Summer on the Porch

Summer on the Porch

Beauty in the ordinary, in the stillness, in the everyday moments that seem to pass us by. This collection is about capturing those moments that are gone again in a flash, moments that we find when we slow down and drown out the noise. The bittersweet moments of being a parent; the highs, the lows and all the moments in between.

A fresh bouquet of flowers, a breathtaking sunset. Holding your baby’s hand one day and then, in what feels like a flash, realizing that you now have to let them go. Now letting them find their own way in this big, big world. An extra long hug, holding on to them for as long as you can. Tears shed for what is to come, along with tears shed for all that has passed in a blink of an eye and of course, tears of joy.

It’s about embracing the “little” things that really turn out to be bigger than we imagine.

It’s the simplest of pleasures that often go unnoticed in the hustle and bustle of our busy lives such as spending lazy days of “Summer on the Porch”.

This collection is a reminder to pause, take a breath, and revel in the stillness. Let yourself linger in the ordinary for it is in those moments that the magic happens.
