One thing I really like about summer is a summer thunderstorm. The non-destructive kind, of course. Even better is when a shield of several hours of steady rain showers follow. I took these shots of an approaching storm yesterday. It was preceeded by a rather ominous-looking gust front.
A random shot of Aaron as we were hanging out on the front porch watching the rain fall:
My apologies for the lack of blog entries over the past couple of weeks. I still have some client orders to complete, and the last few of Jason and Shelly’s wedding photos to edit. After that, I fully expect to be back to regular blogging!
The boys have recently been on a Napoleon Dynamite kick. They’ve watched it three times just this week. I have to admit to sitting down and watching it along with them because, well…it’s just flipping funny everytime!
So anyway, earlier this evening the neighbor boy and his friend (high school age boys) were next door in the driveway playing basketball. Corey mentions how the friend looks like Napoleon Dynamite (which he totally did…glasses and curly hair). Trevor thought this was funny, so Corey figured it a good idea to tell Trevor NOT to go over there and say anything about the Napoleon Dynamite comment (Trevor is always hanging around Andrew and his friends when they are outside).
Fast forward about 10 minutes. The boys and I are climbing in the car to go run some errands and Trevor says, “Hey Mom! I just asked Andrew’s friend if he was Napoleon Dynamite!” Me: “I hope you’re joking.” Trevor: “No! I really asked him! He said he’s not!” All I could do was let out my usual ‘what will this kid do to embarass me next’ sigh and begin to back out of the driveway. As I catch sight of Andrew and his friend still shooting hoops next door, I immediately notice that his friend’s previously curly hair was now flattened to his head! Coincidence?!? I think not!!!
I just got us the heck outta there as fast as I could before I died of utter embarassment. KIDS!!!!!
Here’s a preview from another session that was rescheduled due to the crazy, rainy May weather! It was worth the wait, though, because the day of the shoot was gorgeous and perfect for a photo shoot. The “B” family was a lot of fun to work with, and we got lots of exercise as we walked the campus at Dickinson College!
The twins made the cutest facial expressions:
This is one of my favorite shots of them having a good time together!
No doubt you’ve been told more than once to stop and smell the roses, right? Well don’t forget to stop and hang in a tree every once in awhile, too! It could be fun!
This was one of a handful of sessions that had to be rescheduled due to the extended period of rainy weather we experienced throughout of the month of May. Little A and J were total cuties and the whole family was a joy to work with!
…and how do you know when the session is done?!? 
The end!
