Happy Monday, friends! It’s a new week, which means I am back to the beginning of my pursuit to blog five days a week. I’ve had several of you message me, giving me kind words of encouragement, which I greatly appreciate! I’ve also had a few people jokingly tell me that I am absolutely crazy to want to blog that much, which makes me laugh. Trust me, I get it. Five blog posts a week is a lot- especially when you add up just how many blog posts that will wind up being by the end of the year (260 posts!!). Maybe I am crazy, perhaps overly ambitious, or maybe I really just love blogging. It’s probably a generous mix of all three, if I’m being honest.

Because I failed to blog most of the summer and fall, I have a huge backlog of sessions to share! I am so excited to finally get Kate’s images featured today! This past summer, Kate was one of our amazing models at an Evoke Workshop we hosted in our hometown in Oregon. I will be sharing more images from this event of the other models we photographed in future posts. I absolutely loved the location for this shoot, as it is one of the many natural, beautiful parks readily available in Eugene. With all of the pretty sunlight and lush greenery, it really was the perfect backdrop for the lovely Kate, who totally embodied the spirit of what Young & Free is all about. I loved that about her.

Kate, I can’t thank you enough for coming out to model for our workshop! You were so much fun to work with and I can’t begin to tell you how much we all appreciated your patience and grace as we each took the time to photograph you. You are such a beautiful girl and I just have to say, I am obsessed with your gorgeous hair!! Much love!
