VACATION!

Heading out today for a much needed rest and relaxation. I will be returning phone calls and emails on Saturday when I get back. Hope everyone has a great week!

Katy {2011 Senior Sneak Peek}

I knew Sunday was going to be a washout, I'm so glad we were able to get this one in Saturday. It was great meeting both of you! I wanted to get a few up before I leave for Maine, so here's a few to hold you over until I can get your full gallery up.

Kari {2011 Senior Sneak Peek}

I have really been blessed with meeting such great Mom/Daughter duos and this session was no exception. Short of losing a pint of blood with the mosquitos, I had a great time working with both of you! I wanted to get a sneak peek up before I left, so here it is :)

Richie {2011 Senior Sneak Peek}

I had my good friend help me with this session because I was short on help. Luckily she knows Richie pretty well so he didn't feel completely uncomfortable. I can only imagine what he was thinking when his mom sent him off with the two of us....LOL! I laugh every time I think about the different stuff we said to him and what her and I talked about. Poor thing. Although mom did say he had a good time. We tried to make him as comfortable as possible and we laughed quite a bit. Plus we talked a little baseball (Yankees of course) and basketball. As you can see he's wearing a Duke jersey...yours truly picked Duke to win on her bracket :) Here's a few to hold you over until I get your full gallery up.

Robin {2011 Senior Sneak Peek}

Met another great Mother/Daughter duo. Loved that Robin brought dresses and heels, it was a nice change. Robin made my job so easy, she was a natural! Thank you so much Nancy for helping with the reflector, you did great. It was great working with the two of you. I'll have your full gallery up in another day or so.

Alex {2011 Senior Sneak Peek}

Can you say bokeh! Wow, such a great location! Had a great time working with Alex and her parents. I LOVE when the moms get involved and enjoy the shoot as much as I do. We were just starting to warm up and then got cut off. I left feeling like there was so much more we could have done, but unfortunately it didn't work out that way for us. Oh well, I was happy with what we did get. Alex you are such a beautiful girl and yah, mom should consider those contacts cause you have beautiful eyes. Yah, trying to help ya out a little there LOL! ;)

Brittney {2011 Senior Sneak Peek}

After a few phone conversations with Brittney's mom, we got all the details of her session set. The morning of her session we were meeting at a mutual spot so they could follow me to our first location. Brittney and her mom pull up and both mom and I look at each other like, OMG! Neither one of us had any idea we knew each other, LOL. Brittney's mom was my daughter's third grade teacher! Brittney was so prepared for this session! She read my helpful hints ;) She had all her clothes on hangers with any accessories she wanted to use in baggies attached to the hangers. I also loved that she had a different pair of shoes for each outfit too! Here's your sneak peek Brittney!

Tim {2011 Senior Sneak Peek}

I was worried we weren't going to get this session in with the weather and was hoping they weren't going to be making the trip for nothing. Luck was on our side and we ended up getting some decent weather. Nice people! Tim was extremely helpful carrying my equipment, which can get pretty heavy. I had asked Tim why he didn't want to do any football shots. Sadly it's because he's not going to be playing his senior year. I mean we can always use big guys like him to help out. But life gets in the way and jobs are how you make money. My advice to all the kids is you will have your whole life to work, be a kid and play that last year. Unfortunately, that doesn't get you the things you want and need. Nearing the end of his session, his mom complimented him on how well he was doing and I agreed. That's when he told us it was because he wanted to make my job easy for me, which I was really impressed with! Nowadays, unfortunately you don't hear that too much. Tim, you did make my job easy for me and thank you!
