Another Family Reunion

Filed under: Everyday Life, Photography — Susan Stevenson @ 3:02 pm

Steve and I are leaving for Sacramento tomorrow. The dog is being boarded, the house sitter is arriving tomorrow morning to take care of house and cat, and we’ll be *flying the friendly skies*.

We’re visiting Steve’s sister Julie - who he just regained contact with, a little more than a year ago.  He’s really excited and so am I.

Unfortunately, the weather in that part of CA isn’t the best right now. In fact, the temperature at Mendocino Beach (where we’ll be heading this weekend) is in the 50s and it’s drizzling. Julie called to remind us to bring jackets. No worries there; we’ve got jackets for all kinds of weather. Guess I won’t need my t-shirt and capris! OK… maybe one set just in case it warms up.

I don’t really care about the weather. It’s all about spending time with family.  And despite the rain, I’m sure I’ll find things to capture with my camera while we’re there.  Maybe rainbows!

CELEBRATING NEW LIFE

I had a maternity photo shoot this past Sunday. The couple is expecting a little boy in about two weeks. I’ve photographed this couple before - their engagement photos -  so it was a thrill to share in such a beautiful and personal time of their lives.

Here is just a small sample of the photos I took on Sunday:
