What do you do when your Spring bluebonnet photos are cancelled due to Stay-at-Home orders during Covid-19 quarantine? You wait until it lifts for a front porch session that coincides with both of your kids birthdays.

Celebrating as a family with birthday cake, new trampoline and new puppy – I was able to document the togetherness in this Front Porch (and backyard) session.

Here’s to all the families making new sweet memories in these strange times.

1. How did you find working with Stephanie Friedman Photography?

We took family photos in the blue bonnets last spring with Stephanie, and they are my favorite pictures, so scheduling a porch photo session this spring was another way to capture precious memories of our growing kids even in these challenging times.

2. What was your favorite part of the photo session?

Even behind a mask and from six-feet away, Stephanie is magical with children. She put them at ease right away and had them smiling and posing like professional models.

3. What advice would you give to families planning a portrait session during Quarantine?

Plan the session, so you can share photos from the Covid-19 era with your grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Remember looking at all the Spanish flu images. We are living history right now. Wear your masks, but also make it fun by decorating your yard and porch. Show off all that landscaping work.

4. Anything else to add?

Only Stephanie can capture multiple photos where my entire family is smiling and looks good. She is a total pro!
