The Van Der Linden Family {Tapanui}

In April, the Van Der Linden & Reid families subjected themselves to a drizzly & cold West Otago day for some family portraits before Jojo headed overseas on an adventure. We used the Tapanui Racecourse grounds which gave us the Blue Mountains as a lovely backdrop (not that we saw much of them through the cloud).
Despite the weather you guys rocked & we had some fun, I'm so pleased with these photos.
Thank you so much for putting your faith in me & braving the weather ~ I'm so glad we did!
You'll quickly realise from the length of this blog that there are too many photos that are my favourites! 
I had a hard time stopping, so apologies if it takes a while to load...

Aren't these kids just too cute, they were so obliging when it came to taking instructions - all I said for this photo was 'nice and close guys' and this is the result. Love it!

And this is definitely my favourite out of them all! So candid & beautiful.

Anyone would think from these photos that something about me was hilarious! But I'm pretty sure I didn't have my clothes on inside out or anything... ;-)

One to bring out for their 21st perhaps?...

The blokes.

Hugs with Aunty Jojo ~ I can tell you are going to be very missed while you are overseas on your adventures!

And by this stage the girls had realised that this modelling thing was quite fun!

And to finish with trickster Sam... "Nailed it!"

Thank you again Van Der Lindens & Reids for booking your family session with me. Such a photogenic family!
