If you’ve been around here long enough, you know I can hold a secret like a colander holds water. Um, not very well at all!
So while I’d like to put up a blog post featuring each of the fun, fabulous and photogenic families that dropped by last weekend for Manotick porch portrait mini-sessions, I just had to put up a quick sneak peek so you could see how well they turned out.
And? If you’re going to do your first-ever portrait mini-sessions, I highly suggest you find yourself a set of families just like these ones. 🙂
The T family dropped by first. Mom, Dad, and a curly-haired beauty I wanted to keep for my own by the end of the session.
Next up was the M family. I’d been warned ahead of time that their sweet young son was a purveyor of that tight-lipped non-grin that all boys of this age seem to make when you point a camera at them. Luckily, I’ve had LOTS of practice overcoming that one, and these kids had gorgeous, genuine and warm smiles to share.
And last but not least, the F family had me jumping up and down and shouting “boo” to make little Miss M smile for the camera. No doubt, these two are monkeys and kept me on my toes (and in the air!) but I think the final product was worth every crazy leap.
I’ll have a few more pictures from each session posted in the next couple of weeks, but I was so pleased with the results that I had to share a few sneak peeks with you!
Thanks so much for sharing. I did comment on your rainbow cupcake post but it does not show. Just want you to know I forwarded to my friends with young children and my peers with grandchildren Thanks for the awesome idea.
Gorgeous!
Precious, precious photos!
Wonderful photos. Everyone was having a great time. I wish I had a family like that.
