Lehigh Valley Spring Portraits - The "G" Family!

One of my portrait families contacted me this spring to take photographs of their beautiful little girl! She had this adorable spring dress but was a little apprehensive to sit with the Easter Bunny. Fortunately I was able to come to the rescue and shoot her spring portraits!

Here is a sneak peek from that session...

Enjoy your photographs "G" family!
