i moved to corvallis when i was 9. i've lived here continuously since i was 15. so i've got over 10 years of history here. my family had planned to make this their settle-down home, but they've all been trickling north the past few years to bellingham and seattle. i'm not going as far north, but i am moving to portland may 1.

may 1??! seems ridiculously soon with all i've got to do.

i'm sad to leave corvallis, and all of the people/places i've met along the way. but it's been so long since i've had such a fresh-start move and i'm really excited to see what comes my way.

and it seems fitting that i should take a mini-vacation before such a big change, to recharge and get ready for the chaos - so i'm off to doe bay with my family to enjoy the hot springs and spend some quality time with them. see you all next week and in the meantime, here's a little preview of a shoot i did this last weekend with a fabulous model, marie.
