You guys, I am REE-donk-u-lous-lee behind on blogging over here! Wedding planning consumed me for much of spring and then I got MARRIED over the summer, followed by a move up to Washington! Needless to say, it’s been a crazy past few months. But crazy good. So so good. And while we have been slowly […]

You might remember this handsome dude from his “Huck” Finn Inspired session last year. Well…a few weeks ago, while down in California for a visit, I got to hang out with Grant and capture his SEVENTH birthday! And you know, if you’ve been following on here for awhile now, Grant’s mama pulls out all the […]
