This is what a 1 year old princess looks like....

I've shot tons of newborn and lil one pictures but never have I done the infamous cake photos. I was super excited at the opportunity and it didn't disappoint!! What a great little girl to photograph...she left me smiling through the whole editing process.

Thanks Ben & Amy for letting me capture Maddie's 1st birthday pics!!!

Watermelon & the birthday of the GREAT US of A.

My two monsters loved making a mess with the watermelon!! We made strawberry ice cream too, but momma didn't get any pictures of that :0( they were so messy from the watermelon I was in pro-active clean mode.
As you can tell by the look on Zander's face, he LOVED the fireworks! As for the bug...well she decided to hide...better luck next year. :0)

Hawai'i Photos :0)

This will no doubt probably be the longest blog ever. It turns out I took over 1800 photos during our trip and of those I narrowed it down (with great difficulty) to roughly 200 that I wanted to share. All the pictures I took are available to view in a proofing gallery. Please email me for the password to view. amber@zaseyphotography.com
All I can say is Hawai'i has forever ruined Texas for me.

Here are the pics.....Enjoy :0)

The beautiful and emotional USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor

No, this is not a postcard....scenes like this actually exist in real life!

Waikiki Beach!!

Hawai'ian Country side.....breathtaking, pictures can't capture it!

Below is 1000s of acres of pineapples for the Dole plantation....the smell of pineapple filled the air at night!

Food Shots! my fave!!!

(banana pancakes!! Jack Johnson would be proud!!!)

The view from our restaurant during Saturday lunch :0)

This is actually someone's backyard!!!!

Our Luau sunset on Friday night

My snorkel king :0)

We're Ba-ack!

We are back from a glorious trip to the gorgeous island of O'ahu!!! Hawai'i was far more than I ever expected. If FedEx would ship children...we probably would've stayed and had the kids delivered!!! It was beautiful beyond words....and I tried to capture it on film, but the pictures don't do any justice to this amazing place!!

I took 1800 pictures and am sifting through them to find the ones I want to share.....so check back in a few days and I promise to have some up in the proofing gallery for all to see!!

Mahalo!

Tim & Heather :0)

TAACCL Open Doors Artist Reception

Last night was the reception for the artists featured at the Art Alliance of Clear Lake and I must say it was an unbelievable experience and such an honor to have my work displayed alongside the works of some oober gifted artists!! VERY HUMBLING! The photo below is of myself, Bethany of BQ Images, and Kara (2 great friends as well as very talented artists). We are standing in front of Bethany's piece that won a Juror's Choice Award. It is an amazing set of photographs and I strongly urge you go check it out! Kara had a beautiful painting (huge painting) featured as well! I promise to post photos of the pieces I personally had in the show over the next couple of days. The show runs until mid-July so if you couldn't make it out last night there's still plenty of time.

Side note: All three of my photographs in the gallery are for sale. If you are interested in purchasing please contact me via email. One of the two photographs that were on exhibit at UHCL has sold so I have the other one left to anyone who may be interested in purchasing a limited edition photograph. The asking price (frame and matt included) is $125. It is the "Garage Doors" 12"x18" photo (the "Watch Tower" (lifeguard stands) has sold). Please email me if interested.

MY Beach Boys

Andy has played volleyball for the past 17 years, both indoor and outdoor. Beach is by far my favorite arena to watch him play in. So much more emotion, not to mention the beach and the sun :0) Yesterday he played in a tournament down in Galveston with one of his former players (Andy also coaches boys volleyball and Eric was one of his guys about 7 years ago). Being their very first time to play beach together the boys finished 3rd in the tournament and will be playing in the AVP qualifier next weekend!!! Of course I just haaaaaad to take my camera along for the fun....and here are just some of the shots I was able to get.
