    Personal Post – First Day of School

    Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

    Well, summer vacation has come to an end in these parts and the kids headed back to school this morning.   I, on the other hand, took a vacation day so that I could have the house all to myself!

    First Day!

    Gabbie – Senior Class of 2011

    Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

    Gabbie called me up earlier this summer to take her Senior Pictures.   She was referred to me by my September Bride Carli!  I love referrals!  Thanks Carli!

    We decided to meet up at a local park for our first location and then head into Downtown Willoughby.  We also talked about what sort of things Gabbie likes to do – sports, tennis….and then the bomb…snowboarding!  It’s August!  How am I supposed to shoot snowboarding?  I came up with some cool, commercial shoot type ideas, but nothing we couldn’t pull off without a crew.  I told her not to worry about it because we had some time before the shoot and I’d get it figured out.

    Well, the night of the shoot arrived and I still hadn’t figured it out.  Since it was hot and humid, we decided to shoot snowboarding last since she was going to put on some of her gear and I didn’t want to start the shoot off with her getting too hot.   By the time we got to snowboard, the sky was cooperating and a little rain had left the parking lot nice and shiny.  It was dark enough that anything but her the sky would be lit up with flash or the setting sun – a perfect way to hide the green of summer.  I think we pulled off August snowboarding pretty well!

    Something to Chew On

    Something to Chew On

    This post has nothing to do with that picture, other than I want to give you something to chew on and think about.

    The senior class of 2010 is already counting the days to graduation, but the seniors of 2011 still have a lot to think about. One of those things is probably their Senior Portraits. I’m looking for a gentleman and lady from Eastlake North and Will… Willl… hmmm.. I went to Eastlake North so saying Willoughby South is like talking about the state up north. ;) In fact, I’ll work with any local senior and any local school!

    What do I want from the lucky gentleman and lady. I want them to be my reps and refer their friends to LoC for Senior Portraits. That’s all. I’ll take their picture, give them some rep cards and depending on how many friends they send my way they will get discounts on their portrait session with me. Heck, they refer enough people, they might even get their own session for free.

    If you’re interested, then drop me a line – phone or email and we can set something up.

    Hockey Night

    Seniors

    Eleven Seniors took the ice last night for their last home game at Benedictine High School.   They played their hearts out and spent a frantic last minute trying to tie the game up, but unfortunately they ended up on the short end of the score by one goal.

    Skate

    The guys had a great season and still have a couple of games left to finish out the year. Hopefully, they’ll play those games as well as this one and when the buzzer sounds they will be on the winning side. It was great to watch them skate last night!

    Award Winner

    So it turns out my six year old just might be a better photographer than I am. At least according to her trophy case. Paige came home yesterday with two awards for her photographs in the local PTI Art Show. Her pictures now move on to larger contest and if they keep winning, I think they eventually get to a state competition.

    Way to go Paige!

    Here are her winning images.
