Olympia is a place of beauty. It’s bigger than what we’re used to but still feels like a small community. The road leading to our home is dense with moss-covered trees. It’s a sight we admire every time we pass. Trails begin at the road and twist through the land, which is now a preservation. […]

From creek, to field, to town. We spent the afternoon surrounded by the greatness of Nevada City. Hayden was truly a joy to photograph. Her sweet spirit is the root of her beauty…
