Ah, I absolutely LOVE THESE photos, and this entire family actually. They are family, and it is such a wonderful thing to work with family. My sister-in-law is a creative momma, who stays home with her beautiful children, and strives to create a world full of exploration, fun, and learning for her children (you can check out her blog Sense of Wonder, to get some great ideas for family time). But, she wanted to do a creative family portrait session, something that she felt captured the essence of her little clan. She decided she wanted to do a painting themed family portrait. It was awesome! I loved this session, it was quick, powerful, and FUN! The poses came naturally, the family was all smiles, and it just worked. This session makes my soul clap. Enjoy.
