Why Backyard Photo Sessions Might Be the Most Meaningful Photos You’ll Ever Take
They Say You Only Get 18 Summers
Let that sink in for a minute.
Eighteen summers of bare feet running through the grass. Of sticky popsicle fingers and clothes, backyard toys strewn across the lawn, little hands helping with the gardens, belly laughs echoing through yours and your neighbours yards.
It goes fast—faster than you think it will. And that’s why I created the Backyard Summer Series.
Not for the perfect outfits or the Pinterest-worthy gardens. But for the real stuff. The messy, wild, unforgettable moments that happen when nobody is paying attention.
Because when you look back, it won’t be about how clean the lawn was, it will be the way your little one runs to you after chasing bubbles, or how your big kid let their guard down in the sun.
What makes a backyard session so special?
There’s no loading up the car. No bribing anyone into smiling. No cleaning the house. Your backyard is enough.
These sessions are designed to meet you where your love lives—whether that’s under a string of patio lights, playing with the garden hose, roasting ‘smores, all the family members snuggled into the garden (throwing dirt). Or cuddled up on your backyard couch. And for the record? You don’t need a picture-perfect yard. You just need to be there.
Who they’re for:
Parents who want real moments captured, not just posed portraits.
Families who’ve said “We’ll do it next year” too many times.
Grandparents visiting for the summer.
The chaotic, the tender, the in-between.
Why I know you’ll love it
When I step into your world, I come with a gentle eye and a lot of heart. I notice the way your child leans into you without thinking. The way Grandma’s hand rests on your daughter’s back. The way you exhale — because for once, someone else is holding the memory.
And every family that’s trusted me with theirs? They’ve walked away with more than photos. They’ve walked away with proof that even in the chaos, there is beauty.
Ready to tell your summer story?
Whether it’s the sprinkler party, the quiet snuggle on the deck, or the multi-generational BBQ, this is your summer, and it’s worth remembering.
