Two precious girls


I did a photo shoot last week for a dear friend of mine. She has two adorable girls, and I have been wanting to photograph her girls for a long time. I took a few snapshoots of them last spring when I first purchased my camera. Since then, I have been begging my friend for the opportunity to have a photo shoot with her little ones. Last Saturday was finally the day. I don't think I anticipated them to be nearly as energetic as they ended up being. I am happy that I was able to capture some decent shots because they were always on the move. Of course, I find that the non-posed pictures are the ones I end up liking the best.



At the last minute, I decided to clip two flowers from the planter at my house. I didn't know if I would even use the flowers, but I was thinking it might be fun to have them hold the flowers if the opportunity arose. I definitely used them, and I really love the extra touch they added to the pictures. The flowers contrasted wonderfully with their green tops. Most importantly, the flowers held the girls' attention just long enough to capture a few precious shots.

My favorite captures are included in this post.

  1. I love that last one where the older sister is smooshing her sister's face for that little smooch. How precious!

  2. Thanks, Laura. The older sister was so cute. Neither of them sat still very well, but I am happy I came away with something. I told the older girl to "gently" kiss her sister, and she did so, but not gently. =)
