Backlit Photos

My girls had a couple of friends over for a play date, and I thought it was the perfect time for an impromptu photo mini shoot. The weather in the Midwest has been total crap this spring, but since the sun was actually shining I wanted to try some backlit shots. And I followed a tip I found on Pinterest while working with kids--tell them not to smile and no giggling allowed. They laughed hysterically and I ended up with some authentic smiles. What could be better than that?







The last one is my favorite. Could they be any cuter? I am totally biased of course. But seriously?? Oh, and just so you know, the crap weather returned. It was snowing today. Yep, snowing.
