This photo shoot has been a long time coming. A few years ago Earl's grandfather came to me inquiring about a photo shoot capturing his newly adopted grandson and his amazing moms. I heard tales of young Earl, of his spunk and curiosity, and how seamlessly he assumed his new role as the center of the family. Finally our schedules aligned and I was able to meet five-year-old Earl at his grandpa's house just blocks from Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis. We rode bikes (or rather, he did), played catch, chased the ducks, climbed trees, smelled flowers, searched for berries, and gave great big hugs. What a joy it was to share the day with this lovely family and to capture these childhood moments of the one-and-only Duke of Earl. Enjoy the photos and slideshow! (Note: musical selection was specially chosen by Grandpa Al.)
