Savor Summer: A Framed Take on Outdoor Living

Design by Stanton Home Design, Photography by Tori Sikkema Photography

Summer living is about slowing down—meals that stretch past sunset, naps in the shade, and spaces that invite you to stay awhile. Stanton Home Design brings that ethos to life with this effortlessly elegant backyard retreat. Crisp canvas umbrellas, plush teak loungers, and soft linens set the tone for laid-back luxury, while lush hydrangeas and structured greenery soften the scene with natural beauty.

For me, this shoot was about more than just capturing a space—it was about evoking a season. This shoot wasn’t just about documenting design—it was about channeling the essence of summer itself. Every frame was crafted to evoke sensation—sun-warmed stone, the gentle sway of trees, the hush of a summer afternoon.

What makes this project special is how it embodies the best of summer: unfussy, fresh, and full of intention. It’s not just design—it’s a lifestyle. And through my lens, that lifestyle becomes a visual narrative of serenity, comfort, and sunlit sophistication. As summer gently slips toward its close, now is the moment to pause and preserve it. Whether you’ve completed a new project or styled a seasonal space, let’s work together to capture the feeling while it still lingers. Through intentional editorial photography and an eye for storytelling, I help designers translate their summer vision into timeless imagery—crafted to last long after the season has passed.
