My Cousin Mel and I had a good time this summer meeting up for a few shoots.  First Jordan is a senior and he wanted to go to cousin Doreen's cabin. His favorite place.  That day they caught a massive crab and while Jordan was holding it it pinched his finger.  Got him good!  But Jordan was tough and we all decided to eat that crab and boy was he tasty!   The fog rolled in just as we got to the beach and I loved that he was willing to go out in the kayak.  We got together again for some pictures with Jack(the handsome doggie).  I had a great time with Jordan-such a great guy!   Then we needed some family pictures before Cody heads back to college.  We went out to Dan's family farm on the River Road.  It was just a beautiful spot and perfect summer night.  We needed to rally the troops a few times-that means to distract them from their phones:) And as you can see Mel is the queen of her castle.  Love you Mel!
