First Day of Kindergarten

JENNS THOUGHTS:

The first day of school is such an incredible milestone! Following this adorable 5-year-old through her morning routine on her first day of kindergarten took me back to memories of sandwiches without crusts, nap times, and the pledge of allegiance.

A Day at the Park

Susi's Thoughts: Growing up as the youngest child of 3 siblings, with a gap of eight years between myself and my next older brother, at times I felt like an only child. I always wished that I had siblings that were close to my age to share the joy of growing up and playing together, so when I had the opportunity to photograph these four girls, ranging in age from 6 months to 5 years old, I was really excited to document these sisters interacting with one another. It was so interesting to me to witness how each girl expressed her own distinct personality while also sharing in a larger family dynamic. Jenn and I met the family at Ramsey Park, where I enjoyed spending time following each sister individually and documenting her adventures on the playground. We also took some time to have fun taking big group shots of the whole gang. The most touching aspect of the experience was seeing how the older sisters naturally fulfilled their roles, watching after their younger siblings with such sweetness and care!
