Oh my. It’s been two weeks since I last blogged! Shame. On. Me. I have been doing my best to blog every few days but these last two weeks flew right on by. I traveled home to Virginia the last week of September and enjoyed time with family and friends in my hometown. My Dad does not have the Internet so all I had was my Blackberry connection. It actually felt nice to take a break from the computer! :) While I was home I shot 4 mini-sessions, two lifestyle portrait sessions, and attended Southwest Virginia’s first photographer’s luncheon that was started by my friend Brad Lovell. He loved the idea of networking like we do here with the Columbus photographer’s and decided to start one back home. I was excited to be able to attend their first lunch. I also visited my Mom in Abingdon and we did a little antique shopping. I managed to pickup this little gem, a No. 1A Pocket Kodak vintage camera for $20. It no longer works but will make a great addition to my office decor!
After filling up on home-cooked meals and fellowship with some of my favorite people for almost a week I drove up to Blacksburg to visit with my brother and his fiance. We picked Tim up at the Roanoke airport super late on October 1st and we were blessed to spend some time with them as well. The next morning it was off to Lexington for Tim’s Class of ’04 Virginia Military Institute five year reunion. I’m still in shock that he graduated from college five years ago and that it will be five for me from Virginia Tech next year! We reconnected with old friends and missed those who were unable to attend due to deployments or work conflicts. So much as changed since we were in college. It’s amazing to see all the new construction and developments at our alma maters over the last few years.
Now we’re back home and praying for the weather to turn cooler in here Georgia like it was in Virginia. I miss normal seasons…at this rate we’ll still be wearing shorts and flip-flops in December! I had a fun senior shoot Tuesday and on Wednesday Tim and I had our photos taken by our good friend John Pyle. It was very different being on the other side of the camera. It definitely made me realize again how my clients feel and how anxious they get waiting on their photos. :) We cannot wait to see what John captured of us!
And because no post is complete without a picture….here is a quick shot I grabbed of the Powell Valley Overlook back home the day I left. This was taken around 11:30am…not my ideal time to shoot, but hey I wanted at least one picture of it before Winter sets in! :)
