I’ve been at Hayden Lake, in Idaho, the past couple of days and will be here for another week, staying with my mom. My brother, Scott, and his family are here right now as well. Yesterday I rode in the boat while Scott took the girls (nieces, Samantha, Sydney and friend, Sarah) tubing on the lake. What fun, remembering the days Scott and I used to do that for hours, days and weeks on end, but ohhh, I don’t think my body could handle that anymore!!!! Much more fun to watch, laugh and of course, photograph!! I got some cute shots, and the girls loved seeing what they went through while out there! With the choppy waters, I ended up deleting many as it was hard to keep the camera focused on them. Enjoy!

WHOA!!!

Look, no hands! :~)

Piece of cake…this is easy…

YIKES…hold on tight!!!!!!!!!!!

Sydney and Sarah survived the ride…and for Sarah, it was her second one since she rode with Samantha earlier…wow, those arms have got to be sore!

This past weekend we had the pleasure of photographing a wedding for a darling couple in Leavenworth, Washington. Friday afternoon we headed over the pass, the drive was a little over two hours and the clouds cleared as soon as we reached the pass…it was nice to see the sun! Andrew Shultz and Cayse Harum were the bride and groom and we had met them earlier this spring and had been looking forward to capturing a special day in their lives. Friday evening we were at the rehearsal and had the pleasure of meeting both of their families (we already knew Andrew’s dad and step-mom, Lee and Millie) and the wedding party. What a great group! Featherwinds Inn, about 15 miles outside of Leavenworth is where this event took place. What a lovely place and the staff there was very helpful. The wedding was Saturday at 5:30, so we had some sunshine to contend with, but that sure beats rain and/or wind…it really was a lovely evening! Here are some photos from the wedding!

The bride making final adjustments to her gown with the help of her bridesmaids. Her dress was handmade by her mom, also her maid of honor, and it was GORGEOUS…incredible work, Cindy!

Cayse gets a hug from her dad, Chet, before becoming “Mrs. Andrew Shultz!”

Andrew finally gets a chance to see his bride, in all her beauty…a few moments for just the two of them before everything begins!

The wedding party…what a great looking group!

The first dance as “Mr. and Mrs. Shultz!”

Girls just wanna have fun! I had fun during the dancing…slowed down the shutter speed and used rear sync for the flash to get this fun photo!

Sunday afternoon I had the opportunity to photograph the kittens again and I think they just get cuter each time I see them. Of course, they are developing little personalities and are more fun to try things with. I had two helpers this time, Mandy and Mallory, and that was nice to have their help in rounding them up and getting them back to where we wanted to “try” and have them! Jayden was also here, so I got a couple with her and them as well! Enjoy!
