A Little, Rainy Day Stroll

I had a few minutes before the Seattle Seahawks game was to come on television, so I wandered outside in the rain for a few quick shots.  I love raindrops!

Shot a few images this morning before the deluge came on.  Then edited a few that I have been neglected since the summer.  Hope you enjoy.

 Athletic, fun spirited, and energetic!  Savannah is an amazing, young woman with huge plans for her life.  I had a great time exploring different places that Savannah had spent her life growing up in.  We captured a shot of her driving her 'car' and playing on her old, schoolyard swing set.  And the scenery?  Beautiful!  She decided to walk out over a creek for her last few shots and thank goodness she didn't fall in!

Class of 2013

Well true to Washington weather and the awesome forecasters, Tabby and I both showed up for her session expecting 60 degrees or so.  Overdressed and roasting in closer to 80 degrees, she still rocked her session!!  Tabby is an amazing student in the running start program through Roger's High School, and is looking at several different colleges on the East Coast as well as one in California.

 

 

 

  

 If you are a Senior or you have one in your house get in touch with Tabby for referral cards.  You will get free prints when you bring it to your booked session. 

At one point we were both cracking up, Tabby was so much fun to be around.

Tabby, I can't wait to watch you fulfill your dreams!  Keep aiming high.

Depth of field refers to how much of  your image is in focus from the front to the back.

Catch lights come from good light, they are the little sparkles that appears in the eyes or on an object.

 I first blogged about this wedding about a week ago in Part One.  I have many more pictures from the day that I am excited to share.  After spending the early afternoon with Heather and her family getting ready I was so excited to get to the ceremony.  I knew Cory was nervous and he told me ahead of time that he was probably going to cry.  My response, "you should."  And then I waited for it, with my camera at the ready.

 

That moment when the groom sees the bride;  priceless.

 There was a bit of an issue getting the rings on.  The entire chapel was in hysterics at this point.

 

 After the ceremony ended, we all trudged outside to do the 'formal' pictures.  As soon as we made it outside it started to sprinkle on us, typical Washington.  Not only were they troopers but they were loads of fun to photograph.

 A bit of dancing with the parents.

The beautiful cake, provided by a friend.  These two decided they liked the cake smash idea and really went for it!

 May this day be the first of many that the two of you get to share.  Love you guys!!!

Congratulations!
