I am so excited to introduce you to my March 2022 Star Students!! I LOVE my online course students, and this is such a fun way for them to humbly brag about all the amazing things they are doing!! This month, I’ve got 3 students to tell you about: Casey, Taylor and Samantha. It’s my […]
It has been a busy few weeks on the blog…and I’m loving it! Peak spring shooting season is my FAVORITE!! Jeffrey and Chloe traveled into town last weekend for their engagement photos in Savannah and we had the best time. We did a sunrise session (my new favorite!) and avoided some of the crowds while […]
When I say you are about to scroll through one of my new favorite senior sessions of all time…I MEAN IT!!! Brooke’s Charleston session was originally scheduled for last Thursday evening.

I was already so excited to photograph my first senior in downtown Savannah…and then I realized the AZALEAS were in bloom!!! I was […]
This video was such a fun one to film because it got me thinking about what spokesmodels and senior rep teams should look like in the current market!! I had 5 years of thriving spokesmodel programs in my business…but I haven’t hosted one since moving to Charleston (only because I’ve moved around so much!) So, […]
