Playing Princess, tag, hide/seek and some kayaking...

This past weekend was filled with some of my favorite things. We watched our niece, Haylee Amaya, over the weekend which is always one of our favorite things to do. She is one of the best kids in the world and we love her with all of our hearts. Our weekend was filled with fun. We played Princess, tag, hide/seek and we went to Walla Walla Point Park on the Columbia River here in Wenatchee.

In between playing princess, tag and hide/seek, Haylee gave me permission to go kayaking so I got in a couple runs on the Tumwater with my good bro Shelby and some of the other bruddahs. We had a great first weekend of Spring. I hope all of you got to share the first weekend of spring with the people and the things that you love.

For me, I got to spend time with my wife and my niece, kayak with one of my best friends on our backyard run and play with my camera. This was an awesome weekend with awesome people and ...does it really get much better?

Here are some photos of one of my favorite models, Haylee Amaya

In Loving Memory of Mary Margaret Radel

Last Friday, I had the honor of shooting my Aunt Mary's Funeral. Mary was my Aunt in-law whom I never actual met in person but she will always have a place in my heart. I love my new family!!! This was one of the most important and powerful things that I have ever done. I can only hope that the photos do justice to the wonderful life and family that Mary created.

Mary we love and miss you!!!

Poaching bridal sessions...

The week of WPPI was an amazing week for us. We reconnected with family, we met and shared with new friends and we got to do a bunch of photo walks for ourselves. The Vegas Strip is such a fun place to shoot photos as you really never know what you will find. Here are some photos of a couple bridal session that I shot as we walked by. Just couldn't help myself, I had to shoot...
