The Neth Family

I have known Jamie Neth longer than I have known any other friend that I have. We have grown up together and done some dumb stuff along the way but we seem to have turned out okay. He has become an amazing father and husband. His beautiful wife, Abby, is one of the nicest people you could ever meet and we have alot of fun when the two of us start laughing hard. If you have never heard the two of us laughing hard together you are missing out as we both have very distinct laughs. They have created a wonderful family filled with love and they have produced two great kids, Jacob and Paisley. I always look forward to the times that we get to share especially now that we are "all grown-up"(yeah right) and living on opposite sides of the Cascade Mountains. Here are a few photos.

Frien-damily

I know it is a made up word but it represents a couple people in my life. About 7 years ago I met a dirty raft guide from Colorado and an aspiring first year dirty raft guide like myself. Since then Shelby Scott and Bryan Kiele have become not only my friends but part of my family. They have inspired me in so many ways but most importantly they have inspired me to be me. I love you man!!! (said with a drunken slur)




Haylee Amaya

Haylee Amaya is Heidi's brother Trinny's daughter and one of our beautiful nieces. We have been watching her since she was about three months old and we are lucky that we are close enough to be able see her on a regular basis. I have also been very lucky to photograph her as she has been growing up and she has become one of my primary models. She is now three and has so much personality and character for a three year old that it amazes me. We love the times and experiences that we get to share with her and she is a very special kid. Here are just some of the recent photos that I have taken of her.
