This August 1st also meant a trip into Wisconsin! I had a family portrait session at a client's lake house, and they invited Fernando and me up for the weekend. In just a little over two hours, we were at their house and Lauderdale Lake!
The view from their front yard.
Steve and Stephanie took us out on their pontoon boat for a tour of the lake--there are actually three connected lakes--and to scout out possible locations for a portrait session. We had so much fun talking and enjoying the scenery that we decided to just do portraits in their yard. Fernando posed for me while the family changed clothes, and I got some good ideas for different spots to shoot in.
The C. family portraits will be put up on my photography website soon; for now, suffice it to say the camera went away and we enjoyed a great meal grilled by Steve, and an evening filled with laughter and fun. We went back out for a midnight swim; Stephanie and I stayed on the boat while Steve and son Ryan and Fernando went for a swim in one of the bays.
We didn't get to bed until 2:00am! After a lazy morning and yummy breakfast made by Stephanie, Fernando and I took off for home, making sure we purchased a case of Spotted Cow (Wisconsin brew; we loved our initiation to this flavorful brew!) before crossing the border.
As soon as we pulled into our driveway, I grabbed my camera and started snapping this thunderhead that was looming toward us. Most of the rain missed us, but the clouds were an impressive sight!
Mammatus clouds as the storm approached.
Back to life,
Christine
