WOW! Whitney and Nathan came to visit Nathan’s family as well as see each other, as Portland is a good stopping place for their two cities. I knew that W&N would be saying their good byes the next day, so the photos really meant a lot. The couple would whisper something sweet into the others ear and I could see how in love they were! I’m excited for them tie the knot in Walla Walla next July and I know that these pics will represent an unforgettable time in their life of anticipation. Hope you love the sneak peek W&N! xo

Baby Harper Jane is such a sweet and calm little girl! I was SO thrilled to find out that Mona and Jeff were expecting and my heart melted a little when I heard she was a baby girl named Harper Jane! Is this not the cutest name for a baby girl ever!? I held her and she was super bright eyed and curious about all the photography equipment and props in the studio. (A promising new photographer!?)
