16 Years

Can you believe we’ve been married for 16 years because I sure can’t!!! This year has been a sweet one and one of our more low key years of marriage. Year 15 included lots of traveling together for photography and family trips.. this year… it was doing day to day life alongside one another and our little family and I wouldn’t trade it for the world!!

I wrote that we didn’t travel this year and then I remembered… ohh yeah we did!! 🙂 🙂 We didn’t do any traveling just the two of us… but as a family we explored the big apple, we spent some time in the low country & the mountains here and there… but a lot of time has been spent shuffling two little girls to ballet, me photographing weddings & sessions, you working on your doctorate and “almost” finishing up all of our house projects (y’all we are so close to being “done”!!!)!!

We’ve spent a lot of evenings this year either walking around our neighborhood or sipping humms while watching our favorite shows… and probably some of my favorite times with you have been while sitting on our porch sipping coffee on weekend mornings… During those times we have had so much fun dreaming, planning, thinking back and just talking about all the things and I have loved it.

Thank you for being my person and my best friend. Thank you for listening, dreaming with me, supporting me, and loving me. Thank you even for calling me out when I need calling out. Thank you for letting me put up with you 😉 for the last 16 years of marriage!! I love you and I’m just so thankful for you and this life we have (all of it.. the beautiful, the hard and everything in between!!)

Happy Anniversary!!!

Photography is in my blood and seeking truth is in my soul. Which is a deep way of saying, I’ve loved to take photos for a really long time, y’all. I’d love to share my story with you then listen to yours.

Some of my favorite photographs from a wedding weekend are taken with everyone in khakis. I’ve been thinking about that lately. After almost twenty years of photographing weddings, I’ve learned that the moments my couples come back to years later are not always the ones you would expect.  The first look matters. The vows matter. […]

Rachel & Ben were married on an incredible fall weekend in the upstate of South Carolina.  The weekend started out with family and friends celebrating these two at the Greenville Country Club for the rehearsal dinner.  The included hugs, the most beautiful toasts, and Ben grabbing his guitar and playing/singing for guests.  That evening set […]

For the last few years I’ve photographed Ballet Spartanburg’s performances of the Nutcracker.  It is an honor to capture these incredible students and professional dancers that share the stage for this family favorite in the heart of Spartanburg, SC.  Most years I capture the dress rehearsals, this past year due to a wedding in Charleston […]
