Seniors Return to School

Wow! Summer blew by quickly this year and what a busy summer it's been! While everyone's thinking about returning to school, the phone's been ringing to try and fit in as many Senior Portraits as I can. Although it's busy, I always try to make each session unique and special for the senior I'm working with.

Last night was a case in point. I went to Beau's house, on the outskirts of Franklin, where there's enough yard to play a real football game. Beau's even got a pond to swim in so it was fun walking around, looking for places and angles to photograph him.

Then he showed me the snowmobiles. Beau used to race them but now they're just for fun. I had him maneuver them into the position I need to get the light I wanted. When I showed him this series of images, he got this big smile on his face and pointed to one saying, "I really like THIS one!" Satisfaction guaranteed!

This is my last post until I'm ready to show you some images from England and Scotland. I leave tomorrow to visit my sister and then head off to the Isle of Skye for some hiking. Since I'm starting to get better on the banjo, maybe a Scot will teach me some bagpipes?

Fall Family Portraits

With the arrival of the cooler weather over the weekend, it can only mean one thing - Fall is about to arrive. Young adults are making their way to campuses, kids and parents are getting ready to crack open the school books again, and today I saw a flock of gold finches getting ready to migrate.

So now's the time to get your family together for a Fall Family Portrait! September and October gives us some of the most beautiful weather of the year, and don't forget, it's WARMER near Lake Michigan in the fall. (Payback time for the Spring season!)

If your last family photo falls into the category of 4 or more years old, you're overdue. If the clothing in the image was 2 fashions ago, it's time. If that sweet toddler in the photo is now in middle school, enough said. Round up the family and let's talk locations, clothing, canine companions, etc.

For your convenience, you can book online at: http://peggymorsch.bookmonline.com It's best to book at 10 or 11 in the morning or 3 - 4 in the afternoon.
