love at first sight {personal}

in , , , ,

hello friends! just wanted to make a quick personal post to introduce you to someone new and very special - our daughter Djuna Beatrix. she was born in our home on April 17, 2014 at 2:27pm, weighing 8 lbs 13 oz, 20.5 inches long. we are both healthy and so happy!

these first precious days with her have been so amazing and filled with love and support from our family and friends.

i am resting for a couple weeks but already thinking of this upcoming wedding season with excitement. check back for some of my 2014 couples' engagement sessions soon!

it goes without saying that there will be lots of photographs of this child [but they will mostly be on my tumblr]. here is one to start. much love!

I had the best time with this wonderful couple, Ellie & Jesse. We walked around all afternoon, from their adorable beach cottage, to the ocean, to a special lookout point, and then finished out their engagement session at the Cape Meares Lighthouse. It was such a beautiful day, especially for January. Ellie and Jesse are both very kind and creative souls and I'm so excited for their wedding this July!

lucky as always to have been able to shoot alongside Jay Eads for this super-gorgeous wedding last August. check out Jay's post here! 

Melissa and Sean make a wonderful couple and I was really moved by how loved they are by everyone in their lives. Melissa's maids of honor gave one of my favorite toasts ever, and that dance party was crrrrrazy (in the best way possible, of course). I had a lot of favorite images, so please bear with me on the long post, and have a wonderful weekend!
