Impressions’ is a creative project by an eclectic group of female photographers from around the globe. We aim to share the inspiration behind what we do through our monthly posts. On the 8th of each month, we will be sharing 8 images that tell the story of what inspired us in the previous weeks: our families, nature, weather, or maybe even work itself! We are free to explore the meaning of ‘impressions’, and it is likely to change month to month.

It was easy for me to pick out my theme for this month because in April Victor and I took the girls to their first European vacation!  I still need to finish editing all images from the trip (hundreds and hundreds of them) and I will do a separate post of what it was like to travel with kids to Poland and Czech Republic, but in the meantime here are a few that jumped out at me.   For me this trip was not so much about spending every minute of every day exploring new places (like Victor and I do on most of our vacations) but about seeing the world through our girls eyes, watching them delight in the simplest things (like jumping off the steps or playing hide-and-seek) and spending time together as a family.

And now head over to Leslie’s blog (she is an awesome photographer from Anchorage) to see what she’s been up to!
