How lovely to follow my last post, Two brothers, with another familial portrait session. Sasha and Elena were visiting Kirkbymoorside with family over the weekend to take part in the town’s 10K annual fun run. I know them through their grand dad John, who is a fellow allotment holder, and last year I photographed them
