MORE TO COME!

How I stay cool in this heat.

I shoot out in the heat a lot. We have a wonderful studio with cool painted concrete floors and central air, but a lot of times clients want something outdoors. If you've never tried one of these you have to get some!

They are bandanas filled with some sort of crystals that absorb water! I got mine at walmart a few years ago and love them. You simply fill a small bowl with water and some ice, and place them into the bowl for about 15 minutes. Soon the crystals will swell with water and then you simply tie them around your neck. Great for mowing the lawns, or attending a parade, or during a family picnic, etc. You can take along a thermos with ice water and put it back into the thermos (dont drink the water!) and resoak it as needed. (I take along 2 wraps,and alternate them every hour.) My father worked out doors all his life and I just wished these would of been around back then for him. :-(

Pick up a couple at Walmart or your local athletic supply store, or buy them online here! They are priceless when the temps soar and you're stuck in summer heat.

Ashley is a Dixie Chick!

Wow, we had a great time with Ashley! The temps were soaring yesterday, over 100 and i was sweating, but Ash was calm cool and collected! Ash goes toRider and is one of the Raiderettes.

When I would ask her to climb a brick wall, she did it with zeal, jump into a spiderweb covered bus, she climbed up, asked her to walk around a salvage yard in 6 inch heels she said "SURE!". Her sparkly personality and twinkle in her eyes, says "Im a go getter!" I really enjoyed her. Lots of ice, Sonic, and some ice cold soaked bandanas kept us going in the heat for 4.5 hours!

Thanks Ashley, Every one of your images is a show stopper! Thanks for chosing Pics by Dix. you are definetly A DIXIE CHICK! :-)

Summers almost here!

Wow things have been very hectic here lately. Our son graduated high school and we've been really busy in the studio. Weekends we are at the lake or by the pool. I intend to get as much joy out of this summer as possible!
Tonight I grilled Teriyaki chicken with pineapple and wild brown rice and made a lemon bundt cake with real lemon juice! We love eating outdoors in the evening. (DINING AL FRESCO as they say!)
I hope you guys are all doing well and taking the time to enjoy the beautiful weather (although its getting pretty hot lately!)

Lovely Lynsey!

This young lady first came into my studio I think when she was around one year old!
Her mother was one of our very first clients when I opened my studio up on Brooke Ave!
So it was so great that she came to me today for her Senior portraits. She will be 17 in a few days. WOW time sure flies.

It was great to catch up. Ive also photographer her mothers wedding and so many of their family memories. There is something to be said for Loyalty and it warms my heart!
Thank you Thea and Lynsey for today, i had the best time with you guys! Thank you so much.
