I finished up the kids annual back to school photos this past week, which in reality, wasn’t such a simple thing. 😉 Taking photos of a two year old is never simple….but we did it and we definitely got some keepers. I’m really excited to have some new photos to hang in our home! Here are a few outtakes from Alivia’s picture day that made me smile, because a photo session with a two year old may not be simple….but it’s always lot’s of fun! 🙂
My children certainly aren’t co-operative for photos ALL the time, but through the years of photographing my own kids and countless others, I’ve learned a few tricks to help get those genuine smiles, engage children and make photo taking fun! Check out my eBook Don’t Say Cheese! How to get great, natural photos of your kids for all kinds of tips on photographing children!

Simple things Sunday is about taking time to photograph the everyday details that make your life unique, beautiful, and special. Each Sunday we gather here to share our photos with each other. To enjoy the beauty that can be found in the ordinary and to be reminded of just how important the simple things are.

She is precious, Rebecca!

You did such a great job. I love all the pics. The one in wich your little one has the tongue out is my favoured. 🙂
You have the most beautiful family Rebecca!!! Love all that happy yellow in those shots of them.
Beautiful children – and they ALL look so much alike! 🙂
So love the pop of yellow in the photos of the girl. Darling darling!

This is my first time participating in Simple Sunday. It is a great idea!I hope to do it again soon.
Those are sweet photos. Great job! I wish I had all the help from you and others when my kids were that age. Now I get to experiment on the grandkids but like you say, it isn’t always easy! Thank you for your encouragement and sharing.
Love the pictures of your adorable kiddies!! The outtakes are the best 🙂 Thanks for featuring me!
So sweet, you family is beautiful
Your oldest looks just like you! And your 2YO looks so much older than my 2YO. Maybe ’cause mine’s a boy 😉 and still has “baby fat”. Hehe. These are GREAT photos! Love the similar color palette and background. Guess I just rely on my daycare to take yearly photos, but a “shoot” is a great idea!
they are just so cute, rebecca!! i tell mine “no laughing!” when i need them to smile in pictures. might not work for when they really aren’t supposed to laugh, but, eh, ya know. 🙂
