ok, you all have GOLDEN photo moments on Easter! these photos will be total source of inspiration over the coming weeks of creative stuff… so we asked Jefra, one of our favorite photographer friends about how she gets such AMAZING shots!! we love her down to earth approach… here is what she said:

Easter is probably my favorite holiday of all. It has everything a holiday needs - pastel colors, flowers and cute little fuzzy things. Perfect companions for making pictures with kids darling.  In fact, at Easter most of the work for family photos is done for you because there are already matching outfits and cuteness. There are so many fabulous opportunities for darling, spontaneous pictures of your family at Easter time.

Here are a few suggestions to get you brainstorming for some darling pictures this Easter.

Hint 1 - get candy involved. or flowers. or stuffed animals. or ruffles - see where I’m going here? Generally, things look better when extra cuteness is piled on top. And you get happier kids.

Hint 2 - Try to catch the defining moments. Usually at Easter there’s some kind of an Easter basket and perhaps a candy hunt or egg hunt. When these things happen kids faces LIGHT up! Those are the moments you (and grandma and grandpa) want to look at over and over again. So get down low, on your kids’ level and if you have to shoot 100 frames, go for it, if you have to wait and wait and then SNAG that perfect shot - go for it. But watch for those moments because they make cute shots so much easier.

Hint 3 - (and this is my personal favorite) Shoot the little things. Egg dying. Putting the shoes on with the Easter dress. The basket. Running to be the first to get the candy. Making Easter cookies. Whatever happens - shoot it.

SO — your challenge this Easter is to grab a shot with all your kids and a basket full of eggs. Get creative here, but make it look darling.

Good Luck!!

Jefra
