summertime

post by leslie

This week, I had a different kind of shoot. I spent 23 hours with a family, documenting their every day life. I've been wanting to try these "day in the life" sessions for a very long time, and this summer I decided to jump in, and man was it fun!This family was my first (thank you so much for trusting me!), and I had a blast! It was so exciting to gain the trust of the kids and to capture the love between each of the family members. Next week, I'll do a longer post and show you what I'm talking about, but for now I just wanted to share some of these fun sprinkler photos! Taking pictures in the harsh afternoon light is not something I embrace, but the water and the shadows (and the smiles!) really said summer to me, and I wanted to share these images first.And now for your internet shares of the day:+ A friend of mine is selling these pins and they make me laugh (you will too if you get the reference).+ The dog photographer of the year photos are all over the European papers this week, and even in The Guardian (my favorite paper in the world). This pleases me to no end.+ A super fun gymnast routine with a Micheal Jackson soundtrack!
