Baby Claire Carlson | Oregon City, Oregon
The Carlson Family | West Linn, Oregon
You were two, then three, and nearly four! You are just the most precious little family—your love and adoration for one another is apparent. Tyler, you are so exquisitely tender with your girls—it is just clear that you cherish them well. Emily, joy is a pronounced clearly in your face, laugh, walk and eyes. And Chloe? Well you won my heart in about three seconds flat. I cannot wait to meet Claire!
Josh & Maren | Knopp Music Studio
This couple is a power team. Made for each other in every sense of the word. My husband and I had the pleasure of spending time with these two in Rome, Italy last year and got to know each other pretty darn well—we all four shared a teensy, one-bedroom apartment for 3.5 weeks, which definitely put us on the fast track to becoming thoroughly acquainted!
Among many things, I learned that these two absolutely adore and admire each other. They speak the sweet language of unity and humility to one another—which I have found is quite rare among couples. Ah, and they make the sweetest harmonies on their viola and cello. It is absolutely inspiring.
Meet My Friends, Heather + Calvin Lee
Taylor and I live in a cozy little white house on a quiet double dead-end street in West Linn, Oregon. Since we moved in two and a half years ago, we've absolutely loved getting to know our neighbors—especially the young couple, two doors down. When we first met Heather and Porter (her man, who was hanging out with my man outside), it was just the two of them.
However, during the snowstorm last February, we found out that their lives were about to change dramatically, as they were expecting a new addition to their family!
Now, this sweet boy, Calvin Lee Wallace, is nearly 8-months and is growing so quickly! Nearly taking his first steps! It's fun to get to see Heather and Porter navigate the adventures of parenthood. They're a strong team, working together, loving well and taking every new challenge head on. I am inspired by the both of them.
Here's a few pictures of Heather and Calvin during his nap, to commemorate our one-year-friend-iversary! ^_^
