Enjoying each moment and being in the present has been a big goal of mine this summer. Everything from spending more time outside to making time to bake. I thought I would do something a bit different on my blog. Since I take a lot of photos that don’t end up on here, I thought I would share some of my favorite summer moments from this past week in a mini photo diary!
Most mornings this summer have been started with a cup of tea and on this rainy day, I decided to spend some time watching the rain while getting ready.
This little one thinks every pillow in the house is her own personal bed, and it’s the cutest thing.
Summer walks with this little one are always the best.
Summer sunsets are my favorite. There is something so calming about seeing the beautiful shades of pink and orange as the day ends.
But I do love a moody blue evening sky too.
On the day I wanted to take some photos it was starting to rain. So instead of calling it quits, I just used an umbrella and I love how the photos turned out. This was taken on the trail I walk in the mornings, and it’s one of the most beautiful places near where I live.
Even though it’s been so hot here recently, I still try to spend a bit of time outside. For some reason, it has taken me this long to realize that the flowers in my backyard would be great to cut and bring inside.
And those are a few summer moments from this week. I’d love to know how summer is going for you!

I love the photo of the sunset, and I love all the greenery around you. I live in a city, so I miss being around nature.

I honestly love the rain and wish it rained more often here in the desert. I love being outside in the rain going for a walk or run.

So many lovely, intimate moments shared in this blog post, although my absolute favourite is the first one featuring the striped umbrella. Bare legs in the pouring rain? SO many memories of this kind of woodland walk – and all of them positive 🙂

I love these summer snaps- so good for living in (and remembering) the moment!
How cute is your pup? My girls do this, too- any pillow/blanket/soft anything we buy immediately becomes yet another dog bed, haha.

That sunset pic is incredible! Love that you are enjoying these moments. I am on a break from the blog and social media and it’s been amazing. The summer has been good with not a lot of traveling.

You are such a talented photographer! I really love the stories you can imagine from looking at the pictures: great summer adventures, peaceful times, an amazing four-legged friend and a very talented girl. So inspiring!
Thanks so much for sharing <3

All the pictures are wonderful! They give me the most relax feeling looking at them. I’d love to know what camera you shoot with them most, is it the one you’re showing here? Photography is my side job, one of many, lol! My summer has been busy trying to get my son out into the work force, he’s 20 and it’s a challenge to say the least!!
