||The Land Of...||

So I spent the last four days exploring the land of rain, good coffee and even better people.

A couple of months ago I was texting one of my dear friends who serves and lives in the Tenderloin (she and I share a similar heart and vision for it) and just for the heck of it I was looking up plane tickets to her home town in Oregon. I sent her a screen shot of this ridiculously good deal and she dared me to take it and I did.

I'm very happy to announce that, that was one of my favorite spontaneous decisions.

Not only was I constantly in awe of the beauty of this state but I also got to spend an entire day with the twin, her husband and another good friend who happened to be in Portland the same week. I also could not have dreamed of a better host with parents who spoiled me with their outstanding cooking and generous hospitality.

I'm thankful for Keeley and even more thankful that God created her and allowed our paths to cross the way they did!

Here's to ending an unforgettable year with one of my favorite adventures yet!

||The Absence of Noise||

You know those moments right after a concert or something really loud when the silence hits you like a wave and you can hear that absence of noise?

That is my current state.

I can't say I'm loving it and I can't say I'm not. I think I'm learning to. And I think I'm secretly hoping it will last a while. I really don't know if it will but for now I'm going to live in it.

Anyways happy Monday, T-4 days till we celebrate the most important birthday of all time!

||Ft. Ms. McGee||

More senior portraits, featuring the lovely Katie McGee! It's always fun photographing people you don't know very well because you have an hour to just chat and learn something new.

I'm excited to see where Katie's last semester of high school takes her and what heights she'll reach after graduation. So much shifting, growth and change coming her way and I know she'll take the challenge run with it.
