Thankful for Them


S loves books, he will ask you to read a favorite book at least 4x, then he'll ask you to read another book, also at least 4x

My little helper, getting things back to normal after Thanksgiving


So helpful!



The job site boss, he's excellent at giving directions

G will sit and listen to you read for as long as you have time, it's a good thing Auntie Suzie lives closer to LA now.



Looking more like the toddler he is and less baby


Can't disrupt G's allotted 2 tv shows per weekend day


Always thankful for our happy boys.  Great joy!

Photography note: These and the TG pics were all taken with the camera on manual exposure mode and the flashes on manual triggered wireless with radio triggers (allowing off axis and closer flash placement).  Got much more consistent exposure results than if on iTTL but if you got the output/distance wrong on the flash, then you don't get the exposure you want.  Light quality was more than acceptable with a simple dome diffuser.  I like the spectral highlights of this harder light and getting dimension through flash placement.  I need to experiment more and the family shots are safe place to do it but it's not like I want these screwed up either.  Keeping the ambient and flash exposures within 2 stops keeps the two different light sources playing nice.
