The Gordon family picked the perfect time for their summer session in Kensington, Maryland. The gardens had gorgeous seasonal blooms…the perfect backdrop for a bright, joyful morning.

Everything about the session was relaxed and playful. The kids are pros at this point (the benefits of doing a photo session with me every year… wink, wink). We filled the morning with snuggles, hugs, laughs, and smiles.

Sessions like this remind me why summer is such an underrated time for family photos. The colors are rich, the light is golden, and the atmosphere is easy and fun. The Gordons took advantage of that “no camp, no school” time of year, which made schedules flexible and gave them something special to do together.
