happy spring!

I am so excited to share some pictures from the spring mini sessions with you!

As usual, you never know what spring in Salt Lake City is going to bring your way, and unfortunately, what it brought was rain and snow on the day of spring minis. So after some rescheduling and lots of flexibility (shout out to the coolest clients ever!) we scheduled for a day that was supposed to be sunshine and warmth. It was mostly sunny and warm, but the weather sure had me worried that morning!

Thanks to all of you for sharing your families with me in celebration of spring! 

This shot was completely unscripted...which is exactly what I love most about it. From the second you see these two together, you can tell that this little lady loves her brother like crazy!

Just have to make myself tall enough to see!

(note for moms everywhere: dad was standing just outside of the frame...
we wouldn't want any little people taking a spill in the icy river during our sessions)

This little guy was so awesome!
He was so excited to get his picture taken and asked me to take a picture of his hand. I'll tell you what...if a kid that cute asks me to take a picture of something, you better believe I am going to do it!

 

Love his little serious face, and that hair is oh.so.cute!

looks like spring to me!!!

This ended up being one of my favorite shots of the day...
can that great big closed eye laugh get any cuter?
P.S. Thank you to the actual plane flying across the sky for facilitating this shot!

I seriously cannot get over how adorable this little guy is in his hat!

Hope you are enjoying spring and that you have a very happy Easter weekend!

WOO HOO! Spring Mini-Sessions are only a week away (April 9), so contact me ASAP to claim your prize and schedule your session!

To the rest of you who entered...there will be lots more celebration happening later this summer when I return from maternity leave with a NEW LOOK (yes...hopefully a non-pregnant silhouette will be part of that new look, but smileabunch photography is getting a new logo and website as well and I can't wait to share it with you!) so stay tuned and don't give up on when I disappear for maternity leave. ;)
