Family Weekend Getaway

We are lucky enough to be able to borrow a family member's cabin in the woods a few times a year and we LOVE it!  It is only about a bit over an hour to drive there and it is just so relaxing- to hang out in the middle of nowhere doing nothing.  Kids and parents both love the downtime and we love taking just a few days to not have a schedule for anything.  I do always bring my camera, but usually take more formal images of the kids outside- trying to highlight the season. But this time I decided to have a more lifestyle approach and just be present- and be a witness.  And I have to say I LOVE these just as much as the few we created as their formal Easter pictures.  While I do always bring my camera and a few lenses along on trips, I rarely have it out to capture the everyday- and I would like to do more of it!  Being a professional photographer in Maryland is fabulous because we get to experience each and every season.  And my kids love remembering happy experiences through photographs too!
