A change of Scenery:)

I just got back from photographing my friend Tiffany and her fiance, Jason, engagement session. I had such a great time just hanging, laughing, and catching up with them both. Jason took us on a little hike and showed us all these new breath taking places that were perfect for taking pictures. I was so excited to branch out and try something new. Thanks guys for being such great sports. You both are amazing and I'm so thankful that I get to be apart of your wedding day:)

Grabbing the shot:)

I was going through the wedding that I shot with Janey two weekends ago and I came across this first image:) I can't believe I forgot to post this..... It was hilarious because Janey was photographing the groomsmen on this super rocky beach and she decided to go super close to the water, but in order to get there she has to go down a little rocky hill. Well she made it there safely but the next thing I knew, around 50 people screamed "JANEY". I guess a wave almost took her out. Then as she tried to climb the rocky hill she started to slip and the groom came to her rescue:) Hilarious:)

Check out HERE blog to see the amazing images that she got from that wedding, there's no limits for Mary Jane:)

Here's a few that I took.......

Sad to say goodbye:(

I can't even begin to tell you about the amazing time that we are having in Puerta Vallarta. Today was a fun filled day, just like all the rest. We went on fourteen different zip line courses. It was amazing. We have the craziest video, which I'll post when I get back.

Anyways, we leave tomorrow and both Janey and I are so sad to say goodbye. Everyone here is so friendly and helpful. Oh, and did you know that Puerta Vallarta is Santa Barbara's sister city???? No wonder we love it so much:)

Here's a pic that we took earlier this evening. It expresses just how sad we are to say goodbye......

Amazingness:)

Right now I'm in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, sitting in the outside lobby with the cool ocean breeze, drinking coffee with my best friend, and listening to the waves. Oh ya and did I mention that the lobby has WIFI:)

Janey asked me to shoot a wedding with her here a while ago and of course I said YES. I've met the couple at several other weddings that I've assisted Janey on, and they truly are amazing. They've taken us in as family and made are time here even more enjoyable:) I cant wait for their wedding tomorrow. We arrived here Yesterday and I actually took a nap, can you believe that??? Well I didn't go to sleep the night before so maybe that had something to do with it:) Anyways, we just got back from an amazing dinner at a restaurant that a local cab driver recommended to us. Sketchy I know, but for some reason we totally trusted him. The restaurant had the most amazing setting and view, we truly were in heaven, however there wasn't a single person in the restaurant except the waiters:( Janey and I immediately broke out in a nervous laughter and thought for a second well maybe we missed the rush. As we went around the corner there was one other couple dining. I thought Janey was going to run and give them the biggest hug. Our waiter then said that we were his second customers for the night and it was 9:00. We seriously almost ran out right then. Needless to say the dinner was amazing and the waiter assured us that it was really busy the night before:) RIGHT.........

I get back on Tuesday really late so if you need to get a hold of me I'll be checking my e-mail every once in a while. We have no phone access at all which is a little strange but I think I'm getting use to it:)

E-mail problems:( SWEET BIKE:)

Okaaaayyyyyyy.......... For some reason my server isn't connecting with my Mail account, and the only way for me to check my e-mail is through my server. So long story short, if you need to get a hold of me then e-mail me at amy@albumesque.com. My albumesque account is the best and it always works:) YAY!!! Also if you think you can fix my e-mail problem then totally e-mail or call me:)


On a more happier note, I'm getting a new bike. Yes I'm going to start cycling/racing:) In September I'm running a triathlon with Paige so I thought now would be a perfect time to start training. So my friend Curt spent some time today helping me research some of the most amazing bikes:) I'll let you know what I find, but here's one that I was looking at:)

WPPI:) Whirl Wind:)

Wow I can't believe how crazy this last week has been. Just to show you how crazy WPPI is I've posted a picture of Missy and Amber the day after. They were breathing from an oxygen machine because it was supposed to give them more energy. Janey and I almost joined them but then we looked at Missy and as the time went on she looked more and more tired so we changed our mind:)

So many wonderful things have happened I don't even know where to begin. WPPI is amazing and I always learn so much. However, this year I only sat through one presentation and the rest of the time I was running around photographing the convention, working Gary Fong's booth, or hanging out with friends. There are so many amazing things that are going on in the photo industry, andI'm just so excited to be part of it.

It was so great seeing all of you. I wish you all lived in SB. However that would probably be a bad thing because I'm thinking we wouldn't get any work done:) I'm truly blessed to have you all in my life.

Here's a small glimpse of the fun times that we had:)



P.S. A big thank you to Janey for showing up the last 24 hours:) DORK:) Oh yes and I had to post the picture of us dancing. We were totally loosing it at the end weren't we:)

P.P.S. Kevin and Shaun......... Albumesque + Kiss = HOT
