What can I say about the Perce family? They rock. They're full of giggles and silly faces and good food and fun. I learned just how handy trucks can be (seriously...an entire BBQ, potted mums and all, can fit in the back!) and how yummy burgers smell out in the open air. We met at one of my favorite locations, and one of the locations for my family photo shoot promo this October. There is a super cute children's garden, where these three spent what seemed like hours picking things for dinner.
And for all those with more than one child, photographing multiple kids in a family can be a wee bit tricky. But you have to go with the flow. Don't expect smiles from everyone all at the same time. It just doesn't happen, especially when you're shying away from the traditional posed shots. But here's what I love...years from now when you look back on your family photos and see silly faces galore, a hat pulled over somebody's head, or a burger face, you'll remember your children for exactly who they were and be so thankful for photos that capture their very essence.
So, without further ado, here's the Perce family! Enjoy!!
So I say...let kids be kids! I love all the crazy expressions and the pure joy of just being little. It rocks!
This shoot is so fun. I think it is my favorite Freya Photography shoot yet! They seem so together as a family, and the candid joy really shines through. I love your style Erin!

Awesome shots, Erin! Yep, it can be tricky with more than one child to photograph, but as you say, just let them be as they are and the results will be priceless!! They're going to love these.

You really captured the feeling of joy, fun, and love of that day! You're right, these are captured memories and the kids will look back and laugh when they're grown ups. Well done, darling!
