I had the best time with these two adorable sisters (ages 5 and 8) at Marcelle Vivretee Smith Park in Brentwood last week! We instantly connected over our shared love of Wicked, Barbie movies, and blowing dandelions. They even chatted about their teachers at Chapman’s Retreat – always sweet to hear kids who love school! (My own daughters went there too, and I was even PTO president there for a while. The teachers at Chapman’s are truly something special!)
As a mom of two girls myself (now almost grown!), these sessions with young sisters always hold a special place in my heart. There’s something about capturing that unique bond between siblings that takes me back to when my own daughters were this age – those fleeting moments of childhood wonder that pass by so quickly.
The biggest challenge with these two wasn’t getting them to smile or pose naturally – it was trying to narrow down their gallery to a reasonable number of photos! Every shot captured something special about their relationship and personalities.
What made this session extra meaningful was that it was actually a gift from Grandma to the girls’ parents for their anniversary. I love this idea! Instead of another household item that eventually becomes clutter, she gave them something that will last forever – captured memories of their beautiful children at this precious age.
This reminds me – gift certificates for photo sessions make such thoughtful presents. They’re available on my website for birthdays, holidays, new babies, or just because. In a world full of stuff, sometimes the most meaningful gift is preserving a moment in time.
