Outdoor Family Paint Smash | West Hartford, CT

Last month we were so excited to take part in an extension of one of our unique offerings – the paint smash! This is something that is really unique to my studio in that I like to go all out! What’s the point of getting messy if you’re not going to get REALLY messy, and then you’ll see those smiles and laughs from your kids? My regular paints smash photo sessions are done in the studio for ages 2+. It’s a great way for toddlers to do something they like doing anyway (making a mess!) and enjoy themselves while I photograph them. Parents can even join in if they’d like, but most of the session is about their child. I’ve always wanted to experiment with an outdoor family paint smash and I found a family that was willing to try it out! This group was up for trying an outdoor family paint smash here at my Newington studio (in my backyard!). We had plenty of paint, brushes, sponges, and most of all…KIDS! This family has plenty of love to go around with 5 children. And they all were up for getting as messy as possible! They were more than happy to chase each other around, smear paint on mom and dad, and even help their baby brother join in on the fun. I love how the many colors blended together with the greenery of the outdoors, and for once someone was telling them they could get messy. Afterwards they had a fun time spraying the hose at each other to wash the paint off! Enjoy some of the (many) adorable photos!
