The end of August is generally, what I consider to be, the Dog Days of Summer (even though the Farmer's Almanac will say early July through mid August).  Toss in some Northeastern humidity, and you've got some hot, hot heat!  

I have been following these kiddos around since infancy (and their Dad and I go way back, like, to middle/high school).  My point is -- I've collectively known this family for a very long time!  The Mom literally just lets me capture the kids in their truest form.  And I am so thankful for that!  She not only gets my point of view, but she trusts me enough to just "let me do my thing."  She knows that the images I create will be proof of a "real" day in their lives.  Kids grinning ear to ear.  Playing and laughter that can't be contrived.   It's the best kind of chaos!  

This year's session is full of quite a few tell-tale signs of summer... flowing sun dresses, bare feet, wild flowers, swinging, water sprinkler dashing, and even some naked bums!  Because what fun would it be to not run around with a bare-naked bum?! 

These kiddos are the best!  Go on and see for yourselves!!! 

The End
