Ahhh…it’s been a while.  Back to this.  At least for this week.  😉

1.  It is SUMMER!!  The first day of summer is officially today.  At least I think.  I didn’t pay too much attention to that stuff when I was in school.  Either way I am excited.  Beautiful weather, possibly temperatures NOT dipping back into the 50’s requiring us to do shoots with warm clothes instead of cute summer looks…  Summer.  It’s here and I am so glad to be back outside.

2.  On that note Daily Tea is having a great sale right now on summer dresses if you need some ideas for little girls. Think how cute these would be in pictures!!  I must try to resist….  I love the bright colors and patterns for photos.

3.  And on THAT note, there is a summer calendar update coming up after this post. So if you want to book a session this summer you will definitely want to read that.

4.  I am starting to think ahead to fall sessions.  Yep.  It’s already that time.  We photographers are kind of like clothing stores – we are always planning and thinking ahead to the next season.  I know, it’s crazy to even consider putting on jeans and sweaters or getting photos for holiday cards…I know, really.  But this is when we start shopping for holiday card templates and planning holiday mini sessions, etc.  This year I think I am going to be going to the great state of NY for some sessions if I can arrange it with this one family…

5.  Kind of a big one – we are MOVING!!!  Just about 25 minutes north of where we are now so it won’t affect my business.  But still.  We are moving!  Finally after all these years of my husband’s medical training we are in a place to settle down and stay a while (at least we plan to!) and are buying our first house.  Craziness – we are actually becoming real adults.  Home ownership.  Scary.  It’s happening in early August so I will be unavailable the first part of the month (again, see details in the calendar update post)

And since it WAS just Father’s Day weekend, I am cheating for the last five and posting my top 5 favorite daddy shots from this year so far (in no particular order):
