The Fourth of July is hands down one of my favorite holidays, so many of my most precious childhood memories came from summer time and celebrating the Fourth with my family. Last year was Isla's first Fourth of July and I took a bunch of photos on my phone that ended up breaking and I lost all of the photos. This year, I wanted to be sure to capture all of our family memories we are creating together and I'm backing them up on three different hard drives ;).

It's tradition for my family and my in-laws to run the Freedom Run 5k/10k together. Since I'm majorly prego I just walked the 5k pushing Isla in the stroller and Dasher trotted along side of us. My father-in-law and dad train and run marathons together so they both ran the 10k (they are rockstars, especially my father-in-law who unfortunately has cancer, but he never let's that get him down, he's amazing). We all wake up at the crack of dawn, go run and then watch then after watch the parade and eat a MASSIVE brunch. After that, we always go hang out at the pool until it's time for the neighborhood BBQ and firework show. It's such a fun holiday!

All of these photos were taken on my Canon EOS Rebel T6i DSLR with my 50f/1.2L lens. I've talked about my Rebel in a few previous posts and how much I love to use it to capture all of my family moments (especially because it has wifi). If you missed this post you can read some of my photography tips for taking frame worthy photos of your children and family.
