Middle of Nowhere Modeling

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to spend some time on a farm with an incredible family out in the middle of nowhere in Missouri! I had no Internet, no cell phone service, nothing – and it was beautiful!

Megan & I even got lost for 1.5 hours on nothing but red dirt roads – one farm after the next. I absolutely love the countryside, the people, the music, & everything it represents. We headed out there for the Skyline Picnic. They had live bluegrass music playing, a cakewalk, and this huge watermelon:
