over the weekend...

this weekend chris and i spent some time together and visiting friends.  we went to spokane for an anniversary party and enjoyed spending time with our friends there.  we've only been back a couple times since we moved away, so it was nice to see everyone all at the same time in the same place.

and then after the party we went and stayed with ryan and kim and brand new baby ruthy.  i took
ryan and kim's maternity pictures a couple months ago and on sunday i had the pleasure of doing ruthy's very first photo shoot.  she is one of the most beautiful newborns i've ever seen.  this was my first time taking pictures of a baby and it was a learning experience but something i truly enjoyed.  i hope to incorporate more newborn shoots into my portfolio. 

this is an unintentional before and after that i put together.  its my favorite from my edits so far.

i'll be sharing more pictures from this sweet little family once i get them edited.  i am so happy for them all.  ruthy is just darling. 

so that was our weekend.  we ate at our favorite Chinese place while we were there and enjoyed the driving time together.  it was nice to get away for a bit, even just for one night.
