Ever since I moved up here to the beautiful state of Oregon, summertime essentially begins on 4th of July weekend for us (unlike Arizona summers that start in February…ha!). In the spirit of celebrating the start of summer, I want to share with you a compilation of photos from a few very talented documentary family photographers from all over the US, Canada, the UK, and even the Netherlands! I asked my friends to share with me photos they thought “screamed” of summertime and they all delivered an excellent collection of photos. As a matter of fact, I stuggled quite a bit at narrowing it down!
