Sunday, January 13th: An unexpected snow day. Monday, January 14th: Been enjoying watching “I Love Lucy” on Hulu lately. I’m a big Lucille Ball fan. Tuesday, January 15th: And thus a new routine begins. My braces were put on. Just the top ones for now. In 6 weeks they will shave down two of my molars and put braces on my bottom teeth. I’m sure I will have a lot more to say on the matter once the pain subsides a bit… Wednesday, January 16th: My first time making gluten free gnocchi. Pretty proud. Thursday, January 17th: I just can’t get over how beautiful citrus is. Friday, January 18th: A little studio visit to discuss an exciting project. Saturday, January 19th: Had lots of fun…

On labor day, we visited Cory’s family. His grandma lives on an 88 acre farm out in the middle of nowhere. You would never know it was there unless someone purposely took you there. You travel along winding, gravel and dirt roads where you eventually come to a clearing with a farm. It was such a lovely day out so we took advantage of it and went on a photowalk before dinner. We had a little friend by the name of Boots follow us along. It made me long for a kitten that much more! Cory’s brother Casy dug us up some potatoes and garlic from the garden. They wanted to send us home with some cabbage too, but as you will see in the photos…
No, no, no. When I say beaver bbq I’m not saying I went to a bbq where they served beaver. The Beaver BBQ is an annual BBQ hosted by the Johnson family at their farm as a tribute to their love of the Oregon State Beavers. Whitney and Dave invited Cory and I. It was such a pleasure to finally meet these two face to face after admiring/internet stalking them for the past few years. They are such a sweet couple and I’m so happy for them: they are recently engaged, don’t you know!? I also got to meet so many lovely, talented photographers and bloggers: Nicolle (and her lovely son), Debbie and Vanessa to name a few. I didn’t feel like being too…

Have you ever been to Sammy’s Flowers? I picked out the flowers for my wedding bouquet there and whenever I’m wandering around 23rd, I always make sure to walk over to Sammy’s and take a look at what they have in. Nothing beats the beauty of nature. Cory and I couldn’t resist taking a sedum home for our dining room table. Twitter / Facebook / Instagram / Pinterest / Illustration / Etsy

We toured the first floor, the second floor and the basement of the mansion, now lets take a look at the outside of the mansion and the wonderful grounds that surround it. I was completely taken aback by all the lovely flowers. We even found a bird’s nest in a bush by the gardener’s cottage (which I would totally live in by the way). Oh, and did I mention the striking views of the city? Magical. Just magical. I can’t wait to pack a picnic and visit again. Twitter / Facebook / Instagram / Pinterest / Illustration / Etsy

A have a series of extra special Saturdays coming up. It actually all started this past Saturday. I got to go see a special show with my sweetheart. Next Saturday I get to dress in cap, gown and academic hood and receive my Master’s of Art in Education. And then the Saturday after that I get to marry the love of my life. It’s all pretty surreal. Between finishing up school, preparing to move and planning a wedding, I haven’t had as much time as I would like to go out and take photographs. But, last Saturday I made a point of taking my camera(s) with me to capture some special time spent with Cory. It was an especially gorgeous day. I mentioned in my last post how…

We had been discussing for quite some time how amazing it would be if Cory and I joined forces and started posting original images to go along with the interviews on Cory’s blog, “Boy Meets Music.” We finally made it happen and have been collaborating with local bands and musicians the last few months. We met with Ponny Kosmas, aka Mars Water, on a Sunday afternoon and decided to take a little hike together. Read the full interview and see more photographs here.

It’s November 1st which means that it’s time for 30 Days of Gratitude. I had been toying with the idea of doing a photo project this month so when Kristin and Xanthe both reminded me with their lovely photographs today about the project, I knew it was exactly what I had been looking to do. I’m grateful for the great big beautiful tree that grows right next to our patio. This time of year, its leaves turn the brightest of yellows and every time I walk past our sliding glass door, I can’t help but smile.
