Baby Shower at Brava’s | Lewiston, ID | Amber Tyler

A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to do something special. I got to surprise one of my “lifer” clients by showing up to photograph her baby shower. Her sister-in-law, Kayla, had contacted me a while back about the idea of hiring me as a surprise for Bree. It was truly so hard to not say a word, but ultimately so worth it because her reaction was priceless. I photographed Bree and Mark’s wedding last year, followed by their pregnancy announcement photos at the beginning of this year. Soon I will be doing their maternity photos- and then I get to snuggle their precious baby Nolan in August when we do newborn photos. I don’t get to do a ton of newborn photos, but when I do they are always super special, because it’s almost always for one of my past clients that have already become dear friends.

Ok enough about me, can we please talk about how AMAZING all the details are at this shower?! Seriously. Everything looks like a pinterest dream come true. Brava’s in downtown Lewiston, ID was the perfect location for this event. I love all the character and charm that this place has to offer! It’s truly a gem. All of the decorations were put together by Kayla. Cupcakes and cake were made by Jamie Kohler.

Pink hair | Amber Tyler Photographer

Today was a busy day. It was the official last day of school for my daughter, and it was also her kindergarten graduation. She has been wanting to dye her hair pink for quite sometime now, ever since she saw me dye my hair purple (I loved the look, but it is currently back to brown now!). So to kick off this awesome summer break I decided to do it for her! She absolutely loves it! She says she feels like a princess, mermaid, and super hero all in one! We used Manic Panic hot hot pink from Sally Beauty supply. It was super easy and will wash out after a while since it is a semi permanent. I love how it turned out!

Lily + Ruslan | Spokane Wedding | Amber Tyler Photographer

It was such a great experience getting to photograph Lily and Ruslan’s wedding! They are such a sweet couple with amazing friends and family that we all got to celebrate with for the day. This wedding was a little different than the usual for me though. The families are Russian, so the whole ceremony and reception was conducted in Russian. At first I was a little nervous because there are cues I listen for at every wedding to know whats coming next, but in this case I had to read body language and go based off of emotion since I do not speak the language. What I found to be so significant is that even though I did not understand the language, there was an overwhelming sense of love and presence of God in their ceremony. The families of each side took turns saying a prayer for the bride and groom, and I couldn’t understand it, yet I could feel it. Both sides were so full of love and pure joy for this couple. These feelings and emotions are universal no matter what language they are spoken in.

After the ceremony, we went to the church for their reception where they ate, played some games, watched some videos and slideshows of the couple from when they were younger, and their family and friends sang songs throughout the evening for them. It was so different from the usual reception that I am used to, but it was so personal and touching. A refreshing change up! Everything from the food to table details were all done by friends and family. They all put their hearts into this wedding.

After the reception we headed out to Farragut Park for the bride/groom and bridal party portraits. We had so much fun exploring the scenery that the park had to offer, and the light was so beautiful. As you can see below, this wedding party is GORGEOUS! Check out a few of my favorite shots below!

Lily and Ruslan,

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your special day. There were many firsts I got to experience by you sharing this day with me. Your families are truly amazing and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for the future for both of you!

Sincerely,

Amber Tyler
