A little over a year ago, when I was watching Trevor a few days a week and Laurel was trying to jail-break her way out of Tina’s womb a month early, I took family pictures that involved bare skin, body paint, and a bed. There are certain things that happen in the Rose family, simply deemed “normal”, that lead me to start this post with an image depicting the Rose Normal; i.e. why I love them so.

When Katie and I set up this shoot, her words were something to the effect of, “I really want to go somewhere with good architecture. I don’t just want pictures in front of a bush.” So what did I do? I took them downtown to Petco Park (where the Padres play for the non-baseball fans out there) for some great architecture, made them go in the bushes, and take pictures. (Insert sideways smiley face here.) More non-leafy greens pictures to come, but until then . . .

Tomorrow you’re going to eat a lot of turkey (or perhaps ToFurkey?) and sometime during this food explosion, it might hit you that Christmas is, in fact, the next holiday, and then a select few of you will go on to realize you still haven’t taken those family pictures you’ve been meaning to take for the past 10 years. If you find yourself in this tryptophan-induced quandary, worry no further! There are still spots left for my last Christmas Special photo shoot coming up on December 10th! Details:
