6 degrees of Summer

You know that  thing where people can link somehow to Kevin Bacon…or something like that….well, I’m pretty sure I can trace a lot of my clients back to Summer Weaver.  This happens to be Summer’s  cute sister Tiffany and her darling kids!

Summer-Time with the Weavers

Summer Weaver is seriously one of my VERY best clients! She is one of those people that just advertises for you wherever she goes!  She is what the book Purple Cow calls a “Sneezer!”  Everyone needs one or two or three!!  

More Dancing Divas

More from my shoot with Ladera Ranch Dance Academy

Dance Dance Dance

I had a great time photographing the Ladera Ranch Dance studio in southern California.

Cutest girls and the most darling recital outfits!!

These two cousins just cracked me up!

…to preach and teach and work as missionaries do!

The  airport looked a little too familiar since I had just flown in earlier that day….exhausted from a week of shooting in California  (btw california peeps that post is up next;) I have to say I was dragging a bit getting myself back to the airport for a midnight shoot with my friends and long time clients the Dowdles.  Their son Ryan was returning from 2  years in Bolivia and they asked me to document the night for them.  What an honor! An event I couldn’t pass up… no matter how tired.  It’s funny how EXCITEMENT  can overrule EXHAUSTION.  I loved the feeling in the air and I flashed back to my own homecoming from Argentina 15 YEARS AGO!! Dang I’m old.  What a fun night.  The second I saw Ryan coming down the corridor I just lost it and started balling which isn’t a good thing when you are also trying to focus through your camera and your eyes are blurry!! Thank goodness for technology and  my little focal beeps I could trust;)Honestly…missions are cool and all but thinking about saying goodbye to my own THREE boys….not cool!  Here’s hoping that day comes REALLY slowly.
