On our way back home from a weekend in Winter Park to celebrate our friend’s birthday and surprise engagement, Ryan and I made a couple pit stops to explore Lookout Mountain near Golden, Colorado. Any time we travel, I am always looking out (get it?) for beautiful new locations where I can take my clients. […]

The second half of our adventures down under took us to Melbourne. We took two day tours outside the city to see the coast and experience some wildlife. It was actually our first time ever taking guided tours like that, which made it that much more interesting. It was wonderful to be able to relax […]

Australia is one of those places I’ve just been fascinated by for so long. The unique wildlife, the history, the friendly and adventurous people. I’ve had visiting Australia on my bucket list for several years now, and it’s one of those places where once you finally make it—you just want to immediately start planning for […]

We have taken Kirby with us on several small trips. Heck, our first few hours with him were spent trekking from his foster home near the Columbia River Gorge back up to our home near Seattle. His first time sightseeing was at Multnomah Falls and he was barely 9 weeks old. He has been with […]

Last spring was my first time in Canada. We took a road trip to Vancouver with our friends visiting from New Mexico and completely fell in love with the city. Like seriously, I’d have to put Vancouver up on my top ten favorite cities in the world. Ever since that trip, we’ve been trying to […]

I wrote this post months ago, after our road trip to Oregon at the end of the summer. In the time since then I shot several weddings and countless portrait sessions when the busy fall season hit hard, and so it never ended up on the blog. But though the season is rapidly turning to […]

Well, it is officially September, which means it is that special time of year when summer turns to fall and we get the best of both seasons. Whether you consider fall to start the day after Labor Day, or September 22, or just whenever the weather starts to change, doesn’t really matter, as long as […]

Last month Ryan and I took a week off to hang out in San Diego with my parents and stop by Phoenix to see two of our best friends and meet their new little nugget. It was raining in Seattle the day we left, and it rained the whole week, up until about half an […]

A couple weeks ago, Ryan and I had two of our closest friends visit us from New Mexico. We’ve known Matt since the early days of college, where he and Ryan were both in early engineering classes together. For the longest time, the three of us did what seemed like everything together. He was our […]

A little over two weeks ago, we went on a particularly bold PNW adventure. We headed down to the Columbia River Gorge to pick up one adorable 8-week old puppy, who we’ve named Kirby. You may or may not know that Ryan and I have been talking about wanting a dog for years now. Basically […]
