On the weekend, I had the great pleasure of playing with the delightful kids of the S family as we did a special Easter porch portrait mini-session. You might remember the S family from last summer, when I captured this great portrait of M swinging from the rope in our back yard tree house. (How come I never got around to blogging so many of my sessions last summer? I need to catch up and post a whole bunch of them!)
The kids were such fun to work with, and I was truly delighted when their mom contacted me when it was still cold and snowy to arrange a spring session, perhaps in time for Easter if the weather would cooperate. And did it ever!
It was bright and sunny, if not a little breezy, and the kids looked adorable in their Easter finery.
I caught a couple of good shots of M playing her violin last summer, and now her brother C has joined in the weekly lessons – although I think he might have been trying to poke me with his bow on this one. 🙂
You can’t make this kind of cuteness, you just have to be ready to capture it when it happens.
And I love this one because it features my new favourite prop, the fabulous free frame!
Really, it’s hard to go wrong with a family as playful and fun and full of energy as these kids are. I think this one is my favourite of the day because it still makes me smile back at them when I look at it. Those bottoms are packed pretty tightly onto that tiny wicker settee!
I can’t tell you how excited I am to be back in porch portrait season again! I’ll have another post up later this week with details about how you can book your session for this year! 🙂
Thank you S family for coming back to play in the spring sunshine. It was an honour to share a part of your Easter weekend with all of you!
beautiful family. Great shots Dani!!
