my week in pictures 16

monday 7/22 - sunday 7/28

Last weekend was a long one since me and Pat headed to Cannon Beach Friday morning to spend it with my family. I will post a little preview now and do a full post of the beach pics tomorrow. On Tuesday we went to a nice dinner to celebrate our 8th year anniversary after doing something pretty exciting that I am hoping to be able to share with you officially soon. :) Sneaky, sneaky.

my week in pictures 15

monday 7/15 - sunday 7/21

According to my pictures it might not look like we did much this week, but to the contrary, we were spending most of our time after work and over the weekend looking at more and more houses. I also had to play photographer for a little work event. On Sunday we took a break from everything and grabbed breakfast at The Vic. before meeting up with an old friend from high school and her fiance for a river float through town. I wish I had taken some pictures of this portion of our weekend!

Happy anniversary babe!! I seriously love you more and more every single year! I think the most has changed for us in the past year of our relationship, and I am excited for all of the moves that we are going to be making over the next couple months. Lets make our 8th year the best one we've had yet! Deal?

nate & alicia maternity picture preview

Our friends Nate & Alicia asked me if I would do a maternity shoot for the two of them who are expecting their first baby in September, a little girl! I have a lot more editing to do, but here is a little preview that I sent them in the meantime. Once I finish up I will post the full set.
