Memorial Day...

Well the official start of the summer season is the weekend, yikes! Where does the time go?

In the spirit of the weekend, I'd like to thank all of those who have served our country, and think with gratitude of those who lost their lives doing so...

I am anxious to be on the beaches taking family photographs- capturing memories of your family as they are today, and creating senior portraits that help share with the world who they are at this moment in time with a glimpse of the the person they are becoming...

It's exciting to watch the changes at the beach, there's this great part of my morning Lucy walk where the beach roses (Rosa Rugosa) are in bloom, and oh my gosh do they smell fabulous! I must look a fool as I'm drawing in their scent into my being as I walk by, such a lovely start to the day! The beach grass is looking green and full and ready to be photographed too! And then there's the crazy horseshoe crabs, seems this must be their favorite time of year because they are everywhere! I've honestly never seen it like this before, creating baby horseshoe crabs everywhere you look, or flying solo enjoying having the water to themselves before our visitors arrive. My friend Bob said he saw the most enormous one he'd ever seen at the Salt Pond Visitor center yesterday, simply huge! How cool!

So the time has come to book that family portrait you've been waiting for, my season is starting to fill up.

I'm looking forward to the summer of 2010 on Cape Cod.

(The portrait is the really fun family I photographed last summer on Great Island - on yet another of those perfect Cape Cod evenings)
