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 […]
From Pretty… to Pretty Sexy
In my photography journey, I have had many subject types. Art, landscape, events, weddings…and portraits. Although I love all these subjects, portraits are my passion. I am launching a new session option with my sessions here in Georgia. Women’s portraits. I have wanted to move more in this direction over the past couple years, but […]
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, […]
Weather or Not
The weather this past week has been delightful on Tybee. Each morning as I woke, I could hear the waves rolling in and crashing on the sand. I could hear this because it has been warm enough to sleep with the windows open! In January I might add. Even though it is the middle of […]
How the McNally’s ended up on Tybee Part 5 of 5
The first night we were here, was the lighting of the Christmas tree…er, uh Christmas bush. We arrived a day early so that we could be here for the blessed event. It truly gave us a feel of what living in this small town was going to be like. When it was time to walk […]
How the McNally’s ended up on Tybee Part 4 of 5
December 2, 2011 had finally arrived. We packed our suitcases, four kids and the dog early that morning and 9 hours later we were crossing the Lazaretto Creek bridge onto Tybee Island. The sun was shinning bright and the sky was a deep blue. Now one of the most interesting stories that happened on this day was […]
