The mother of these two school-aged children reached out to me last fall because their regular family photographer was no longer available. She told me she likes to do a mini photo session of her kids in the fall as an alternative to ordering the stiff, boring-background school portraits. She loves to have a nice portrait of each of her kids from the beginning of each school year, but she likes it to be in a natural setting. And she likes to get a few photos of the two siblings together! I loved this idea and these kids were so wonderful during our mini session. They were ready to smile for the camera and had such great attitudes. We captured some darling photos and are hoping to do a family photo shoot this spring. If you love this idea too, reach out to me in the fall to capture your sweet kids as they start a new school year! And we can snap some family photos for holiday cards too.
