Coming in 2018: Seattle

We have BIG NEWS!… We’re moving to Seattle, Washington! Writing that statement sends a wave of emotion through my body! I am excited and nervous, which I suppose is to be expected.

Long Weekend in Utah [Wannee’s Visit to Salt Lake City]

Recently, I’ve been very backlogged when it comes to editing photos and blogging. I’ve had several sessions, a few small adventures, and some schedule changes that have contributed to me being so far behind. So here it goes… Wannee’s visit to Utah (which happened a month ago… Oops)! Day 1: Hike the Wasatch It’s rare […]
