Tardy for the party

I had an amazing session at the Dallas Arboretum a week ago. But to be honest, it could have gone another way. Long story short...I was late. I could tell you that there were several good reasons why, but none of them really matter. Being tardy for the party is really only a good thing in a song, and even that is subject to individual taste.
Some of you might be asking, "why is she sharing this absolutely horrendous blunder with the web." I guess it's because we all have blunders from time to time. The better question is, "how do we handle those blunders?"  Should I have gone to the session totally distraught or should I have rocked it out and given my clients the best possible experience?
I've included a few photos from the session below. You be the judge. How did I do?
