Previews...

A few clips from last week's engagement sessions. Below are Jessie + Alan at the famed Betsy Johnson estate in Camp Sherman. The light, the venue, the couple - it's not often things come together so perfectly as this...

And Scott + Abby's session on Saturday. These two have a way of loving and being in love that makes my heart truly happy...

Swoon.

Happy Monday, M.

Shawn & Jill

It all started with a blind date. And prom. Jill's friend was dating Shawn's friend and when both said friends discovered Jill & Shawn's apparent lack of dates to the high school prom, they seemed to have the perfect solution. What could have been brutally awkward and slightly uncomfortable, turned into one of the most unexpectedly fun dates of their lives. That night Jill and Shawn danced. And a few days later they dated. And after a few years they decided that they'd be happy to continue doing more dancing and dating for the rest of their lives.

Jill and Shawn, I'm so excited for your wedding this August! From our short time traipsing around Smith Rock State park I can already tell I really, really like you. Your witty comments resonate with me and your personalities are so.much.fun. I feel like we could talk about anything and somehow you'd both find a way to make it absolutely hilarious.

And funny a bride & groom?! Well, it just may be one of my more favorite things.

Thanks for being so great, Michelle

Oh! I love this!

A Taste of What's to Come

I'm feeling quite blessed this week. My days are filled sifting through not one, nor two, but three gorgeous couples. Their pictures are the type of photos I dream of taking. Their love is beautiful and I feel so...well...unworthy to be the one that captured their story. I know you're patiently waiting for their debut(s) so I'll leave you with a little preview of what's to come.

This is the work that makes my heart sing.
