The first day of August?!  Where on earth did summer go!  Chances are you’re preparing to tackle the back-to-school shopping list and squeeze all the summer fun you can out of these final weeks.  The summer months are such a wonderful time of year, as the days are longer and the to-do lists are shorter and shoes are optional.  Spending hot summer evenings in the backyard grilling or pitching a tent for the weekend is the perfect opportunity for you to capture amazing memories with your loved ones!  I am so passionate about lifestyle photography and capturing the real moments happening in your life that you’ll cherish later.

Today I want to share some ideas with you for ways you can make your summer portrait session amazing!  When planning a summer session, one of the first questions people ask is “What do we do?”  Well luckily during the summer months, the possibilities are endless!  In colder months we have the challenge of working mainly indoors for portrait sessions, but in the summer time there are SO many great activities and ideas you can incorporate into your session!  Here are just a few ideas – which will you pick for YOUR session?  I only have a few dates left for August and September, so contact me today if you’re interested in some summer time fun!

Ideas for a Lifestyle Summer Session

A day at the lake!  Fishing, swimming, boating, kayaking…so much fun in the water.

Ice Cream! …..please include ice cream.  Is there anything more satisfying than Handel’s ice cream when it’s hot out?!

Camping!  I will gladly join you for an evening at your campsite….as long as I get to stay for s’mores.

Your own backyard – my very favorite :)
