A Play Date with two sisters….

I was extremely excited on my way to this portrait session.  It was a beautiful Fall afternoon and I was headed to Fort Washington, PA, an area I know to be especially beautiful this time of year.  Not only did I luck out with a beautiful day and location but two gorgeous little girls were waiting for me at the door when I pulled up.  Emeline & Lydia quickly came to my car to say hello.  They were so sweet and adorable, as expected!  (By the way, don’t you just love both of their names!!)

I had talked quite a bit with their mom prior to the portrait session about ideas for the photographs.  Bonnie is filled with great ideas and has a great sense of style.  Also, she was very open to ideas.  We decided to put some furniture outside and to do casual and fun things like read a book, have a tea party, play with portrait frames, etc…   As always, a collaboration of ideas along with beautiful models, I think, worked out well.

Bonnie says that the girls thought of me being there as a play date rather than a photography session.  That makes me very happy!  That is precisely what I try to do for each portrait session.  I just want all kids and families to be themselves!  Lastly, one of the girls named one of their dolls “Melissa”.  This, apparently, is a huge honor and that makes me smile.  🙂

I am trying out a new way of showcasing the portraits… I hope that you enjoy these!
