  • Cyrus the Longtube

    I know this is my professional photo blog, and here I keep posting mere snapshots of babies. Cyrus is so cute though. If the snapshots bore you then feel free to pass them by because I like posting about him :>)

    I always laugh because his little body is so long. I know it’s pretty normal, but it’s funny in a cute way. It’s like babies have a long tube with a head on top and legs on the bottom. My joke is that an angel came to God and says. “We ran out of normal baby tubes, and we need one for the Seim baby. Shall we use those really long ones?

    I decided I needed a caricature to illustrate my point so I took a picture of him and stretched it a little in Photoshop. THIS IS LONGTUBE!

    Note. He’s not actually this long.

    Yep he’s in for it having a dad who’s a photographer…

  • Wenatchee At Night

    I’ve started doing some preliminary shots for a series of High Dynamic Range shows I wasn’t to do that focuses on cool city scenes.

    I took this last night overlooking Wenatchee, and though this particular one is not everything I’m looking for I did get some good ideas about capturing the glistening side of Wenatchee.

    You can click the image for a larger version. Stay tune for more like this in the future.

  • Cyrus Fredrick Seim

    – 8hrs old
    seim-baby-1Well he’s here. Yep HE! Things went great during the delivery (for Sondra anyways, I was a bit stressed) He was born around 2AM on the 3rd.

    It was after the delivery that things went downhill fast. She lost a lot of blood pressure and started passing out. They me in called to help. I was working to stay calm on the outside, but I was so scared, and was praying so hard.

    The way the midwife was responding, I thought we were losing her! It may not have been as bad as it seemed to me, but the midwife sent for an ambulance, and they took her from to birth center to the hospital. She was more stable by the time we were in the ER but she still couldn’t stand up, as her heart rate would go way up, her blood pressure way down, and she would get really dizzy so they decided to admit her.

  • A baby here soon!!

    Sondra (my wife) went into labor this morning. Things were pretty slow all day though. Getting close now however.

    I’m getting tired. I think I need a snack or something. Anyways I know there’s eager people out there. When it comes I’ll try to get some infant pictures up ASAP… Gav

  • On the road again

    So after getting back from the the resort we stuck around home and relaxed for a few days. Now we’re on the road again. Right not we’re in a Yakima RV park, and getting ready to head out.
    We bought a 91 Jayco tent trailer, and are doing a bit of cruising around the state. We wanted to see the sights, and take photo’s and I just hated the though of flushing a ton of money down on hotel rooms. It’s a nice little trailer, and I’ll post some pics later.

  • At the resort

    Sondra and I are at the Coeur d’Alene resory. It’s really nice, and the suite we’re in is stunning. I’ll post some pictures of it later on.

    We’re about to go our to formal dinner at Beverly’s. It’s on the seventh floor and overlooking the lake. Honeymoons are so nice!

    Here’s a view out the balcony of our room. It’s on the 15thy floor corner, and the view from the private balcony is really neat. Sondra woke me up at like 6:30 this morning saying… Gavin I’m trying to take a picture of the view and can’t make the camera work lol

  • My Wedding Day

    Here it is almost 1: in the morning. I need to go to bed. But tomorrow (or today rather) is the wedding, and I guess I’m a bit in shock. Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking forward to it, but it’s a bit surreal. It seems like just yesterday I was thirteen and couldn’t wait to be grown up, and all that stuff. Now I’m getting to this stage where time starts flying by, and I’m thinking… “How could I be getting marred already”

    It’s exciting none the less. Sondra and I are taking a two week honeymoon, and are just going to explore, maybe shoot some nature pictures, and just generally relax. I’m really looking forward to that. I’ll try to get some posts up to show where we’re at, and what’s up.

    By the way here’s another picture of Sondra. This was a senior portrait I took a few years back. WOW time is flying… I’ll be old soon. Oh well at least I won’t do it alone.
