Mirsa is a long time friend. But for my husband, Joe, their friendship goes back even farther. Mirsa and Joe were neighbors back in college, when Joe and I were first dating. They did everything together. Went grocery shopping together, cooked handmade egg rolls together, watched the movie Elf (way. too. many. times!) together. They were both attending school on the opposite side of the country from their own families, so a special bond formed, and suddenly they were each other's family. A group of us, consisting largely of Joe, Mirsa & their surrounding neighbors, were all constantly hanging out together. Needless to say, Mirsa quickly became a close friend. Fast forward to today, after graduation Mirsa moved back to her home in Seattle, Washington and found the guy of her dreams, Jeff. He asked her to marry him, and we couldn't be happier for them both.
Taking Mom to the Coast
Everybody! Meet my beautiful mama!! She came to visit me for a week and my husband and I were able to take her on her very first trip to the Oregon Coast! If you know my mom, you'll know that she loves to explore, exercise and hike to see beautiful places! Last year when she visited for our wedding we didn't have time to visit the coast, but this time around I had it at the top of my list! I just knew she would love it! And as you can probably tell from the photos... She did.
The Magnusons - Couples Photography
As you may know from my last post, a few weeks ago we took some out-of-town friends on a trip to the Oregon Coast. We explored and took tons of pictures along the way, and were so inspired by the scenery around us that we just had to do a couple's session! Aren't these two just the cutest! I'm so glad they were able to visit all the way from Florida!
Oregon Coast
Several weeks ago, we had some friends in town from Florida so we decided to take a road trip to the beach to show them our beautiful coastline. Joe and I just LOVE the Oregon coast, and will do anything for an excuse to visit there! But this time was special. My friends visiting are photographers too, so not only was it a fun trip to the beach, but it quickly became a photo adventure as well!
And here is a sneek peek of something new to come! Joe shot this image of me photographing an impromptu couple's session on the beach of our friends! Keep a lookout for more photos of them on the blog soon! Trust me, you're going to love them!
