So, I wonder if I'm post processing too late?
I mean, it is almost 3am, after all. The later I stay up, the more out of my element I'm getting with my post processing tonight. I'm not sure why that is.
I went out on a shoot of sorts with my friend Misti and her sweet, sweet family. Her husband, Jeremy, happens to be the pastor at our rockin' awesome church Stonewater. (If you're in the area, you should definitely check it out. Love, love, LOVE it!) Anyway, I can't really recall the last family shoot I did. They always make me terribly nervous. I'm a wide open aperture kinda gal. Families freak me out because of all the people & getting everyone in focus, you know? But, with shooting such a young, gorgeous, FUN family, I thought I better relax & go for it, right? It's not often that you get a family like this (in small town Texas, anyway) that sees eye to eye with my shooting style.
We hit several locations that I've never hit before. Can I just say that I'm IN LOVE with a new little alley way? It's an alley, but it's an alley with charm. Must. Go. Back. There. :)
Anyway, so, I post processed all of these the way I normally do. But, then I kept at it. It's LATE, so if the processing is whacked, I'm blaming it on the hour. Okay? Good.
Maybe my fave:

These are great. I don't know anything about post processing - but I know I love these and I'm sure they will too! Love that storyboard involving the stairs!
amateur vote #2 - I like these as well. And I enjoyed my visit to your church, too!
I know nothing about this processing you speak of either, but they are great! My favorites are the ones on the stairs. Good job Amy!
hello. dont really remember how i came across your blog a few weeks ago but, i am a little weirded out on how much your daughter (the one in the cowgirl pics) looks like mine... especially the one of her kissy face. check out my blog and see. my daughers name is laykin and there are some recent posts of her... CRAZY!
ughhh! I so struggle with family shoots and these are awesome!
I need to try again!
(this is Jackie, not Jay!)
yayyyyy! Yay, yay, yay!!!!! Amy is back posting. Not that I'm saying anything...really. But, yay!
Love these. Love the stairway. Great job.
Keep posting ;)
Hey Amy.
I love these. The stairs are my favorite too. Sorry I missed your b-day. I wish I could be there.
Love you all.

WOW! Those are AMAZING! Love 'em. You WAY beat me, I gave in to my burning eyes at midnight - but made it long enough to play!
These are awesome- and I love the processing! :) Loving that brick wall!
I am a wide open girl, too. Love my 85mm and my 50mm so I am curious what lens you used for these? I've been trying to decide what would be a good one to have for shots like this.
These are perfect! The process looks awesome!
Hi Amy ... I was reading the comments of the last photos of Maya ... Don't allow the use of the photos. It's horrible. Say NO for them. I think you should tell your readers to give their e-mails for you and turn your blog private. They did it with me too, just for it i'm telling you. Don't Permit them, plese, for your sake. With love, Giulia B.
They talked with me. And they talked we don't need to block our blogs, and nobody will use our photos. I'm more calm now. Sorry if I scared you with my comment, Amy. Xoxo, Gilia.
Amy-love these pictures. I struggle with family shoots as well. The processing is great. Maybe my next shoot I should just relax too. Love them!!
OMG!!! I LOVE these pics! My favorite is the stair one with the kids looking down on the parents! I want you to take us there!!!
I was surprised to read that it's not often you get a family who sees eye to eye with your style. Really??? I think your style is GREAT! Your post-processing is amazing, I think. I love your photography.

I INSANELY love the one of the kids on the stairs peeking down at their parents- THAT is perfection to me! :D
love them all! I like the guy in the background also.
with gorgeous PP-ing like that - you can do it anytime - 3am is NEVER too late (unless of course you have four children under the age of 5 that get up at 6am!)
wow amy! great...everything! i have to say my absolute favorite is the husband/wife storyboard! simply in love with the series!
Hi Amy... I've admired your work on ILP and ran across this old post when looking at your stockyards pics...
Love the brick wall with the staircase... Do you mind sharing where it is?
