Something that has been stirring in me for quite sometime is to do a new style of family portraits. I want to create a fun piece of art that will truly depict a family’s personality. I chose the O’Brien family as my first subject for this project. We met them the very first night we […]
One of the reasons we hit the reset button on life was to get back to what matters most. We found Tybee Island, and one of the best things about it is the simplicity of life here. Wanting our kids to choose to be creators rather than consumers, we really try to guide them into […]
Life was a struggle for me only two years ago. We had just gotten through the worst winter of our life. And I had thought the two before it were the worst. Swearing I would never stay in Virginia during the winter again, I found myself doing just that. Deciding to leave behind the house […]
What do you love to do? How many hours a week do you spend doing it? I have been living my dream job as a professional portrait photographer for 8 years now. My dad bought me my first camera when I was fourteen, who’d ever thought it would lead me to my photography career years […]

Her flip flops were a monotone beige from […]
My passion for business began when I was a little girl before I ever even picked up a camera. My brother, Trip and I used to spend hours planning a little store we were going to open called “Odds and Ends”. He drew up plans for it on blue-lined notebook paper. It was going to […]
How do you teach yourself something new? I struggle with putting myself on the other side of the camera. Not for stills as much but for video. What am I so afraid of? I guess it’s not other people seeing me, but seeing myself as others see me. Am I THAT afraid of who I […]
After a restless 3 hours of sleep, I couldn’t continue to lay there. Well actually I did, but I did not try to get back to sleep. I have had a kink in my neck for 3 days now, that just won’t seem to go away. I can do things that will help temporarily, but […]
