Earl family [Paso Robles family photography]
November 30, 2009I’ve lost track at how far behind I am in posting sessions on my blog. But the light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger. See, October and November are just pure blurs, as sessions are taken, orders are placed, packaging is done, and orders get shipped and delivered. It is pure craziness for photographers and labs this time of year. Everything slows.way.down in production as everybody is overloaded with “holiday rush” as it’s called. But only a few more Christmas cards to get designed and ordered and I can breathe and do some shopping online.
So you’ve seen this family many times and the boys even more often. I have been photographing them for three years now. In the beginning it was “are we done yet? how many more shots?” Now, it’s more to the tune of “Monyeen, can you take pictures of us doing x, y, z?” The boys will do pretty much whatever I ask of them and their dad is always the entertainment to get the boys laughing. It is some of the best memories.
The very first time I met Tracey and was coming out to photograph the boys, she showed me this very cool oak tree. But at that first session, the lighting was too harsh and I couldn’t use it. We’ve just never made our way back out that road again to use it. So this year, the time of day we were photographing, I knew it would be perfect. and it was!!



Then a nice shot of the boys…..

and as I am balancing on a tree branch…. the boys start laughing hysterically.


Watch the boys run: a fun little slideshow
dad had put a beautiful cow pie between my legs, complete with a turkey feather. (sorry, I didn’t think to snap a shot of it). they boys crack me up. I love watching them grow and documenting their life. Most of all, I love the friendship I have with their mom. Tracey, you’re so sweet. Thank you for being my friend.
