Summer!!!!

Yup, finally!!! After spending 90% of the summer complaining that it is too cold, too rainy and not hot at all - we finally are getting a dose of the 3 H's - hazy, hot and humid!

I don't mind at all. We get about 9 months of cold and almost that many months with snow, so a few weeks of stifling heat is kinda nice.

Especially since we FINALLY were able to get in our pool and really enjoy it. Christina and her cousins took turns jumping in the pool for about 6 solid hours on Sunday. No wonder she is such a skinny minny - she never ever stops!

My husband also organized the first annual "swim the lake" at a small local lake. He got about 20 swimmers to swim about 1.25 miles across the lake. It isn't a huge distance, but it was nice event and he got some good press for the swim team and the local park where the swim took place.

My girls and I watched from the shore. What a beautiful evening.

In other events, my girls have been busy filling our driveway with chalk outlines. It looks somewhat like the scene of a grisly murder.

Although the funniest aspect of this "murder scene" is the fact that it appear our dear Ariel may be a victim!!

Other than that, I have been busy with senior photos and a few family shoots. Last week was actually a really bad week for photos. For the first time, I was completely stood up by 2 clients in a row.

The first never called even after I left a message to confirm the shoot. She is a friend of a friend, and we know her well, and she is actually a really nice and sweet lady, but it still irked me quite a bit. Especially when she acknowledged she got my message but kept forgetting to call me back. But she has rescheduled and I doubt she will leave me hanging again.

The second client also didn't return my call to confirm, but I was able to catch her at work the next day. She claimed she "forgot" and will have to reschedule sometime. Hmmmmm...I am not holding my breath.

But this week is much better. I had another awesome shoot today with a gorgeous senior girl (my previous senior was gorgeous as well! I am so lucky!!).

And I have a 2 day shoot later in the week with a senior girl who apparently wants so many locations, that she thinks we need to break it up into 2 days. On Thursday evening I will be doing her session in town and then moving up her gorgeous home on the hill to (hopefully) get some amazing sunset photos. Then, Friday morning, we are off to our local waterfall for another shoot!!

Well, that is it for now! Have a good one!
