Maribel and Kids

Spring time in Bakersfield is well-known for the blooming flowers of the almond orchards. Last year I missed them, but this year I wanted to be sure to photograph at least a few families in them. Maribel is a friend from high school who has three handsome boys. They looked so great in their plaid shirts and pants! They were all pretty well-behaved and when they got a little rambunctious, I didn't even mind because we were able to get some great candid moments out of them! The wind had blown a lot of the blossoms off many of the orchards but we were able to find a few left. :)
