Anthony and the Beach

I want to apologize yet again for being so slow to get things up on my blog. I actually have a bit of an excuse this time, but it's not a fun one. No...my dog did not eat my homework! But my computer did crash on me. Yes....a photographers nightmare. I had to take a few deep breaths and be a problem solver. So here I am working on someone else computer while mine is getting fixed.

Enough about that...it's on to the photos. I wanted to get these up weeks ago, but better late than never. This is my sweet nephew Anthony and it was his first time at the beach and he LOVED IT!!! My younger sister Katya, my mother, and Anthony came to visit me at the very end of March and we of course had to go to the beach. Anthony had never seen sand or the great spanning ocean before. We couldn't stop him from running to the ocean as you can see from the photos below. Enjoy!!!

Tyee and Amber - Happily Ever Afer!

I was privileged to photograph this wedding on March 1st! Though it was cold, with a wind chill of I'm guessing something below zero, we still got some great shots.
Funny story how I ended up meeting this lovely couple. My parents were moving out of their house of 22 years in Cashmere, Wa in October of 2007. They held a garage sale to lose some excess baggage and this is where I met Amber. I was inside the house, while my mother and Aunt were out manning the sales and Amber walks in. In hopes of maybe finding a trinket or two for her wedding or new home. Well, little did she know she would be walking out with a photographer for her wedding. I came back outside, only to find my mom and Aunt talking with this very sweet looking girl about weddings. To keep the story short, Amber and I talked outside until it got dark. I showed her a book or two of my photos...and then she gave me a call a couple hours later. Now Amber and Tyee will always be able to say "We got our photographer at a garage sale!"
They were such a fun and laid back couple. There are not too many couples that would be willing to brave very very cold winds and trekking through the snow to "get the shot." But Tyee and Amber are just those kind of people.
Thank you Amber and Tyee for making your wedding so creative and fun to photograph!!
