So Long Summer

Well, it’s the eve of my first day student teaching and I’m a bundle of miscellaneous emotions…I’m a little nervous, crazy excited and sad that summer is coming to a close. I’m happy to report, however, that my last week of summer was pretty fantastic. Last Saturday I went to a bachelorette party for a very good friend and I spent a good part of last week with my mom and one of my aunts. They came with me when I went out to photograph some new horses at HAHS on Tuesday (pictures to come soon). On Wednesday we visited the Chicago Botanic Gardens and Friday we did some shopping and had some lunch. Yesterday I did another fun photo shoot with makeup artist Molly Krause. The models were all delightful and great to work with. So it was a good day filled with laughter and beautiful image making. And it was also totally exhausting. So after this post I’m headed of to bed to catch some quality sleep before my big day tomorrow! Stay tuned for pictures from HAHS and the pictures from our photo shoot. Both should be up sometime later in the week.

And now I have a few images to share from the past week…

Mr. Phineas McGee...Looking slightly pathetic.

Phinney and Pi patrolling the yard...

...Phinney doesn't seem particularly happy about it.

And a couple images from the Botanic Gardens…
