One of my goals lately has been to take more photographs of my family and friends. For a while there, photos were just for business or blogging. But I’m realizing how much I want to remember the unstyled, imperfect moments with the people I love. I brought my big camera along to Easter and was happy I remembered to pull it out just before our traditional Easter egg hunt for big kids.
This is actually the first year there has been a little kid at the Easter egg hunt. Of course, our 15-month-old niece Eabha wasn’t quite old enough for the hunting part. We hid a few plastic eggs in plain sight so she would stay occupied while we went in search of the candy my mother-in-law hides every year in the shrubs, in the bird feeders, in the grill, and under every single plant pot. At one moment in the scramble, I looked up to see Eabha running and shrieking at me, totally overcome by the excitement, bunny ears hanging from her neck. This might be one of my favorite photos of all time. The hilarity and hubbub and perfect chaos of a family holiday, all in one momentary snap.
I hope you all had an equally chaotic and fun-filled holiday. I’ll be back tomorrow with a new Styled in Ireland post!
Just a few more from Easter because I couldn’t help myself! First, the evolution of that screech!
Post scream, back to the action.
Our Easter isn’t complete without an Easter basket cake! And we had to take advantage of that perfect green grass for a little photo shoot. Photo below by my ultra-talented friend Sebastian. He works at Nikon!
The grandparents being grandparents!
