Easter 2011

Two days before Easter we spent outside sprucing up our backyard. The day started out warm with full sun but by the end of the afternoon it became overcast and started sprinkling. We completed the yard work and I decided that it'd be the perfect time to take our children's Easter photos (because the clouds help diffuse the sun and create a soft light on the subject) but by the time I finished getting the kids dressed it started to rain. These were taken around 4 pm, in the center of our yard (no shade), in approx. 15 min, with a little sprinkle of rain...

I just love the hair piece I made that mathches my daughters outfit and how the browns work so well with her coloring!

I had actually forgotten about these photos until today... thankfully I got them on the blog before next Easter :)
