We’ve been able to keep July 4th our most sacred holiday- the one we never book and always leave open for getting lost in the forest somewhere; unwashed hair, makeup-and-cellphone-reception-free, campfire cooked meals, accordion lessons surrounded by trees, awaken swims in the cold waters, sparklers to light up the night. A few years ago we made the priority to keep summer summer; to not get lost in editing or being too busy. These personal photos are a reminder of that priority kept and the feeling of slowing down the summer days that pass by too quickly.
