Snapshots of Summer
Before we head into the final stretch of the year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the season that was. For us, this included everything from road trips to quiet moments, big milestones to small joys. Our team spent the summer recharging, exploring, and finding inspiration in and outside of the studio.
Here’s a look at how we made the most of the season, with one photo and one sentence (each!) to sum it all up.

This summer, I had shoulder surgery that forced me to slow down physically and mentally. It’s given me a fresh perspective on health, gratitude, and the power of truly listening to your body.

In celebration of our 35th wedding anniversary, we took a vacation to Rome, Venice, and then boarded a 10-day Mediterranean cruise, making stops in Greece, Croatia and Turkey. Highlighted by amazing service on the cruise, touring the ancient ruins, and incredible food, the trip was the perfect way to mark our milestone.

Family seems to sum up my summer. A family wedding, annual family picnic, cottage splendor, BBQs, concerts, outs-and-abouts, and evening chats on the porch.

This year, I wanted to make the most of the summer by spending more time in nature. One of my favourite places has been Riverwood, it’s close to home and perfect for relaxed walks with family and close friends. With its beautiful trails and peaceful surroundings, it’s an easy weekend escape that doesn’t require much planning. The perfect combination: a mocha, good company, and time in nature.

My highlight of the summer would definitely have to be attending Lobsterfest. It was a wonderful experience, especially since it was my first time trying lobster, and I got to share that with my husband and daughter. The event had live music, fun games for the kids, and even a picture booth where you could pose as a lobster, which was a lot of fun.

Kicking off an adventure-filled weekend by gathering around the fire.

This summer I have spent most of my time hanging out with my kids, seeing the sights, going on local adventures and enjoying my sweeties. Whether it is a day picking berries, swinging on swings, watching movies on the couch or meeting up with friends to see something new, it is loud and crazy but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The summer of 2025 was definitely the summer of ‘Soccer’! 4 nights of the week were dedicated to driving, watching and even coaching 4 of my 5 kids. It was pretty hectic, but well worth it! Looking forward to a little break in September.
As we prepare for the change that the autumn season brings, we’re focused on bringing that fresh energy and perspective back into the studio.
