Tyler Ellis is a senior at Eastside Catholic High School on the Sammamish Plateau. Tyler is also my nephew, and I had been looking forward to this session for several months. We had planned to do the photos during the summer, but shortly before the planned date Tyler had a biking accident and did some pretty serious damage to his face. There are still a few small scars, and a bit of bruising even though over a month had gone by since the accident.
Obviously I have known Tyler for a long time, and we had a good time wandering the park and looking for good spots for photos. Tyler is a VERY good skier, one of the top in his age group in the Northwest, and he brought along some skis and his goggles to use in some of his photos. I have included a few of those shots, along with a selection of other photos, in the gallery you will see below.
