Our kids are used to being in front of the camera. We frequently use them when we want to try out something new — they know what to do, how to pose and take direction extremely well.
The girls had pink stripes in their hair for the summer and so we thought a more urban location than Holland would suit their current look. We have photographed in downtown GR in the past, however this time we wanted to try out a new location (for us, anyway — there were a ton of other photographers in the area as well!)
