Chris Rudolph's Celebration of Life - Sleeping Lady, Leavenworth, WA

We recently lost 3 amazing and inspiring men.  Chris Rudolph was one of those incredible men.  He touch so many of us so deeply, and changed the way that many of us look at everyday life.  His charisma and energy were contagious, and his positive attitude gave us all hope that the world could be a better place.  Your spirit will always live on and your impact on our community is immeasurable.
We all LOVE and MISS you bro!!!

 

Carrie and Rob's Engagement Session - Wenatchee and Leavenworth

It was a gorgeous day to photograph and even more gorgeous couple.  Carrie and Rob are so wonderful to work with and they are so great together that it made the session so easy and smooth.  We had a blast photographing the two of them at some beautiful Wenatchee and Leavenworth locations.
Here are some of the photos from our session with Carrie and Rob:

 

Torch Light Memorial Print Sale

The loss of 3 friends has left us feeling heartbroken, helpless and wondering what we could do to help the women and families that were left behind along with the entire community.  We decided that the best thing that we could do was to continue capturing memories and telling the story of life.
  
So, here is the link to our finished image of the Ski Hill Memorial Torch Light Run for Jim Jack, Chris Rudolph and Johnny Brenan.

My sister and her family....

My sister moved to the Caribbean over 10 years ago and since she moved it has been pretty hard for us to see each other on a regular basis.  We absolutely cherish the time that we get together but it's not very often that we get to spend time with one another.

Heidi and I recently got back from visiting Nikki and her incredible family on St. John, USVI.  We got to meet our nephew, Alex, for the first time, we also got to learn to skate with Kaya Sophia and we got to hang with Nikki and DJ.  The best things for us were that we got to spend quality time with family, shoot photos and relax on beautiful beaches.

Here are some photos of DJ, Nikki, Kaya Sophia and Alex:
