Summer in Northwest Ohio feels like long golden evenings, wildflowers brushing against little bare feet, ice cream melting too fast, and kids staying up way past bedtime. Around here, summer nights usually end with my kids still outside long after they were supposed to come in, either spraying each other with the hose or bouncing on the trampoline while the sun disappears. It’s messy and loud and the kind of thing I already know I’ll miss someday.

That’s probably why I love summer sessions so much.
