One of my favorite movies is A League of Their Own. The drama, the story, and the time period always find a special place in my heart. Plus who doesn’t love women kicking butt playing a sport that only “men” should play? All and all this is a great movie. If you have not seen it you should!
Well, one thing I didn’t realize was that one of the fields used in the movie is actually here in the town I live in, Evansville Indiana. A short couple of days after moving here my husband was researching things to do in the area and found that Bosse Field was used as the Racine Belles home stadium. Most notable, the field was used in the final game between the Rockford Peaches and Racine Belles (sister vs sister).
Once I learned all this information I had dreamed of doing a theme photo shoot there. I didn’t share this with anyone, but kept the idea in my mind. Then a mom contacted me about wanting to do the same thing. She even had the Rockford Peaches outfit too. WHAT? Could this really happen? Plus I knew the daughter would be the perfect model for this shoot. I already had fun with her during her mini session earlier in the spring.
We connected with the people at Bosse Field and got it all lined up. On a Friday evening, we got to the field and it was just magical. The sun was just starting to set across the stadium, steaming in great lighting. Honestly, I had to just take a moment when I got on the field to take it all in. The whole shoot was a blast. I am happy that I was able to completed a dream!
See some photos from the session…
