When I think of summer I think about summers as a child. Schools out, you have two months of fun in the sun. We would spend a lot of time at our grandparents house. They had a pool and a big backyard so we would spend ALL DAY in the pool - making whirlpools, playing who can hold their breathe the longest, trying to swim underneath the ladder without touching it. It was so much fun! Our grandma would make us all our favourite foods and if we slept over we had our little routine - Rogers to each pick up our movie pick, slurpees at the corner store, favourite dinner and then movies. It was honestly the best and I loved it so much. They’re core memories that I have and hope my children will have with their grandparents.
So this summer I’m doing a lot of grandparent/grandchild photo sessions. 25% of each photo session is going to the Heart and Stroke Foundation because my grandfather had a stroke which altered his life afterward and my dad had a pacemaker/defibrillator installed after a series of heart episodes. If it wasn’t for the work of the Heart and Stroke Foundation to date I know their stories would have ended differently.
I kicked off the season with this first grandparent session at the beach! Grandma M came to visit from the East Coast so it was so special that we got to photograph them playing together at the beach. I imagine it’s so hard to only see your grandbabies a couple times a year so when Mama J inquired about gifting her mom a session I was so excited cause I hope they’re memories they’ll cherish forever!
