courtney, your pics are so cute . you and your fiance look adorable together. we are all so porud of you. you turned into a beautiful woman, may your wedding day be everything u expected and more. love the lingerie crew
I'm reading your blog backwards. Taking a couple entries at a time. So you'll probably see comments from me all over the place lol. Let me just say that your posts are not only filled with pictures that are uniquely beautiful in and of themselves, but your words are packed so full of wisdom. I'm always writing down phrases you say and putting them around my house for inspiration. It is SO magnificently wonderful to find a sister in Christ who can give glory to God with your picture and pen. You are a blessing, an inspiration, and your words give fuel to my passion. I cannot even begin to express how you have impacted my life within the past few days of me sitting down and taking the time to read through your blog. So thank you.
This is an incredibly gorgeous set of photos... so much joy and you captured them perfectly
That last one is made of magic. love the magenta tones.
I love seeing your shots and thinking "i know that alley" or I love that brick. You represent Seattle wonderfully!
i've decided that you are either the most hillarious person ever, or all of your couples happen to get the giggles during the shoot! ;)
gorgeous pics! reminds me of my seattle days. :)
love the last and the 3rd last photos especially - beautiful.
Shooting at dusk is becoming one of my favorite things to do.
love love love that last one. I can feel their connection through the computer screen --- impressive.
I see love beauty and a future. Much creativity as well.What a couple!
The combination of your words and photos is one of the most awe-inspiring and motivating things to me. Thank you for doing what you do.
love love love that last one. I can feel their connection through the computer screen --- impressive.
Wow, I love them, really cool.
what a great way too make a mom and dad very happy, and we get too show the pictures and bragg how beautiful they are together. Dad
Love the reflection too... reminds me of the self portrait you guys rocked :) I LOVE how inspiration can spin into amazing execution!
A plus for me (maybe because I am a photographer - dunno) is that you are in the image. Because you are always in your images really, but here you actually slightly visible.
beautiful shots! -the lighting is so soft and perfect.
Such a cute couple! Amazing photos as always I especially love how your couples always look like they are having so much fun!
Love all of the laughter in these !! My fave is the one behind the glass :) Amazing as always !
too much, too much, too much. i just love them. every one. all the time. :) p.s. LOVING "start with why" by the way.
"we begin to feel & see exhaustion becoming pure energy and momentum..." I love this! And I love the one with the 'our world is getting a little brighter' sign!
What a great looking couple. That first picture is so awesome!

(jk, continue to rock, please, but seriously, very much awesome), just so you know...

All your photos always look like they should belong in some amazing art gallery. Keep it up. :)
How come your photos are ALWAYS flawless????? I'm jealous :)
Wow, I just love this engagement session. The couple are just so darn cute, they really look like love-struck teenagers (which after 10 years is pretty amazing). I also really love the snow. I was born in a rather snowy country, but now live in Australia (not a lot of snow) and I really miss it. Loved seeing the snow and the cuddles and really love your work.
