Well, I finally finished editing through my second round of senior portraits. We got through the batches of proofs and finals and have a handful of portraits that I'm extremely happy with (and so is Nick, our studly feature)!

This was the first "little kids shoot" I've ever done. I was pretty happy with some of the individual shots I was able to capture of each of the kids. BUT, this shoot was quite a challenge!! I learned A LOT.
The fall colors have been absolutely beautiful this season! What perfect weather we've been having to enjoy them, too! Last week I wandered around for a while with my camera at Petrifying Springs Park in Kenosha. That's one of my favorite places to walk. There are trees everywhere, trails, a dog park area, volleyball, grills, hills, river, you name it. It reeks peacefulness and screams for picnics, bike rides and hikes.
Well, it's been just over a month since we've been back from our week-long summer mission trip. It's been quite the wild ride (in a good way) ever since and it's about time we shared about it! So here goes...
After several months of planning, preparation, and fund raising, we were ready to hit the road for our 2010 mission trip. We were Washington, D.C. bound with 8 window-painted minivans, 40 high school students, 8 adults, charged walkie-talkies, and our rubber band bracelets (reminding us to remain "flexible"). On the way there stories were swapped, music was shared (blared?), games were played, bracelets were woven, candy was eaten, gas was pumped, inside jokes were created and lasting friendships were definitely made.

I finally did it! With the help of many encouragements from some of my dear friends and family members (and especially my hubby!), I finally worked up the confidence in my skills to test the waters of portrait photography. One of our friends, Liz, was willing to be my guinnea pig for senior portraits at the beginning of September.

I joined the Photo Kenosha Group in August! I'm pretty excited about it. It will be a great opportunity for me to meet lots of new people and learn quite a bit more about photography. I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead that will push my skills.
