Ian’s session was held at Muirhead’s Farm in rural Plato Center and studio session in Burlington.  The weather couldn’t decide if it was going to rain or not – it was a light rain which was fine, but then started raining harder so we decided we would go to the studio but by the time we got to the cars to leave it had stopped so then we just continued on with the outdoor part and boy am I glad we did.  We got a wide variety for Ian’s gallery of both outdoor and indoor shots.  Thanks Ian for being so flexible!
