the perfect age for "formal" portraits...






Many of us don't get our older kids' portraits done as often as we should once they reach school age, myself included! These are my girls, Alyssa just turned 8 and Rachel is almost 10. I actually don't get to photograph them as often as I'd like to, I've been meaning to do some outdoor stuff with them but I've been waiting for perfect weather and a clear schedule - both rare things! These were taken in the studio during the rainy week when lots of sessions were getting postponed due to the weather. They were in such a great mood when we did this, and I got more sweet, loving shots of them together than I have in any other shoot I've done with them. These have a very traditional, formal feeling to them I think. I usually prefer more modern, candid, funky stuff, but it's nice to have a mix of both traditional and creative stuff on the walls. (Gotta love their glasses, eh? They unfortunately both inherited my bad vision, but they look adorable in their specs!)
