1st day of school!  by orangecrush

1st day of school!

I know, what are they thinking starting school on a Thurs! I had to mark this day! These are my little sweethearts, that aren't so little any more, walking to their first day of school! This is also my "push" challenge from @northy for a street shot up close! ...I know but they are on the street! OK, I'll try again tomorrow! :o) I have the next two days off so it's time to get serious with my street challenge! :)

They look like really good friends as well as sisters. Their hair looks pretty with the soft curl. What a lovely memory for you all.
August 24th, 2012  
This is lovely! You can feel the smiles in their faces, I had a hard time understanding starting school mid week but was told that it is easier and they don't get as tired! I think they meant the teachers :)))
August 24th, 2012  
Great capture and memory for the future! Love the muted hues. They look like they have a very good rapport. :-)
August 24th, 2012  
Very sweet, I like the processing; looks desaturated with pop of pink.
August 24th, 2012  
Ah, what a sweet capture!
August 24th, 2012  
@sheliwithani Thanks, Sheli! :)
@frida Lol! Yours must have started mid week too!
@salza They do! :) Thanks, Sally!
@tthompsonca Thanks, Terri! :)
August 24th, 2012  
Beautifully caught memory & love your processing :)

For the brief years that my children went to school, I did like getting the "first day of school" photo. This one is SO fabulous with the story it tells. Very cute!
August 24th, 2012  
They are so cute and look so girl-y with bows in their hair and chatting as they walk. Love the desaturated look!
August 24th, 2012  
@catwhiskers Thank you, Nan!
@sjodell Thank you, Sarah!
@m9f9l Home school? I have considered that! :)
August 24th, 2012  
@aspada Thanks, Amy! Very girly! :)
August 24th, 2012  
Yes. For um, 16 years now. quite a few more to go, my youngest is just hitting school age.
August 24th, 2012  
@m9f9l Oh wow! You must be good at it by now! :)
August 24th, 2012  
Very cute. I love the soft tones and colors.
August 24th, 2012  
Great to see siblings heading off to school together
August 24th, 2012  
If you've considered it, maybe you should just do it! :-)
August 24th, 2012  
sweet shot of the pair of them, they do look so grown up here, in their poses particularly - and wow, is it a year since that shot of their legs on the way to school last year?
August 24th, 2012  
oh how precious! and is that a hello kitty backpack? how cute! =)
August 24th, 2012  
Sweet capture! Love the way they've done their hair, it's so pretty. Beautiful tones!
August 24th, 2012  
@shannew Yes! Can you believe it!?! I can't believe you remembered that shot, Shanne! :)
August 24th, 2012  
@lingen05 It is! She loves it!
August 24th, 2012  
I loved that shot last year - and my visual memory isn't bad
August 24th, 2012  
@myautofocuslife Thank you, Livia! Thier mom is a wizard with the curling iron! :)
August 24th, 2012  
How sweet :)

Fabulous shot
August 24th, 2012  
This is one of those Awe! shots. They look so sweet.
August 24th, 2012  
awwwwww
August 24th, 2012  
This is just such a great moment captured, Jerry! Love it! I gotta say, I love the "Hello Kitty" backpack too. My daughter just had to have one too and we ordered one in off white with nerdy glasses. Just so fun!
August 24th, 2012  
Lovely photo. At least they've only got a short week to ease them back gently. :)
August 24th, 2012  
Just gorgeous. On the way to the discovery of so many things!
August 24th, 2012  
Great shot Jerry. They look happy to be heading to school. Love the composition and exposure!
August 24th, 2012  
Nice capture...they really do grow up too quickly.
August 24th, 2012

Aw, they look so bright and polished. My child does not start until Sept 6th! (counting the days lol)

Sisters smiling to each other! Love it!

Very cute shot, love the tones and how they are looking at each other.
August 24th, 2012  
Oh, beautiful.
August 24th, 2012  
Cute shot
August 24th, 2012  
Such a darling shot! They look like best friends, not just sisters. I've said it before, but this should be framed and hung on a wall, but you've probably run out of wall space already! ;-)
August 24th, 2012  
Great candid back to school shot. They look like good friends, in addition to being sisters.
August 24th, 2012  
@exposure4u I know exactly which one your talking about! I love that one! :)
August 24th, 2012  
Beautiful shot. I love the sense of camaraderie.
August 24th, 2012

August 24th, 2012  
Yes, kids are special
August 24th, 2012  
What a wonderful shot. Lovely. Well done and great perspective.
August 24th, 2012  
Precious! I love this photo, great capture!! :-)
August 24th, 2012  
Great shot jerry
August 24th, 2012  
Sweet shot. I like the way that you can see their expressions although there's not much of their faces in shot - lovely!
We used to go back to school midweek after the long summer holiday to break everyone in gently back to the routine.
August 24th, 2012  
Gorgeous picture of your girls (I don't say that lightly, I usually steer clear of kiddy shots lol). You'll be seeing them off to college soon enough!
August 24th, 2012  
Lovely shot of them! Their hair looks great :)
August 24th, 2012  
This is so precious :)
August 24th, 2012  
How cute! I cant believe I completely forgot to take a picture of my kids on their first day of school this year..
August 25th, 2012

August 26th, 2012  
A super cute shot!!!
August 26th, 2012  
wonderful! the shot and that fact that these sisters don't mind heading to school together. Not sure why, but I didn't like walking to school with my sisters. I was a crazy loner I guess.
August 26th, 2012  
Lovely shot of your girls. They look happy to be going back to school xx
August 26th, 2012  
So sweet. Love the touch of color.
August 26th, 2012

Wonderful - I love the way they look at each other.
August 27th, 2012  
Adorable! my boy goes back next week =) oh and i love how your wife done their hair looks gorgeous!
August 27th, 2012

August 27th, 2012  
Not that bad starting on a Thursday actually, only two days to go before crashing at the weekend (my four year old really had to get used to going to school again). Wonderful sister shot, and I love the way their hair is done.
