Hi there, Jess here. Hope your Friday is going well. It’s been a busy week over here in Portland, but we snuck in a few morning beach trips and maybe one or two trips to some donut shops.

What I’ve been cooking: Pesto Pasta! It’s the perfect summer pasta and the kids love it. I don’t really use a recipe anymore but I’m sure the NYT has a great one to reference.
What I bought: If you plan on being outside with food this summer might I suggest you get yourself some nets to cover your food. They are the best, these fold up when not in use which comes in very handy.
What I’ve been eyeing: I’ve always been a fan of Raven Roxanne and I think I might be ready to pull the plug on one of her pieces.
What I’ve been reading: Yellowface, was my recent read I couldn’t put down. I was feeling a void after reading Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and this definitely helped. Worth a read!
What I’ve been listening to: Men I Trust is on constant repeat over here and I’m ready for a new album. Really liked the Ring of Past release!
I hope you all enjoy your week! I’m currently putting together some pricing sheets for my brand photography work. If you or anyone you know is looking reach out! I’d love to work with some new brands, and I give discounts to customers who book more than one session.
