One of my favourite things to do in the summer (and fall!) is spend time at the river. We have several options - and usually we just drive to the river and walk through the trail and lay on the hot rocks.

But when we have an entire afternoon/evening, we pack up our little boat and motor, some food, some bathing suits, marshmallows, and head to another section. The first spot is wonderful - but this little corner on the river is MAGIC. The water is murky, the fishing is terrible, the sand is rough. But it is private and mystical and quiet. We watch beavers swim by. We swim, we splash, we put on sweaters when the sun sets and move closer to the fire.

I love these nights, and I love my spot on our blanket, watching my children experience childhood the way I have always dreamed they would. I document them, and for some reason, I’m really drawn to black and white for these sun-soaked images. I don’t know why. But I wanted to share my favourites from 2020. I hope you enjoy them.
