couldn’t stand it anymore, so I called my friend who has two beautiful daughters and asked if they would be up for braving the cold weather and going on a hike.  My friend, Scarlett Jimison, is an incredible artist (www.scarlettsart.com)… so of course she’s willing to do about anything for the sake of art!  So we packed up and headed out on the trails in 34F weather… and captured some magic!  As a photographer, sometimes it’s important to do a shoot just for you…. to feed your vision and strengthen your technique.  This shoot… it was for me!  And I’m so in love with every photo!  Enjoy!!!
