Petticoats, scooters and dslr. #Countrykids #springcarnival

Taking my girls out with their scooters is something that they really love to do. We are lucky enough to have micro-scooters for the kids which are so easy for the little ones to ride. Our smallest has been confident on her Β hand me down scooter since before she was 2!

I made a change to my usual camera and took my images with my little canon 400d, which was my very first Dslr and the one i now keep as a backup. I often carry it in my bag wen we are out and about as it take up much less space than its big brother and is much lighter! It takes some getting used to everything being a little bit smaller. But I am a firm believer in the theory that you don’t need the highest end of camera to take great pictures. The best camera is the one you have with you!!

We had a quick 20 minutes in between pick ups of the older ones and we headed to a rainy park and got the scooters out to burn off a bit of energy and let the woofer have a bit of a run. The girls has decided to wear my Doris designs skirts that i use for photoshoots. All my girls love these skirts and i can’t blame them, they are beautiful and most of the time they are off limits but now and again the girls grab them and wear them for the day. Often its a party or other such thing but sometimes its just the everyday.

Always good to have a bit of extraordinary in the ordinary? right πŸ˜‰

 

we thought this log looked like a pig!

    I love the dressing up dresses, they look so girly and pretty. Lovely photos Sarah, that camera really does give such a lovely quality finish to every photo. I agree with you on the log, I thought it had been specially carved at first! Thanks for linking up to Country Kids.

    Awww aren’t they just so cute!
    So is this the daughter off to school this year?
    I had a “lesson” on how you can take good pictures with anything – and that it’s all about lighting, lighting and lighting.

    those petticoats are just gorgeous – i would have loved to wear one when i was younger (maybe even now if truth be told!). its not the type of clothes i would expect to see for riding micro scooters but your girls look in their element and they make wonderful photos. xx

    Love, love, love these photos. Your 2 little girls look like they are so much fun. That shot of them scooting away in their dresses is just fab. Oh and the log is definitely a pig.
