An important message for my clients not located in the Southwest Florida area: It looks like Tropical Storm Fay {predicted to be hurricane Fay tomorrow} will be heading to the Southwest Florida area. While this is not predicted to become a ‘major hurricane’, we all know just how ‘predicable’ hurricanes are. Even a mild brush with the storm could be enough to damage power lines and leave us sweltering in the heat for the better part of a week. This storm is predicted reach our area late Monday or early Tuesday this week. If you are awaiting proofs or portrait shipments please expect a delay until we have cleared the path of the storm. Silly as this may sound…If there are any long term power outages you will know by my lack of communication with you.
For my local clients, many of whom I consider my friends, please take care of yourselves and stay safe. You guys know the drill. 
Most of us Floridians know this is just a way of life, perhaps the cost of living in such a beautiful area. All you can do is prepare and pray for the best. We’ve been pretty lucky in this area since the nightmare hurricane season of 2004 (that’s a year I’d rather forget!), let’s hope our luck holds out through this year as well.
