Hey everybody! I hope your summer is treating you well. Landon and I have been dealing with some personal tragedies lately (a death of one of my best friends, the divorce of Landon’s parents), so I hope you’ll excuse my lack of news here on the blog.

Things seem to be smoothing out, though- and I have a lot to share! As I type this, Landon and I are up in Marquette, Mi, where later today I’ll be shooting the engagement session of Tim and Allison. It’s a little intimidating planning a shoot in a place I’m not familiar with- but to be honest, it’s so beautiful here I guess I shouldn’t be worried. I’m having lots of time to read, relax, work on projects, and beat Landon at cards!

A few weeks ago, Landon and I went with my younger brother and sister, as well as a few friends, to Lake Michigan, near Ludington. What a gorgeous day! It was hot, but the cool breeze off the lake made it comfortable. Too comfortable, in fact… I didn’t realize that I was burning the back of my legs to a crisp! …anyway, here’s a few photographs from the day.

My sister, Alexis, is used to my picture taking by now, so at first all I get is an indifferent look… but soon we were conspiring to get Sam in the photograph as well… when Sam was hiding behind her, Alexis would duck on cue…

Then apparently Sam decided it wasn’t worth the fight, and… did some sort of… dance… for the camera…yeah.

And this is his old man imitation. XD

My boys- hubby and ‘lil brother. <3

Alexis decided to get buried in the sand!

Our buddy, Dave.

Kate Cosgrove is one of Landon’s favorite artists, and a Lansing resident. She loves it when people take photographs of them with her art, so we were happy to oblige! You can check out her site here!

I was trying so hard to catch some video of Dave singing to his tape player, but sadly I kept missing it. You’ll have to settle for this photo instead.

And a few shots of the beautiful view from Lake Michigan’s shore..

 

 

We had a great time, and I hope we get to go again this summer. See you later!
