We’ve had a pretty crazy couple of months. Really crazy, actually. We moved. We photographed a couple of weddings. It’s the busy season for photography. We’re adjusting to life in a new community. We’re trying to find our life buried in the bottom of boxes. We have a seven year old. And a six year...

I am so envious – I would love to live in the countryside. It looks so peaceful. I love the two close ups of your daughter – her face is so expressive. Just gorgeous. And the one of your husband with your little one – just so special. And the two older children petting the sheep. Great share – thank you.ReplyCancel

Summer,
These images and your words are just beautiful. Often times we need to force ourselves to step away and take that "moment" we need together as a family! Life is too short to worry about all the "stuff" that needs to get done because it will always be there, right?!. I need to take more moments like this myself. Thanks for the inspiration!! ~StaceyReplyCancel

Summer, these are so beautiful! I love the woods and your girls are just lovely. Honestly, between moving, photographing weddings, and getting settled I do not know how you have time to post all those gorgeous images you always post. In this post I really love the close up shots of your oldest daughter. She has captivating eyes. Very great post!ReplyCancel

Amen.
"This moment. These moments right here. These moments that unfold right in front of me are the most important part of life. This is it. This is my one chance. This simple moment of togetherness is really what life is all about. "
There are so many gifts you're giving your children, but the permission to take 30 minutes, and get away… It's huge. They'll take that with them forever.ReplyCancel

Summer, you are the loveliest and your images are beautiful. I'm not one of those busy go go go people either. 🙂 I need trees and fresh air and I'm sure with kids, it feels so great to get out there and let them play and learn to appreciate nature. Your children have stunning eyes and I love the name Meadow. Fantastic job! xoReplyCancel

Oh Summer. I so agree with you and am always amazed how a step away can make all the difference. I do struggle, however, with actually taking that break when needed, rather than waiting until the breaking point. I love these photos. They are so beautiful and it makes you feel like you are in a world of your own. I also LOVE the processing on the last one of your oldest daughter.ReplyCancel
Late Friday evening we returned to what really isn’t our home anymore from our almost finished home. After getting the kids to bed, I sat down at the computer to finish editing my last session and tie up a few loose ends on a few other projects. It was late and I was tired and...

What beautiful images! I often find myself in the same situation as you…very overwhelmed with the things we take on (or that happen to us) in life and often it's so difficult to take time and take in the moment. I really love how you captured that through your images. Taking a step back and taking in what really matters to you. Looking through your images, I felt very peaceful and…happy. Thank you for sharing these struggles and how you have overcome them.ReplyCancel

These photos are just so peaceful and calm; I'd never have known you were struggling to find balance in your day. I definitely have issues trying to find balance between all the different aspects of my life, but looking at your photos allowed me to take a few deep breaths and just "be." 🙂ReplyCancel

I can relate to SO much. It can be SO hard to balance being a mom, wife, cleaning woman, business owner, artist and so much more. I still have yet to learn how to balance my life…. and yes, baby carrots and applesauce absolutely count as side dishes! Your images are so calming. Your girls are precious. Loved these. Thank you for sharing with us the fact that you're normal too! I'm glad I am not the only one that has meltdowns because I'm not superwoman.ReplyCancel

I think google messed with me because my comment is not here. Summer I love the first 4 pictures of your girls and the two with them running. Such fun. I is nice to be outside in nature and just relaxing. I don't know that the juggling gets any easier until they leave home, and even at university both mine still have needs :). Don't feel bad taking time for yourself every now and then – it is healthy to do so. Great pics.ReplyCancel

Summer, your girls look so angelic especially with those high contrast pics and their hair. Such a lovely family to photograph and you do such a stellar job (even with all the chaos)! So glad you were feeling better after writing this. You're a great writer as well as photographer. Hope things go well with the move and that you continue to find moments of peace life's pandemonium. xoReplyCancel
