I’m finally getting around to showing my unnecessarily large collection of girl props, pettiskirts!

If you have an upcoming session, don’t worry, I usually have a few with me.  If you want me to bring a specific color, let me know.  Tank tops or light blouses work best with the pettiskirts.  Pettiskirts are also best barefoot or if you have any of those cute rainboots, bring them with!  (The polka dots below are my favorite!)  Don’t worry, boy props are coming soon!

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!  We spent the 4th in northern Wisconsin, after battling a 4 hour drive up there (I knew we should have left earlier)!  My husband, Jase, and I spent a couple days kayaking.  Hmmm..that seems to be what we were doing last year…

This year over the 4th…

Last year over the 4th…

Last year we missed the fireworks for the first time in forever.  We headed across Prince William Sound to Seward, AK to watch the fireworks.  Turns out, they had the fireworks early morning on the 4th at something like 1am because that’s the only time it was dark enough.  This year we could hear the fireworks from maybe 3 surrounding towns but couldn’t catch a glimpse of any.  So to make up for it, we had our own fireworks display on the 5th….okay, not so much a display as just ‘fun with sparklers’.
