I look forward to summer every year, my schedule as a family photographer opens up and we welcome in the sun and warm temperatures. I love being outdoors, chasing toddlers, just being in the sunshine. It warms my soul year after year.

I got to hang out with a new family today, and it was such fun to work with older kids. No one I had to make silly faces for, or crazy sounds to get them to look at me. Everyone looked so amazing in their outfits. I can’t wait for them to see these images. I couldn’t help but sit in my car after and scroll through my memory card.

These beautiful parents have three lovely daughters that made my day. They had fun, they had silly requests. They snuggled, and laughed. It was just a great evening all around to be outside at my favorite park. We found ourselves back at my favorite area inside Stoney Creek. Tall grasses, beautiful trees getting ready to change their colors for fall. It’s just a joy.

I always joke with my family that I don’t know why I stay in Michigan. This photographer was made for summer weather. I think fall is pretty, but I never need the cool weather to come. Do you have a favorite season? Do you live in a state that experiences all of the seasons?

Enjoy this gorgeous gallery of images from their family photographer session with me. I can’t wait to see these displayed on their walls!
