Whether the Weather Cooperates

Well, I thought today was going to be a gorgeous day to take some family photos for some friends who have been wanting to get family photos taken for awhile now.  Unfortunately the weather had other ideas.

An hour before it was time for photos it started raining cats and dogs and thundering and lightning.  Photo session has now been rescheduled for a more, dryer date. 

It's gotten prettier since then, it's still a little on the gray side here and there, but the sun is out, and there's a gusty breeze blowing, and the temps are even nice.  However, it's going to be a bit muddy and soggy out.  We didn't think it was a great idea to have 3 young ones out for family pictures when it's all muddy, so we've opted for a dryer day.


However, I will share some photos from the last time we played at the park!
 
 
 
 

We all know that recently there have been some nasty storms out and about, thankfully our weather was never severe, but I did snag a few amazing photos of the sky (and a rainbow)!
We were at the park when the storm clouds started rolling in.
I snapped this photo of my son Marshall on the dock
over looking the lake watching the storm clouds
rolling in.  We came home shortly after
this picture was taken to beat the icky weather.
 
The sky was gorgeous after the storm! This photo
is unedited other than being cropped down a bit
and my water mark being added to it.

added and being cropped down a bit
 
I did do a little editing to help the rainbow be seen
a little bit better, but other wise, just cropped
it down a smidgen and added the water mark.
 
It was eerie, the sky literally looked
like it was on fire, not edited other than being
cropped down a bit and water mark being added.

My children just celebrated their last day of preschool on Thursday, so proud of them! My daughter even managed to lose her second baby tooth on the last day of preschool.  What a way to end the year!
 

Recently I rescued/briefly fostered a little yorkie named Chico.  Poor guy, I helplessly watched him get bounced around from home to home before I was FINALLY able to get someone to listen and just bring him to me.  He is now in a FANTABULOUS foster home that totally spoils him.  He's getting along great and will be neutered and get all of his shots before going on to a FUR EVER home.  A quick photo that was taken of him just moments after I got him and was waiting on my friend to come pick him up.  He has since been groomed, I need to get ahold of him again for some new pictures to help him get adopted.

Volunteering with the animal shelter I often get to go on transports, and they are always so much fun.  I ride with a hilarious group of ladies that always keep me laughing.  I love catching random photos of them.

This weekend is my 10 year high school reunion.  I will not be able to attend, so in the spirit of things, sharing a couple of photos from my senior year in high school.

Some Photo Sessions!

It's finally been getting warm, I think the weather may have finally gotten on track, but we shall see! Who knows we might still end up with a snow storm in July.

We have been enjoying the park every chance we get.  Generally when I get off work we've been heading straight to the park. The kids are loving it.  Makes for some fun photo oppurtunities as well.






Trying to get my work schedule to be somewhat normal so I know when I can schedule photo sessions. Been itching to get a client in front of me, and I just haven't been able to!

However, before Mother's day I did have miss Jade over for a session, and before that my niece Faith was here for a session.  Those girls are getting big, and oh so adorably sweet!













My little sister also had her high school graduation a week ago! She's now officially 18 and a high school graduate, look out world here she comes! She asked for a fun Dr. Who themed birthday photo shoot, we had to make it quick due to a time crunch, but we managed to squeeze in a few pics, can't wait till later this summer and hopefully we can finish that thought!
