We kept this week pretty light at the studio so we could focus on some fun family time.  The kids were home from school, it was Collin&#8217;s birthday, and we just needed a bit of a break!  Collin did have a couple of sessions with some beautiful Senior girls, one with one of our favorite little guys, and a maternity session for our dearest friends.  They were all beautiful, and I can&#8217;t wait to share them with you!  I love a week of great sessions!<\/p>\n<p>Easter weekend and the beginning of the week were for family, though.  Last Saturday we all attended a Fantastic Easter Egg hunt at Church at Sandhurst.  There were a CRAZY amount of kids there!  It was so much fun!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/easter09bl-001.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"418\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5150\" title=\"easter09bl-001\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/easter09bl-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/easter09bl-001.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/easter09bl-001-150x104.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/easter09bl-002.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5151\" title=\"easter09bl-002\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/easter09bl-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Miss CB was ready for the hunt!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/easter09bl-003.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5152\" title=\"easter09bl-003\" src=\"https:\/\/cmsmithportraits.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/easter09bl-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This was taken about 30 minutes before the program began.
