Ask most kids what their favorite thing is about Easter, and I doubt you’ll hear suggestions of nice clothes and church services. Today, kids love the egg hunt! At our house, it’s a tradition to make tie-dye eggs (which we’ll eat later – yea for sustainability!) using science. Give it a try! Make a paste by mixing baking soda, water, and food coloring. Glob the paste on your eggs. Then, slowly pour vinegar over the eggs. Voila!
We saw Samantha’s photos from New Mexico, now for a trip south of the border. She enjoyed seeing the sights of Chichén Itzá, Día de Muertos decorations, and even the beautiful surroundings as she flew away.
Look at all the joy in these photos! This family showed up to Queeny Park with a few extras in tow. The kids brought along some of their cousins to join in on the pictures. The smiles are so genuine, it’s infectious.
Samantha has traveled to New Mexico several times during the last several years. Her in-laws lived at the edge of a canyon overlooking the Rio Grande with national forest on the other side. The views are stunning, even in mountainous deserts aren’t your thing.
Mother nature shares such beautiful wonders with us. This family decided to take their photos at the neighborhood golf course. What a great area it turned out to be! Throw in kids and leaves, and you can’t miss.
Samantha’s travels recently brought her to the Austin, TX area. While there, she was able to explore McKinney Falls State Park. She found beautiful old trees covered in ball moss, an ancient rock shelter, and water features running low during the winter.
Home is such a dear spot. What a great place to get photos of your family! It also shows great trust to be invited to someone’s home. As always, we love seeing the dynamic of the family as the shoot progresses.
We love having families that choose us every year for their family photos. We are so grateful for you! It’s fun to let the kids explore a little bit and feel at ease during the shoot. You end up with some cute candids, too.
If your family includes pets, let them come along on the fun. Obviously, some pets are easier to bring along on shoots than others. This family was a joy to shoot at Faust Park. Their dog did really well in the photos, too. When booking a family session, we can also get shots of just the kids, or just the parents.
We’ve also done work where we photograph products for clients. That means we also like to practice product photography on our travels. Here are some of Samantha’s photos of *things.* Some were for businesses, and some were to practice to craft.
