I forced my ever anxious kiddos to dress up in their Easter clothes for a photo shoot the other day...it happened to be the day with the most wind, but I thought I would go for it anyway. I was excited to try out a new spot, out in a little town about 20 minutes away.
I got a little nervous as I was driving into this little town...when I saw at the stop light parked next to me, a woman driving her beat-up jeep holding a can of beer...then I saw the guy next to her holding a bottle of some kind of booze...and then to top it off the guy in the back was HOLDING a baby with a can of beer in his hand!!!! (I know I should of called the cops, but my thought was to get the heck away from them...I think I was just in shock and I couldn't believe my eyes!!! I will call the cops next time though, I promise!)
We made it to our destination...the old Santa Fe Depot Museum. I loved the location for my kids, I didn't have to do as much bribing, because there was old train cars to climb and play on.

I was asking them to hold hands...and of course Taylor refused, but not without a pouting face. I love the way Maddie is looking at her brother though.
I was also having a little fun with my new editing software, these are a few of the presets I played around with.
The kids loved climbing on the train cars... Taylor had a little too much fun and got his hands black from climbing. Oh...and to get Taylor to even take these pictures, I let him keep his jean shorts on, instead of his khaki's...which I think ended up being a good thing, considering all the stuff he got into!
I love the way Maddie's eyes are closed and the wind is blowing her hair...it's almost as if the train is moving!
Maddie's "Tippi Toes" classes are paying off...check her out!
Happy Easter!

I love the pictures! I love the train they are on! Makes for a really cute background! Your kids are too cute!
That Maddie is one little diva! I love how she is posing perfectly for every picture...even trying to hold Taylor's unwilling hand (I also love her face in that one). Her dress is so cute! I want to be a little girl again so I can wear cute dresses for Easter!
