one | july 2015

July is probably my favorite month, I love summer, I love spending time in Michigan and out on the water, and the 4th of July has always been my favorite holiday. The weather has continued to be kind of strange, we haven’t always able to get out on the water because of the rain storms…but we are out there as much as possible!

Even though I’ve got pictures of all of these wonderful outdoor scenes, activities, and sunsets, I’m choosing this one for the month. An indoor night shot, of my littlest guy asleep, with his camping lantern ablaze right above him. My boys are so excited about their first camping trip of the season (happening tonight, actually, as this blog post gets published, in the sand dunes on the shores of lake Michigan)…they’re so excited that they have rigged their lanterns on their bunkbeds, and inexplicably fall asleep with these things blaring right in their faces. And so I sneak in to shut them off a couple hours after they fall asleep. And I couldn’t resist taking a few shots of this scene with Sully taking watch over my sweet baby.

Please follow me to NYC to see what my dear friend Stacey has been up to in July! She’s been on some pretty amazing trips lately, maybe we’ll see some of her gorgeous shots from out west…
