Launching can be intimidating. A billion to do’s, a list a mile long, and endless deadlines. There’s no doubt about it it can be scary… but I actually think that people make it out to be worse than it really is. We build up launches in our head as the be all end all, when […]

Let’s just set the record straight here, friends. No longer are iPhone selfies acceptable offerings for your professional headshot. Nor is a poorly lit photo where you’re wearing a t-shirt from 10 years ago. Agreed? Agreed. Ok, so with that being said, let’s talk about what that means.

Travel is in our blood.

Our love began roaming the streets of Southern Spain & has taken […]

Oh, this session is just simply the loveliest. Kemper: a stunningly beautiful bride – inside and out. And then put her in this setting, and holy cow.

It couldn’t have been a more […]

When I saw that Kemper & Charlie were engaged, my first thought was: “Oh I hope I get to shoot that wedding!” See, years ago I first met the Peacock family when I photographed the older daughter, Kathryn’s, wedding at the Augusta Country Club. I fell in love with the Peacock clan, and immediately felt […]

“How are you always so positive?” It was a question one of my followers asked when I did a little “Ask Me Anything” recently on Instagram Stories. I didn’t answer it right away because it took me a moment to think on… especially because in the past I never would have used to call myself […]

We’ve been planning & prepping & dreaming of our babymoon over here… and after much deliberation (and input from you all!) we are SO thrilled that we’ll officially be spending a week in Kauai, Hawaii in August! A week of beautiful sites, relaxation, beaches, hikes, & endless food sounds like the perfect final big adventure […]

Last weekend 11 ladies traveled from all over the country to join together for a business retreat – a gal pal getaway if you will. 4 of us have been meeting every other week for 2 years, (& 1 of the other ladies joined us for a year too!), and everyone else was an industry […]
