ABOUT ME

THE MODERN SOUTH

What does the “modern south” mean? For me, it means tradition with a twist. Think front porches, comfort food, bowties, nice manners…meets urban farming, pinterest projects, thrift store shopping, breaking the rules…and top it off with a little splash of “bless their heart.”

I live in Charleston, but am available to travel worldwide.

LOVES…

.My husband J.R. He is the Chandler to my Monica, and if you get that reference we will probably be friends.

.My little girl Clara. I never knew being a mama could be so.much.fun. (Less sleep…but more fun). She is only 4, but I may or may not have already taken a few thousand photos of her.

.My fur-baby Buster the lab. (He is still getting used to being second fiddle to the human baby and its been 4 years).

.Coffee. I am not a fully functioning human being unless I have had a good bit of caffeine in the morning. (As in 3 cups before 8am).

.Donuts. I have a problem. I try to make it a whole week without one, but then one of my clients literally shows up with a box or sends me a gift card and I’m done.

.Anthropologie and Madewell. {Most. Beautiful. Clothes. Ever.}

.Cooking. I like to pretend that I am a Top Chef and cook as frequently as possible, despite the fact that I was on “toaster probation” when I was little for almost catching the kitchen on fire {sorry Mama!}.

.Books. Real ones…not the electronic kind. I like to underline, fold down the pages, and hold actual paper in my hands.

THE IMAGES…

Life is beautiful. Without photographs, we often forget the beauty that happens in everyday life.  I once heard a photographer say that the only thing between the past and the future is the click of a shutter. I wholeheartedly agree. I am passionate about capturing memories for people…but most of all I love that strangers become friends during the process.
