HOW is it already October!? The last Charleston-bound blog post I did was at the end of July…and it’s been SO crazy since then that I haven’t had a chance to do an updated post until now! SO much has happened since our move. I’ve traveled to so many different states shooting weddings and speaking […]
This post is so fun for me to be sharing!!! My sweet little sister Abby turned 14 over the weekend. Even though we are in the midst of moving to Charleston (her birthday was the day before the movers came!), we still wanted to make her birthday SO special. Birthdays have been and always will […]

At the end of 2018, Morgan was gone for a few weeks in Argentina visiting her sister and brother-in-law. She came back home for a short time before traveling to Peru (can […]
I debated whether or not I should share this blog post. A few weeks ago, when a lot of people started to share their 2018 recaps on Instagram stories or on social media, I saw so many mean tweets floating around. “Yeah thanks for sharing a mile-long story, no one wanted to see that!!!” “PSA no […]
