- Before I jump too much further into the year, I am taking a break from all my planning and dreaming to bring you my 2017 favorites! A quick collection of top images and moments from last year that I adore! Moments full of fun, boldness, color and meaning. 2017, you had your ups and downs but you we[...]

- "How about we grab umbrellas and try it?"
"Yesssssss," I thought. We were debating whether or not to scrap our original plan and go to a backup because of a SUPER rainy forecast for the day. Like one of those Washington steady-rain-blanket-of-gray type days. A day when most would probably say, "for[...]

- Last year, I took a few pictures of Clover in the front yard with some pretty leaves. I sent it to my closest friends and family, "Clover got her fall portraits taken!" As if I did it every year, and as if it was normal to take annual fall portraits of your dog. This year it only seemed right to car[...]

- When the girls are grown and off on their own, when their sticky hands and endless energy are missed, it will be memories of evenings together like this they will cherish! What a wonderful keepsake to look back on. Their album from this session they picked out today is going to be AMAZING!
This wa[...]

- Here we are- Part two! I had something a little different in mind for this round, but when I discovered the plethora of wild berries in our yard, I changed course. Because seize the day, ya know?! I say "wild" even though they are in my back yard so it seems so... tame. However, these are kind of be[...]

- It's summer, it's warm, and I just really love ice cream. Maybe it's because it often accompanies celebrations, or perhaps it is because of the seemingly endless fun, unique possibilities. Whatever the reason for my love of ice cream, it has always been one of my favorite things. I broke out my mom[...]

- With a little smirk Garrett asked me, "Is this making you feel refreshed and green inside your soul?" We were wandering through the Olympic Peninsula and making our way to Salt Creek Recreation Area.
He definitely knew the answer was "Yes."
You all know I love windswept mountaintops, moss drippin[...]

- When Andrew was asked what about Jessica first attracted him to her he said, "Her smile, sense of humor, and confidence." Us too, Andrew, us too.
On Saturday, we got to shower our dear friend (whose smile, sense of humor, and confidence we continue to treasure) with love and gifts as she prepares t[...]

- These are two of the kindest, most genuine people you will ever meet. Stephanie and Shea both take care of other people for a living, and I can say from working with both of them, they do that very well! They are both gentle and strong, a winning combination allowing them to care for others with bol[...]

- We share a love for large dogs and dramatic coastlines. For travel and adventure. We share an appreciation for analytic conversations. And a belief that every once in a while it is okay to not be okay for a moment. And when that happens, you sit in the fog of life and learn to let the good and the b[...]

Over the last year Garrett and I have treasured the many conversations with these two around a backyard fire or meal. We chat about adventures in Thailand, our love for the outdoors, the crazy pyro tendencies of the men when they were boys, and the best places to eat in town. We have shared our st[...]
