And that moment, you guys, was when Justin surprised Wyndser by…

The higher I drove up Mary’s Peak for Wyndser + Justin’s engagement session, the higher I drove into a cloud. As soon as I got out of my car my fingers froze. Yeah, it was that cold. And windy. The first two thoughts that went through my head were…

Finished off this crazy busy month of July by exploring Sauvie Island with Jasmine for her senior session! Hanging out with her reminded me of last spring when leaving highschool + adulting was staring me dead in the face (gosh, that makes me sound old).
