I just have to thank the R family for being so cooperative in such high heat/humidity. It was incredibly steamy, and everyone, including the baby did such a wonderful job of hanging in there for our shoot. While this weather is typical in late summer, it is rather unusual for June. I'm so glad the kids could do so well!

When something improbably lucky happens, my dad will say that "someone must be living right." This afternoon I had a shoot scheduled, with some of the family coming from Flemington, and some from the Marlton area. I had been checking the weather forecast throughout the day, and it looked like the rain would hold off. Just as I knew they were leaving the house, the heavens let loose. Since it had been so hard to find a date that worked for everyone in this extended family, we decided to meet anyway, and maybe find a porch to shoot on. About 10 minutes before the family arrived, the weather cleared, and stayed clear enough for us to finish our shoot, then the clouds and rain were back again. After I met C, I realized she must be the one who is "living right." She was the one who arranged the shoot as a gift for her mother, and was as sweet and fun as could be.

This shoot had been a gift certificate that had been given as a Christmas present. I'm so glad the weather held out so we could fit it in. Even with REALLY high humidity, the girls hung in there for close to an hour and a half of shooting.

I love it when I have the opportunity to shoot a family in their own environment, and today I made a short jaunt out past New Hope to this beautiful stone house and grounds. The drive and farm reminded me again of how much I truly enjoy living in Bucks County. You could travel far and wide and not find a more scenic area. The portrait session had been a gift for the parents, and I was so glad we were able to squeeze it in while the whole family was together for the weekend.

Just a little sneak peek from my shoot at Washington Crossing Park tonight. I had to laugh when I pulled into the parking lot and found a family all dressed similarly - kind of makes them easy to pick out (when it's our first time meeting) as being the family ready for a photo shoot! The weather held out just long enough to squeeze in the shots I had hoped to do. The kids were great, especially since we ended up being there for close to an hour and a half. Mom and Dad weren't crazy about joining in, but I hope when they see their family shot they will be glad they did...
