we celebrated the fourth with my sisters, mom, and grandma this year … it consisted of five guys burgers and fries, cherry-chocolate malts, snuggles with a sweet smelling babe, a few board games, and of course we finished off the night with sparklers. oh how i love photographing sparklers. they’ve appeared on this blog a few times before and i can’t promise you won’t see them again … apologies in advanced 😉
how did you celebrate the holiday??
Sparklers make the best pictures! These are si fun! Sounds like you had a perfectly lovely fourth!
sparklers are the besttttttt.
the best part of july 4th, hands down.
Beautiful pictures! I celebrated with family and friends in true American fashion complete with BBQ and fireworks! Happy 4th!
oh these photos are so festive. I love it!
Happy 4th!! We played with sparklers too and it was so fun, as always. There was cooking out, baseball, world cup matches, and general good times for our holiday. Love your pictures, as always! xo
Sounds like a perfect holiday! We celebrated with a hot dog bar and ice cream sandwiches!!!

Oh, sparklers. They get me every time! And make for such lovely photos!
We spent our 4th laying on a blanket in our backyard watching our neighbor set off a ton of illegal fireworks that almost rivaled any professional display I've ever seen. Luckily he didn't blow his hand off and we got a pretty show! 😉

I had my camera on an auto setting with a large aperture. Hope this help!
Xoxo, Sara
Such lovely lovely photos! Wish I could take photos as well as you do :') will have to practise! Sounds like such a lovely 4th July, being English it's not a huuuge holiday here. But in future I would definitely use it as a reason to celebrate America! And it's the perfect excuse for burgers and sparklers 😉
