sweet days of summer

It's been a great summer of recitals, family, friends, lessons, pool, nyc, home projects, etc. - a time to recharge and refuel for the coming school year and busy portrait seasons.

My father was in the Air Force when I was growing up and we moved every two years of my life.  Summer was often a time for regrouping because we were moving to a new place.  Fall meant  meeting new people, learning new things and making new friends and quite literally - a fresh start.   So Fall, even more than the new year, is when I feel that surge of energy and enthusiasm that accompany new beginnings...even now.

But I digress, a little...here are some of my favorite images from this summer...

 

School supplies are ready and waiting in a bag to be taken in the first day of school.  The phone is ringing and sessions are booking.   I'm anticipating learning new things, meeting new people and making new friends.

Is my excitement showing?
