Erie, PA wedding photographer | Heather’s Photography Blog

This is the second family I photographed while out in California. The parents are so genuine and sweet and their kids share this same attitude and kind hearts. The boys are both very artistically talented and are now exploring their musical talents; it was fun photographing them as they played their instruments It was so great that after their session was up the kids were surprised an hour had already passed since they had been having so much fun!

I’ll end this post on a triptych of the boys and their swordfight. It was totally cute that they posed for each shot and after the shutter clicked they moved to a new pose and then another. They posed all the way to their faces – it was adorable!

I wish we would have gotten to spend more time with your family, Solange, but it was wonderful seeing you all!

Getting the chance to leave the snow behind and photographing in lush California was a dream come true. I have traveled a lot of places but I’d never visited California before. I didn’t believe it would be so green and in bloom in February, it was a wonderful surprise and made for my warmest birthday ever at a comfortable 70 degrees before heading up into the mountains later that evening.

As I was preparing these images for the blog they made me smile so much! This family is so fun and spunky and they just unabashedly embrace life with a passion. The children were aware of the camera but it didn’t make them retreat or act nervous, they just had fun being kids and expressing themselves! It really was a treat to watch them. I’m going to kick this post off with a couple of triptychs of both of the kids; they were having a good time showing me their dancing skills!

Gilian — thanks so much for being a wonderful hostess and letting us hang out with your family so much, it was a pretty amazing experience! Hopefully we will get Kevin in some portraits next time! Check the facebook page for some more from this session.

Last weekend my sister-in-law brought her two adorable kids in for some fun in the new portrait studio.  We got to experiment with some new backgrounds and my niece seemed to enjoy having her portrait made for the most part – twirling and dancing and chatting. She’s growing up so fast! My nephew surprised me by really wanting to be in the photographs. I think he had a lot of fun posing with his sister – he’s a great big brother.
