Welcome to Let the Kids Dress Themselves! We are devoted to showing the best and most creative photography portrait work out there. Everyday is different here so check back often.
Our very first post, a family. We love this family session. Why? It looks like so much fun, we can't help but enjoy it. This is family at it's best. Natural poses, people hugging, people laughing at themselves and their family members. Or perhaps they were just laughing at the photographer, Jonathan Canlas. It's the hallmark of his photography, everyone always looks like they are having the best time ever.
And I have to admit, I wish that girl's polka dot skirt came in my size. But alas, it was homemade by the mom, Maribeth. Aren't all the super cute items handmade? However, she has a blog and says she may be selling them soon. Maribeth's sweet dress was purchased from Matilda Jane.



















This is great! I love the shot of the mom putting on her son’s shoe. :-)
This website is great! I actually got to be at this photoshoot and these kids were adorable!! The whole Malahy family is awesome. Great shots of course Mr. Canlas.
