The Magic of Water Play (And Why You’ll Want Photos of It)
There’s something timeless about kids splashing in the lake. Barefoot, soaked to the knees, faces lit with laughter—it’s summer distilled down to its purest form. And as a photographer and a parent, I can tell you: these are the moments worth remembering.
Playing in water has this almost magical way of pulling everyone, kids and adults alike, out of their heads and into the present. Suddenly, there are no to-do lists. No screens. No pressure to perform or pose. Just joy. Just play. Just connection.
And then there is the light. Northern Michigan's summer evenings cast the most beautiful, golden warmth across the water. Skin glows. Drops sparkle. Everything feels soft and a little bit enchanted.
But here’s the thing: that season is short. One minute you're pulling the swim floaties out of storage, and the next, you're looking for your sweaters again. If you’ve been dreaming about capturing your family by the water this year, reach out early. These sessions fill fast—and we’d love to make sure you get in before the lake starts to chill again.
Let’s bottle up a little summer together.
