Week 12 | Amanda

EEEE!!!!  I am SO excited to share this friend with everyone!  I just wanted to say that during Amanda’s sifting and editing process, I could not help but smile to see how much love and joy she reflects from our Lord.  I have a huge heart for this girl, and I just get so stoked whenever I see her beautiful face!  So, I first met Amanda around January at a mutual friend’s engagement party.  She was one of those people where when you first meet them…it feels like you’ve been friends FOREVER!  She made me laugh a ton and just enjoyed her spirit SO much!  From there, I knew I wanted to get to know her better and ever since, we’ve been on a great path to a beautiful friendship  :D  We took a Saturday for a fun mystery shoot trip out to Issaquah, WA to take these photos.  Both of us had just been EXTREMELY busy and so this shoot was exactly what I needed from my crazy schedules.  It was a new place to explore, and this city was probably the cutest thing ever–I want to retire here or something.  Our first stop was at the Pickering Barn, which is actually a wedding venue, haha.  But we really wanted to find a barn, so this was the only thing that came up when I searched for it!!  This place was just precious.   Found lots of pretty trees, weeping willows, and the red barn to take photos around!  After that, we drove up to Squak Mountain for the forest scenes.  There were many sun breaks during the rain, so the weather was just perfect, and Amanda was such a great sport.  The rain doesn’t kill people!!!  Anyways, this day was just filled with great conversation and laughter, and I just couldn’t have asked for a better Saturday.  This girl rules, and I’m probably going to live with her when our lease ends  :)
