Yup, it’s still winter here in Ketchum!  During this past week the snow has continued to fall steadily with temps only reaching a high of 35 degrees.  Tomorrow is May 1st!  Will Ketchum continue to receive snowfall?  I won’t know, because I’m heading to Las Vegas to photoshoot the final round of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series   The photo below was taken with my Canon G10 point and shoot outside my office window at 9am MST.

Two weekends ago I shot round fifteen of the AMA Supercross series in Seattle Supercross.  It was great to see Ryan Villopoto win his first ever Supercross in his home state!  To see the entire gallery click here.

The Feld Motorsports guys did an excellent job of maintaining the track!

The Seattle buildings made an excellent backdrop!

Chris Blose is currently dating "Miss Supercross" which makes him "Mr. Supercross"

On the last lap of practice, James Stewart collided with a tuff-block

Seattle was the first race I saw Stewart excited to take 2nd place...he was happy because he just took the series points lead!

Two weekends ago I attended the 15th round of AMA Supercross in Seattle, Washington.  For once, I had the opportunity to visit the city thanks to Transworld MX’s Forrest Hayashi!  We had a blast!  We first went to the Pike Street market where we saw the beautiful colors of the various vendors including fresh produce and exotic fish.  We even got to see the fish vendor toss the fish!  Then we headed to “Underground Seattle” for a tour. It was a fun-filled day that I’ll always remember!  Thanks Forrest

I shot a few photos from the hip to capture the people of Seattle

The original Starbucks logo

We were laughing as we were eating our fabulous macaroni and cheese that the man making the Curds was sweating bullets into the Curd batches!

Then we saw this sign in the shop that stated that salt is added to the curding process...

Over the winter I photographed the engagement photos for Jen and Patrick, who are based out of Superior, Colorado.  These two were a blast to photograph and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding, which will be held at Trail Creek here in Ketchum on July 26th!  To see their full engagement photoshoot visit: http://www.cheatwoodphoto.com/jen_patrick/

A few weeks ago Hillary and I shot the AMAZING wedding of Julian and Katie.  They flew out from New York to celebrate their special day and flew out 100 of their closest friends from AUSTRALIA!  It was THE who’s who event of the season and I was excited to be a part of it!  A few images from the occassion can be seen below:

I am so pumped to see my photo and short bio in the June issue of Racer X!  I have had images published in the magazine before, but to have an image published in the mag along with being listed as a “Contributor” in the WORLD’S #1 Motocross magazine is an unbelievable honor!  Check out my bio and published image below!  For more info about Racer X visit http://www.racerxonline.com

Last weekend I headed to warm/sunny Jacksonville Florida to shoot round 14 of the AMA Supercross series.  It was an exciting race!  Below are a few images.  To see the entire gallery visit: http://www.cheatwoodphoto.com/rd14sx09/

Last weekend Hillary and I photographed the wedding of Keith and Gretchen.  An absolutely adorable couple from Seattle, WA.  The wedding and reception was held at the Sun Valley Lodge.  The father of the bride made the ceremony even more special by hiring a professional figure skater to perform a routine during the ceremony.  Below are a few photos from the spectacular wedding.

I spent the past two days in the Idaho Sawtooth Mountains on a photoshoot assignment for Scott USA.  The first day was a beautiful blue-sky day, then the second day was blizzard-like conditions.  Below are a few photos from the shoot.
