After breakfast, Sean and I headed to our second white water rafting excursion that week. Driving several miles down the main coastal highway, a dirt road covered in boulders, we came upon a young girl in her early twenties, carrying a backpack that was almost taller than herself. Her flip flops were a monotone beige from […]
The Family Business
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 […]
Embracing Communication
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 […]
Early Morning Prayers
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 […]
Pura Vida
Without a doubt if I could choose to live in a different location, anywhere in the world, I would choose Costa Rica. I have visited the country four times and would love to live there. There is nothing like the simplicity of life there. The people are the happiest and friendliest I have ever seen. […]
Baby Steps and Reaching for the Moon.
Twenty-two eyes all on me in the hot seat. Nervously wringing my hands, getting to the truth in my heart. Everyone was sitting safely behind their table in the small makeshift classroom in the attic of an office building in Buda, Texas. Home of the official wiener dog races. I was being grilled by the […]
Family Time
I have treasured every moment of the past week. My oldest son, Carder has been here visiting as he is in his transition from being stationed from New London CT to his 8 month schooling in Petaluma, CA. We have not made any big plans to go out, sightsee or tour Savannah. Instead, we have […]
Terrified and Locked in FEAR.
Many people don’t believe me when I say I am a completely different person than I was just eight years ago. Not that I bounce in and am the life of the party now, but there was a time I was too fearful to even introduce myself to someone new, much less photograph them, carry […]
Counting My Blessings.
Jumping in with both feet is what we did when moving to Tybee. In fact we did more social activities in the first month here than we did in the two-three years prior living in VA. No Lie. I really am not making this up. We do have several close friends and people we love […]
Magical Moon
Tonight the moon was spectacular. It was not full yet, but the sky was clear and the stars were glistening. The moon had a full ring around it. It was lit up bright. Everyone on the island that has a facebook account was buzzing about it. All the photographers were out trying to capture it, […]
