For those of you who think that being a professional photographer is a pretty kick back job, I have news for you. It's a highly dangerous business!
On my most recent session at a top secret location, we had just wrapped up with a series of shots and were heading over to the next backdrop when we came across this:
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is a rattlesnake, and my first encounter with one I might add. I could let you think I was crazy enough to walk up and get this close for a picture. And while it really was that close, this shot was taken from the safety of a car. Apparently we interrupted his nap in the warm afternoon sun as the car drove by, and off he went into the grass. The same grass we were just running through, crawling in, laying down on and sinking into.
Call me crazy, but that's a little too close for my comfort level.

yes, that was way too close for comfort! SCCCARRRRYYY!
CRAZY!!! oh that is my worst nightmare! glad you're safe!
o.m.g. not okay. that snake is HUGE.
Umm OK.. this is not good. I thought they liked the very dry areas. This looks like a nice somewhat lush area. Like many of the ones I take clients to.
At least tell us kind of where you were near without giving away your secret location.
Yikes..glad he did not peak out during the photos. That may make you think twice from now on.
They do like dry, warm areas. When we came across him, he was laying in the middle of a dirt road. They don't particularly like grass because it's colder, so when we was moving away, he was doing so very slowly. I don't think he was very happy with us...
YIKES!! I agree, too close for comfort! That gives me the creeps thinking that you were just rolling and walking in that grass before you saw him! I'm so glad you guys are ok!!
