Some Awesome Summer Photos of Deep Creek Lake
My personal assistant, Ally, recently spent a weekend here at the lake with her family. Being one of the last weekends before school starts, the lake was so busy!
However, mixed with the perfect weather- it was a great opportunity for a photo shoot.
Check out some of the shots she got last weekend!
There were a few quick storms but it made for some awesome clouds!
And the weekend ended with a beautiful sunset.
Thanks Deep Creek Lake for being so good to us this summer!
