One of the best things that has happened since we have moved to Tybee is we now have overflowing circles of friends. Don’t get me wrong, we do have wonderful friends in Virginia, and I still love them very much. What is so different here is people live at a much slower pace of life. […]
Voted “South’s Greatest Photographer” South Magazine 2014
I have exciting news to share! I had entered a contest in January with South Magazine. It was for the title to be named “South’s Greatest Photographer” I called on my family, friends, fans and clients to vote for me and I got great response from all of you. The voting was not the final […]
Procrastinate NOW, don’t put it off.
I was a stay at home mom with five kids and a dream. The spare bedroom became my playground AKA “office”. It was where I would create. Early morning hours, after nursing the baby, I would learn to finish an image in Photoshop, teach myself a new software system, read a marketing article, communicate with […]
I did not want to get out of bed.
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 […]
Marriage – Sometimes its Work.
Two summers ago we were sipping iced drinks from a quaint rooftop bar in historic Savannah. Humidity dripped down the glass when I lifted it to my lips. Getting to know new friends in the city we were moving to was exciting. No kids in the picture yet, they were happily enjoying their early married […]
Walking around the world in Flip Flops.
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. […]
