The Easter Twins

Posted on April 17, 2012

Just last weekend I got to shoot Easter pics of Zara’s friends A & J. The twins came over for a mini-shoot wearing their Easter dresses.

Initially A did well but she became a little grumptastic a little way into the shoot. Her sister, J was good to go from beginning to end.

Aren’t they just so adorable in their Easter finery?

I love J’s expression in the last one! But you can see that A was starting to be DONE. It was here that I stopped to have a brief little chat with A. It didn’t take long before we reached an agreement. Cooperation for these:

I could eat J up in these:

It’s always better with a lollipop!

Such fun to work with these cuties!

I met Jackie way back when she was 17 years old and first saw me as a patient. She has since grown into a beautiful, smart, and successful woman: a finance guru, wife and mother of two phenomenal children. She’s the type of woman you hope your daughter will become.

When I heard that my dear daughter was planning to take her kids to Sears for updated pictures, I think my head exploded. She assured me that this was not meant as an insult to my “art,” but was rather being done just for the sake of convenience. But in true Mommy fashion, I then proceeded to sulk and sigh heavily with enough guilt that she and the two munchkins showed up for photos within the next week. (Yes, I do that mommy-guilt thing well!)

So instead of some photos (and I use the term loosely) from Sears Portrait Studio, she ended up with these lovely memories:
