Between the glowy light filtering in through the pine needles and the girls’ outfits decked with sparkles and tulle, there was an almost ethereal feel to this session that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. It was beautiful, and it was sweet. A few years ago, I photographed these girls all dolled up for their aunt’s wedding (which you can find here if you want to sneak a peek at these two and their parents in the gorgeous bridal party). But I think they’ve gotten even more adorable since then.

And if this first picture doesn’t sum up childhood and what it means to be sisters, I don’t know what would.You know, sometimes pretty much all the time, you just need to take a silly break. We took lots!
They loved doing the first running picture so much, they insisted we do it again with their mom.The sweetest part of the afternoon? When I asked them what they each liked about having a sister, they didn’t just give quick answers without thinking, like, “She’s nice” or “She’s fun.” They gave really specific examples. My favorite was, “When we play, she has a really big imagination.”

Keep imagining, keep dreaming, sweet girls.
