So it rained on their engagement shoot day and beach pictures were really important to them we got together just about a week ago to hit the sand. The sunset still didn’t cooperate with us, but it was nice enough to stroll in the water and let Maverick play in the sand!
I’m sure you’ve all seen the west harbor lighthouse that guarding the mouth of the Cuyahoga near Whiskey Island. It’s been in the paper, even made MSNBC. Still, I had to go myself and get a shot of it. Landscapes like this don’t come around often and they tend to be different everyday – especially during the winter.
This was also my first visit to Whiskey Island. What a great location. This is such a great place for a portrait session – Senior Photos, Engagement, Wedding. Can’t wait to get back there again!
Actually, I wonder what I was thinking heading out to the beach with wind chills that had to be in the single digits if not lower. Of course, the guy that was windsurfing one up’ed me in the dedication department.
Like the video said, I made it to the lighthouse without freezing to death.
The most interesting find of the day was this dried up bouquet of roses along the lighthouse breakwall. If anybody knows the story please leave it in the comments or email it to me. If you don’t know the story, make up what you think it might be all about! 
Then in the car and off to Mentor Lagoons for a quick walk. It was my first time there and I’m glad my good friend Andi (also crazy enough to make this trip with me) introduced me to the place.
Let me know what you think of the video. I’m planning on including them more with the posts this year.

I woke up to single digit temperature and 3″ of fresh snow with more on the way. Perfect weather to head to the beach.
A lonely snow fence guarding the beach from…well…from drifts, but I have no idea why that would matter.
Somewhere past the end of the fence is the lake, but we never saw it until we got down by the lighthouse.
