Today I am going to do some mother/daughter photos for my beautiful little niece and her mommy Treair. I think this is going to be a lot of fun, since they are both so fun and easy going. It's also ok to be strange and/or weird because we're family :) Anyway while looking online for some inspiration for today's photo shoot I came across this (below) and just wanted to share because I thought it was great! I found it at the Pounding Hearts Blog.
