This is my first summer as an adult that I have been able to enjoy weekend mornings outside in the hammock with Caleb. Hammocks are one of the most underrated stress-free choices for easy, breezy backyard relaxation. I had a lot of fun curating this summer hammock round-up post!

As you may know, I run a photography business. From 2010 to 2019 I photographed 40+ weddings each year and photography family sessions and commercial work during the week. Caleb has been photographing the weekend weddings alongside me for the past 5 years. We both decided that for 2020 we would only book 10 weddings so that Caleb and I could start enjoying more of our life together as husband and wife, not just coworkers. It was the best decision we’ve made together in a long time.

I am photographing more families than ever during the week and I couldn’t be happier with this pivot in the photography business. Because of this, the past few weeks have been absolutely incredible.

I’ve forgotten how nice it is just to wake up early on a Saturday morning, head outside, and sip coffee in the hammock and watch the clouds and birds fly by. Sounds cheesy, but for someone who is always on the go-go-go this time off is just what the doctor ordered.

Ever since I started sharing my hammock mornings in my stories on Instagram, I’ve gotten a lot of messages asking where we got our hammock. Truthfully, we got it on Groupon about 4-5 years ago, but I found it on Amazon! I love our hammock, but there are so many others available right now – so here is my round-up of Most Relaxing Hammocks for Summer 2020.
