We shot this on theeee most beautiful day in Portland. Bright blue skies, blooming, flowering beauties everywhere…. My husband and I just spent the morning exploring the city, and here are some snaps of one my favorite streets near China Town.

Wearing the Sunshine
Good morning! So. It seems I’m always busting out my trusty, yellow, J.Crew coat this time of year, and I think it’s because we’re usually teased with spring-like weather, only to be yanked back to gloomy, snowy, slushy winter (such is the nature of transitional weather, I know).

Blushin' Blooms
The day we shot this just might have been the windiest day I have experienced in a long while – perhaps ever – but in between mighty gusts, it was also one of the loveliest. Rows and rows of cherry blossom trees in full bloom, showering petals like pink fairy dust, was just a magical sight to
A Colorful Spring in My Step
