Tube Action - Havasu

What is going to Lake Havasu, or any lake for that matter, without some tube and wake board action. In this first post you'll find some shots of some tube action. We all had a great time, adults included.

Fun Shots - Havasu

When ever you get your family together there are bound to be some great opportunities for some nice and unique candid shots. This post is dedicated to those shots. Note this is only a taste and not all of them.

My daughter took this shot of me for our slide show. I wanted a shot of people eating breakfast one morning and had her take one of me. Great job sweetheart, you defiantly captured me.










Yep, here is the one person who keeps me in-line, the apple to my eye, the blue to my berry, the road to my apple, and the thorn to my A$$ (sorry dear).

Here are just a couple of the critters that wondered about.

"Trash the Dress" - Havasu

We've all been to Lake Havasu during the last several years and have spent our days around the same beach. On either side of the beach there are some rocks that go into the water. Knowing this I thought it would be a great area for some trash the dress shots. I informed my sisters, who both seem excited about the idea.

During our last day in Havasu and during the evening we all got together for this shoot. Although they weren't able to bring any fancy or stylish dresses, they did bring a few things that made for some nice pictures. Before viewing these shots, remember this is all still new to me and I do have a lot to learn, but my sisters and I are very happy with the way these came out.

This first group of shots is of my beautiful wife. She is not easily relaxed in front of the camera, but I do think she is starting to get used to it and was really beginning to enjoy herself towards the end of this.






Both of my sisters are beautiful women and have a great look. With my first sister here you'll notice that she's wearing sun glasses, well I won't say why (It's our secret sis), so I had to work with them staying on. Even though she didn't seem as relaxed as my other sister, whose pictures you'll see next, but I was still able to get some nice shots of her.



What can I say about this sister other than she was a pain in the butt. She kept moving and talking and once I got her to stop for my shot, she would begain again. I have to say that I was very happy with how her pictures came out and know her husband loved the last couple of her.

On a serious note, I had a great time taking these and would do it again in a heart beat.






Here is one of my nieces. I was trying to get some shots of her on the rocks as well, but she was really grossed out by the feel of the rocks (slippery / slimy), so I ended up only taking a few of her.


This last shot is of two of my nephews. These two are like two peas in a pod. They get along so well and always having fun doing one thing or another. Just as I was finishing with our trash the dress pictures they asked if they can put some of the dresses on for a picture. This is just a fun shot.
