Tami and Steve

Last week my niece, Tami, and her husband, Steve, were here in N. California visiting from Texas. Tami loves photography (both sides of the camera) so we had to do a photo shoot, or two.
Steve loves to work out and is a power lifter and HUGE Arnold fan so we went to the capitol bldg in Sacramento to see if would could track him down, ... and it's a fun place to take photos. Arnold was nowhere to be seen but the state police guarding the governors office was so impressed by Steve's exuberant posing for Tami at the golden bear statue in front of the big double office doors that he allowed us to go inside. We chatted briefly with the secretary and spotted a wall photo of Arnold and Maria that got Steve posing again. Oh, he was like a kid in a candy store!

Back in Grass Valley we shot more photos at the North Star Mine powerhouse. I'm posting a few of those below, too. You've heard of "trash the dress" photo sessions, right? Well, Steve did a trash the shirt and pants session for us. He tried taking a shortcut across the creek and fell in! I wasn't close enough to help him, so what else could I do but take pictures! Ha. If I get enough comments below requesting to see one then I may post that as well.
Yay, Steve and Tami will be celebrating their 5th anniversary next year!!
