girls weekend at the cottage
I took these photographs all the way back in 2008 and decided to revisit and post them b/c well, it’s cottage season again. It’s that time of year when we spend our cottage time swimming, hammock-ing, barbequing, magazine reading, gin & tonic drinking, bonfire-ing, s’more eating, daytime napping, boating, water skiing, nature walking, wildflower collecting, crossword puzzling, board gaming, sunburning, eating, laughing, naval gazing all in the good company of friends and family. I’m a cottage lover. Been doing it since I was a wee one and I can’t think of anywhere more pleasant than the cottage. We Ontarians feel fierce about our cottages/cabins. These special places can go way back in our blood lines or be recently acquired. Regardless of the amount of time you have spent at your cottage, a cousin or friend’s cottage, I’ll bet it’s one of your best memories. Having said that I want to extend this invitation to you. Rather than waiting until the winter season is upon us panicked for a family photo, pick a night and ask me to your cottage. Invite me into your backyard at dusk. Bring me to your home first thing in the morning while you’re snuggled in bed with the little ones.
Let’s make images that show how you really are with the people and surroundings you love most. xo
Beautiful Kristen. Makes me want to jump in the lake…
I love your pictures Kristen.
Always have, always will. They are always so unobtrusive and real.
Thank you so much Lindsay. Your words never fail to warm my heart. : )
Kris, thank you for the feelings of nostalgia those images evoke. Your images have transported me to a happy, comforting place.
Time for another girls’ getaway to Bob’s Lake?
Such a great time! Love the shot of the fruit on the table in the window. Miss you guys. xo
Love this site.
Was just planning a weekend with my girl friends at the cottage and came across your site.
Love the artistic photos that tell your weekend at the cottage…
Hope you have many more and me too we deserve it.
