Family Hugs Are The Best

This past weekend Goddess' birthday brought my nieces and sister-in-law out to the house. They haven't been in a while due to a family situation but whenever my kids see their cousins, they are the best of friends and it is as though no time has passed (As it should be when it comes to family). As the family was getting ready to leave, my son requested his usual family hug. Everyone ran in and of course I had to snap away. Took about 15 shots. These are two favorites. In the first my niece Sam is just making her way through. In the last, they were all calling me but I had to get those shots. Who knew when it would happen again?! I eventually made my way there, wish someone had a photo of it.

In these photos, I just pulled up the light and added a pink overlay to soften them up. Wish I knew more technical terms, maybe someone could help me.
