I cannot believe my dreams of having our maternity portrait session in Charleston, South Carolina (my FAVORITE city in the world!) came true!!

I just got home after a quick 5-day trip out west to Montana exploring Glacier National Park with my parents and I’m already missing the crisp, fresh air, incredible views, and all the wildlife! It was such an incredible trip and I was quite proud of myself for still being able to hike (albeit with […]

We had the most fabulous babymoon last weekend at the Montage Palmetto Bluff in the low country of South Carolina! The Montage has been on my bucket list for years and years and we finally felt like this was the perfect opportunity to book a trip and go. Set on 22,000 acres, the Montage is […]

Patrick, Tucker, and I escaped for a night to the North Georgia mountains (one of our favorite places to unplug and relax) for a stay at the Suches, Georgia Getaway House outpost.

This group consisted of my family, some of my Dad’s best friends from high school, and their families. In total, there were about 30 of us staying in 5 different houses along Folly Beach (I was obsessed with […]

I am SO excited about today’s post!! Patrick and I actually got in front of the camera (for once!) for an adventurous couples session on the Big Island of Hawaii! As a photographer, I find it super valuable to step into my client’s shoes every now and then by getting in front of the camera. […]
