Howards – 2023
Probably well past time I shared some pictures from the Howard Family Photo Shoot of 2023. As was traditional, the lighting conditions were super harsh. We went to McFarland Park to take picture near the lake and when we got there, the lake had been drained. So… everything went according… Read More »Howards – 2023

The 2022 Howards – Vol. 2
Time for another Formal Portrait Sunday. Last Sunday I accidentally refers to this collection as the 2023 Howards. My proofreader, that only proofreads after I publish alerted me to this right away.

The 2022 Howards – Vol. 1
So here we are. Another Formal Portrait Sunday. I think I’ve finally figured out how I want to handle these in the future. I think I will still space them out, but not over so many posts. 2 to 3 posts per formal portrait sitting should be more than enough.… Read More »The 2022 Howards – Vol. 1

It has been 5,795 days since August 9, 2006. 5,795 days since I first took keyboard in hand and started the blog portion of the Photography 139 website.
