One of My Favorite Things II Katie Donnelly, Family Photographer France UK Europe

No one’s looking, they’re just being. The summer wind is blowing playfully in their hair, gently cooling them off from the heat of the city, there’s nothing set up, it’s all just there, playing out in front of me, waiting to be captured.

No one’s looking, they’re just being. The summer wind is blowing playfully in their hair, gently cooling them off from the heat of the city, there’s nothing set up, it’s all just there, playing out in front of me, waiting to be captured. The adoring way dad looks at his little daughter… the way she plays with her mama’s hair… quiet moments like these are the best ones, the ones you hope will happen, that you anticipate and wait for. In one shot, that’s their sweet, silly, gentile family together on vacation, just catching their breath in between the running around, playing in the gardens, dodging raindrops.

Witnessing and capturing that moment for my friends, my clients.. that’s one of my favorite things.

Ex: We are coming to Paris this spring at the end of March and it's our first time! We don't often travel so this is really big for us. I've been a Francophile since I was in my teens and have always dreamed of coming. I'd love this for my family and especially to be able to relive this special trip everyday on my walls with an art piece! My kids are 2, 5 and 9. Crossing my fingers and toes to be chosen!!
