Family Photo Session - Home for the Holiday
I shared part of my Independence Day holiday weekend with a fun loving family with beautiful character. Many members of the family had traveled in from different states for this family reunion. The day was hot and humid, but everyone braved the elements for a bit of fun in a nearby park - to capture the celebration of an anniversary and their love for one another! There was lots of laughs, hugs, and JOKES! The Grows were a great group to work with and we created some beautiful images because of that. Getting to know each individual of the family was a blessing, for they are truly wonderful people. I found myself reminiscing about my family (about 450 miles away in Ohio) on my way home from the shoot - and thinking- it sure is worth a long drive for those loving hugs and smiles! I want to thank the Grow family, for making my 4th of July weekend a special one.

God Bless America!
What a fun, busy, relaxing, and hot weekend I had! I was able to spend the whole weekend with my husband and our wonderful friends, Kelley and Josh. The weekend was full of yummy food and desserts, as well as lots of laughs. We enjoyed the Independence Day celebrations in Leesburg. Joe and I had to use this as an opportunity to get creative of course! Here are a few of my photographs : a bit of fun with some abstracts!

Family Pictures with the Coe's!
What a wonderful situation - I got to see my best friend and her growing family AND I got to take their photographs! I know how important it is for families to have their family pictures taken. To this very day I love going through the old pictures my mom has of us when we were children. There is a special place in my heart for the Coe family. I look forward to every visit with them, for the girls grow up so quickly, and time passes with so much to catch up on. We had a fun time at the park, the girls played on the swings, slides, and even learned how to blow bubbles! That was an experience! Kids sure are full of energy -I don't think I can count one time when the girls sat still :) I had a blast and can't wait to see the Coe's on my next visit to Ohio!

Blast of Color!
Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to continue my education through Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and Great Lakes Institute of Photography (GLIP). I met so many wonderful artists - all teachers in my eyes - for I learned A LOT in only 4 days. I finally felt a sense of belonging as an artist, that I haven't felt since my photo darkroom days at BGSU. It was sad to leave, but I am so thankful for the photographers who develop, teach, and attend these programs. I will definitely see you there next year!
On one of our outings to Downtown Ann Arbor, MI - we had some time to kill while waiting for our model. Downtown, there is a 'graffiti hall' - graffiti artists paint all over the walls until their heart is content. I'm not sure if this is supported by everyone in the community - but it seems to be quite a popular place. Another interesting tid bit - in the 'graffiti hall' there is a 'gum wall'. Passers by add their chewed gum to the wall and it becomes part of the art - painted over and over and over again - creating a whole new texture to the brick wall itself. Some might consider it gross - others might consider it sculpture!
Here are several photos I took while visiting Ann Arbor.

better late than never
I've still been working on the photos from Crozet. Here are a couple "still life" peices. I love the purple and blues in the first one. The second one, I've always like the way textured rope looks when tied in knots - so much movement for the eye to follow. Enjoy!

Double success!
The art show and graduation both went so well! Graduation: No rain, well behaved students, no trips, and lots of smiles. Art show: threat of rain--only a few sprinkles, art work sold, smiling faces, and I met some new artist friends! No better way to finish up the evening than by eating sushi and Thai food with some close friends. It was a long day, but a great day. Thanks to all who stopped by!
