Summer has finally arrived in Cleveland – at least for a couple of days. To beat the heat last night the kids busted out the Slip-n-Slide.

If there is a perfect way to take portraits of kids, it has to be when they are being kids. The smiles are real. Their personality shines. There is no reason a photographer can’t come to your house and just follow the kids around for a bit – playing ball, riding bikes, being, well, kids!

Besides, my studio isn’t big enough for a Slip-n-slide!

Hope you’re enjoying the summer!
