**This is a pinned post … after reading, be sure to keep scrolling for new posts** As most of you know, our creative community is pretty amazing. Each day, I see all of the connections we’ve made with each other, and as silly as it sounds, it totally warms my heart. When Gary & Courtney […]

HAPPY FRIDAY!! I hope you had an amazing week. It’s December, which sort of takes my breath away … while I’m shocked to see the year nearing it’s end, I am so excited that the days start getting longer in less than a month!! <- In case I didn’t use enough exclamation points: !!!!!! Besides […]

I really wanted to share a little peek at our Thanksgiving weekend we spent on the Oregon coast. Holiday life is a bit different when you are away from family, and it’s been such a blessing to have friends who welcome us into theirs! We met Matt & Alison in Lincoln City, Oregon for the […]

Four years ago, Jim & I said ‘I Do’. Since then, life has changed in so many amazing ways. I wrote a little something over on our personal blog, but I definitely wanted to mention this over here, too. I am so thankful to have a partner who is so supportive of my dreams … […]

This week was a total doozy. I woke up on Monday with the worst feeling: I was totally getting sick. After becoming a vegetarian 5 years ago, I just don’t get sick. Call it luck … maybe I’m just healthier, but either way, I thought I had something pretty special going on. So, Monday morning, […]

Happiest of Friday wishes to you!! As I write this, I am realizing that we’re almost half-way through November … how is this possible? We are excited about a no-plans weekend. I’m sure we’ll find ourselves on a hike or two, but for now, the only thing I know is that I will be sleeping […]

It’s a big day for us … It’s Election Day! Living in Oregon means we vote via mail. While most of the country steps into a booth to cast their ballot, we were able to sit together on our couch & work through it all. Sadly, we don’t get the awesome stickers to declare we’ve […]

Happy Friday … This is one of those weeks when Friday totally sneaked up! After being a bad blogger for some time, this week started a new pattern (blogging every week day). So far, so good. Here’s what happened this week: Personally 1/ Happy Halloween. We didn’t dress up this year. It was the first […]

We flew back to Portland yesterday after spending our weekend with Nick & Mel in Michigan. Photographing their wedding made our hearts feel so full. It was a little bittersweet, as Nick & Mel’s wedding is our last of 2012. I woke up this morning feeling so blessed to have not one, but two careers […]

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. As some of you know, I’m also a photographer over at Jim & Ravyn Photographers. While I’d love to carry around my big camera all of the time,  I am so glad that I have an iPhone, and even more glad that someone invented Instagram. Here […]
