Soaking up Summertime – Kitsap Documentary Family Photographer

Summertime here in Washington always seems to peak late – or at least to the best of my memory and experience it does. There’s something really magical about those waning days of summer and this past year, for some reason, I seemed to appreciate them a bit more.

Perhaps it was because instead of being pregnant, I had a nine month old. Or perhaps it was because it was the last summer I had before my son started kindergarten (which seemed like just a big transition at the time, but now that we are staring down 1st grade, it seems like nothing at all). Either way, this installment of Here and Now that I shot in August, during the last few days of summertime, is exactly how I remember summer.

Waking up, coffee, the kids playing, feeding the pets, sneaking in a few minutes of work, playing with the big kid, tending to the baby, and then blowing off some sort of task to enjoy the weather. Then finally settling in for dinner and bedtime at home while the light from the setting sun streams through our back windows.

Here’s August.
