Out of the office…

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be out of the office (and town) for the next two weeks. If you need to get a hold of me, I will have access to my email. If I find some time, I will try to post a few photos and share what I’m up to. Tomorrow morning I am flying to San Diego and will spend some time with my mom and then my sisters and brother will join us. With the cooler and wet weather here, I’m REALLY hoping for some sunshine and warmer temperatures…to be able to not have to wear a sweatshirt to stay warm would be a real treat!! While down there, I have a session booked as well as a wedding…and then I’ll drive home with my mom and brother…so we’re hoping to take in a few sights on the way…and hoping we don’t encounter any weather that would slow us down!
It’ll be May when I’m back and if you want to book a session, get your dates scheduled soon, before the calendar is full. Also, any orders that come in before I return will have to wait until I’m back home…so please be patient.
Until next time…

Jump ~ Jump ~ Jump ~ Jump

A rather blustery day around here…lots of rain and the winds are expected to be rather strong…so why not work inside! I couldn’t resist putting a few photos together from earlier this week when my granddaughter was here…she is delightful and so full of life, it’s amazing to see what a great spirit such a young person can have!  ENJOY!

Mininger Family ~ Buckley Family/Senior Portraits

Well, the crazy and more typical weather of spring around here tried to cause us to reschedule this session, but fortunately, we bumped it up a couple of hours and so this past Sunday afternoon, I had the pleasure of meeting the Mininger family. Mom, Mischelle, had contacted me about family photos and senior photos for her son, Aaron. As we began our session, it was overcast, some mixed clouds and the sun seemed to peek out occasionally, but by the end, the rain and winds were knocking at the door, but we finished and didn’t let a few raindrops deter us from wrapping up the session.

The family are avid and accomplished ATV riders (D.A.M. Racing) and so part of the session involved this along with some of the awards that dad, Dale, and son, Alex have won. It was obvious during the session that they are very passionate about their sport and when I asked if they would like to share anything for this entry, Dale and Mischele sent the following:

D.A.M. Racing our Sponsors keep us moving! S & S Motorsports gives us that extra horsepower to win those hole shots. HMF for the great exhaust system it keeps the decibles down & the animals in the woods happy. Maxxis tires for all those traction needs. Everyone knows we would go no where without being able to see & that is what are Spy goggles do best in all kinds of weather & conditions. There is nothing like going out & pounding some woops with our Fox shocks they make the off road feel like pavement.”

It was my pleasure to meet this family, who are delightful people and it was obvious they are close and enjoy one another’s company. They are great sports and the weather didn’t bother them a bit, but then again, I guess they probably encounter even more “weather” when they are riding their quads! Thank you, Dale, Mischele, Aaron and Alex!!

Dale and Mischele are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary this month…
Congratulations, that’s something to be quite proud of!!
Brothers…both tried to be serious, but we managed to get a smile…and later on,
we couldn’t get Alex to keep a straight face!!
Dale and Alex are both accomplished ATV riders and obviously love this sport.
Aaron, a nice young man, who is about to embark on a new
chapter of his life…the future is open to endless possibilities!!
Whoo Hoo…the next time that Aaron tosses his cap, it’ll be the real thing…we figured
he might need to practice this! Best of luck in the future, Aaron!
