vaaaaacay! & halle part ii: senior pictures

Hello all! I wanted to put up a quick post with a few more photos from my senior session last week with Halle, before Rick and I leave for our first full week of vacation in our nearly six years of being together!! I simply can't wait. We leave tomorrow for East Lansing, Michigan where I'm attending the Gray Photography In-Camera Workshop with Zach and Jody Gray on Sunday ... Again, I can't wait to learn from industry leading professionals and spend the day with fellow photographers.

On Monday we are traveling to Kalamazoo and letting our wild-side run free! We're going to rent jeeps/four wheelers and go riding over the sand dunes by Lake Michigan.  I haven't been riding in nearly 4 years...and it's been 4 years too long!

Tuesday we're back to East Lansing for a relaxing day and I am attending a business workshop with Gray Photography that evening...

Wednesday we're visiting the largest mall in Michigan where I plan to do some serious damage at Anthropologie and then some more wallet damage that evening at the Casino! We're meeting up with a couple that Rick knows from way back when and having dinner at Michael Symon's restaurant, Roast, and then hitting up the slot machines ;)

Thursday we're going to visit rick's family and then come home that evening to pick up our sweet puppy. That is the only part of the trip that I am dreading - I am surprisingly sad about leaving Bella. But, fortunately, we are lucky to have a really sweet girl who will take great care of our baby, *uh-hem* I mean puppy :)

So that's my week! Then when we get home I have three photo-shoots in three days, which to me, is the perfect end to an amazing week. This year has been absolutely amazing so far. My business is taking off - I get to marry the love of my life almost exactly one year from today - my second niece will be here this July and everything just keeps getting better and better.

I love my life, my passions, my family and friends; and I can't wait to share my adventures of the coming week. But for now, feast your eyes on Halle!
