This happy family found me via Google, and booked a maternity and newborn session. Expats hailing from Switzerland and France, our session was peppered with the beautiful sounds of the french language. We started off at home and then took their CHERRY Volkswagen bus to a nearby park. Alex has owned it since he was a teenager! I think you can tell from the smiles that they have a fabulous time together. I left them with a smile of my own that lasted all day AND vintage movie theater seats they were trying to get rid of, also hailing from Switzerland. Double score. I have wanted some of my own for years.
Baby Sacha will post on Monday.
The last image is the one they chose for their big canvas. Such a happy image to have hanging in their home.
