This was SUCH a FUN mini-session, with a super sweet girl ~ A well-deserved CONGRATULATIONS to Courtney Elizabeth! :D  ~ Graduating from Middle College High School at DTCC and heading to the University of Pittsburg this fall ~ She will be double-majoring in Theater Arts and English ~ Best of Luck to you, as I know you will go SO far!! ;) 

Courtney’s LOVE for books brought us to her public library for this session, where we had SO much fun……in a VERY QUIET kind of way ;)

This past May, my hubby and I went on a three-day adventure to the GORGEOUS and scenic areas of Washington State and Oregon ~ We stood beside snow hills which were over TWENTY feet tall, saw MULTIPLE wild elk, were deafened by enormous waterfalls, and watched bald eagles soar above us!  It. Was. INCREDIBLE.  :)  And I cannot go on enough about how IN LOVE I am with the trees ~ I wanted to bring them all home!
 
If you ever have the opportunity to visit this area, Mt. Rainier/ Paradise (among many) is a must-see!  xO
