Senior Portrait Road Trip, Day Two: Chicago to Niagara Falls, Day 2 of ???

We covered a lot of ground on day two. We were in five states today. Delisa stopped for 4 things today: gas, food, and bathrooms (usually at the same time) and state lines to do a photo. We crossed Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and into New York. Didn't really do many portraits today, mostly traveled.

The morning began with breakfast at the DoubleTree Hotel.

Delisa has amazing packing skills. We had luggage for 5 people, plus my camera gear. It was like putting together a puzzle, and she knew exactly where to put each piece!


We had hoped to arrive in Niagara Falls in time to do photos before sunset, then get up early the next morning and head to Washington D.C. But we got into some horrible traffic not far from the falls.We did arrive just after sunset, in time for a few photos.

State #2 for the day, Indiana.

Group photo, Welcome to Ohio.

State Trooper who almost put the "Pen" in Pennsylvania for us. We had stopped to take photos of the "Welcome to Pennsylvania" sign. He stopped to inform us it was illegal to stop along the side of an interstate in the state, unless it was an emergency. But those gals used their kindness and southern charm to explain what we were doing.....and another opportunity for Kimberlie to get a photo with a guy in uniform!

State #5 for the day, New York!

Stopped for gas, Delisa was delighted to find a Slush Puppie!

This was the first photo I did of Kimberlie at Niagara Falls. As you can see, there was only a glimmer of sunset left, but we did find more locations to photograph that evening. That's Toronto, Canada you see in the background.

Chelsea and Kimberlie striking some cool dance moves.

Delisa with Kimberlie. As you can see, the falls are lit with colored lights at night.

Occasionally Delisa would insist on doing a photo of Lajunta and I. This was our first trip back to the eastern part of the US!
After a long day, we found a hotel and had a good night's rest. We returned to the falls the next day for some spectacular photos!
