I knew this would take awhile

to get used to. I haven't been blogging as much as I would like.
We really do love serving our clients on the very special days in their lives.
We have had some great weddings to shoot over the last 3 weeks. 5 in all.
Traverse City, Hawk Hollow in the Lansing area and last Saturday was Canton (near Detroit) then Mystic Creek for the reception. Mystic Creek was very pretty. Nice big windows with a scenic golf course which make it nice for reception pics. On the way to the reception we led the bridal party to U of M campus lawyers quad in Ann Arbor. U of M is not a favorite place for anyone in the BP (bridal party) or of Alicia and I but they all agreed the law quad is a beautiful place for pictures. (pic on the left) Most of the BP were CMU and MSU alumni/fans. Besides, if you have ever been to Ann Arbor it's extremely difficult to find your way around. Lucky for me my days driving a truck included a lot of time in Ann Arbor.
We have been busy with some senior photos as well and this week we shoot the sports program for Mason High School. It's where we live and have been quite active with photographing the sports teams. Especially the ones our son's are involved in.
We have one left to get through High School. Noah begins his Freshman year at MHS. He's playing tennis in the fall. It will help his footwork as he prepares for the wrestling season.
We are all looking forward to the wrestling season. Noah has been working hard all summer and is stepping up his weight lifting as well as starting to cut weight to get to his desired level. Myles has been working with him to get him in shape. He's not tip top yet but he is doing great. When he looks at himself he is proud of what he has accomplished and so are we all. He weighed 147 pounds in January when 8th grade wrestling began and he got down down to a lean 125 by seasons end and has maintained that area all summer. We know where he's going to be for wrestling season but we're keeping a lid on it until it's actually achieved.
For those who don't know about Mason wrestling it's something of a religion here. They have multiple state titles and runner up state titles over the last 7-10 years. 9 consecutive district titles. It's an individual sport with a team menatlity. A pretty tight group.
Myles is doing his Marine prep until he leaves for basic training in January. Once a week and every third Saturday he's expected to show up to events. He's looking forward to it and we are in complete support of his decision. He will make a great Marine.
Ian has been attending school in Lansing and is also looking for extra work right now. Not easy to find here in Michigan if you're looking for high pay with a future but he's looking for a weekly paycheck so he shouldn't have as much trouble. He's at home with us so his expenses are low.
Next weekend we have Grand Haven on Lake Michigan. should be great.
See ya,
Jeff
