Dustin and Kandice Take a Close Second

For those of you not following The Amazing Race, we have the final update for you. A few minutes were all that separated our 2006 bride Dustin and her teammate/bridesmaid Kandice from a million dollar prize for winning the Amazing Race All Stars reality show. But even though they didn't win, it seemed like, more than any other team, they had a great time racing around the world. We had fun watching them these last few months.

These photos are of Dustin and Kandice in wedding and globetrotting attire, taken probably six months apart.

Kyle's First Flight

My nephew Kyle had his first airplane trip when my family came to visit us in Tacoma in March. He did great during the flight and staying at our house, even though we were without kitchen and well into the remodel demolition!

Fiona, my sister, has told me more than once that she feels lucky to have professional photographers in the family. She's probably right on that one, but the downside of having photos taken for free is that you then have to wait far longer than a paying client before you get to see them! So yes, even though they came to visit in March, I only just finished processing the photos. Here are some of my favorites ... enjoy!

Joanna and Garrett in Seattle

I'll admit that, because a lot of our clients book us a year in advance of their wedding, we sometimes have a hard time remembering the nuances of each couple. This is one of those times — I'd forgotten how much fun Joanna and Garrett are! Judging by the look on Garrett's face all day, it's obvious that Joanna's the absolute light of his life, and we know she feels likewise. They made a beautiful couple on their wedding day and we wish them many more years of joy. Here's one of our favorites (one of the more unusual photos) from their wedding; we'll share more soon.
