That's me! Though sometimes I have shorter hair because I just can't commit to long-ish hair all the time. And long or short, the version you'll likely meet of me will have her hair pulled under a baseball cap. But here's a little more about me outside of my hair preferences: I have the best husband ever, three wild and crazy girls, and too many animals to keep count of as we begin to live out our farm dreams in Chester, SC- about 20 minutes outside of the city of Rock Hill. I also love Jesus, love to read and binge TV series, and feel like I have a superpower in making sourdough bread. 

 

But my girls, that I homeschool, are my world. I often order my kids to "stop growing up" and on the rare occasion that my youngest lets me hold & cuddle her, I want so badly for those moments to slow and still...

 

But...

We can't stop their birthdays, we can't control the wrinkles that are etching their way around our mothers' eyes, around our eyes...

We just can't stop time.

But we can capture it.

 

"The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do." Andy Warhol
 

Photographs not only give us precious memories to hold on to, they tell our stories once we are gone, even once our children's children are gone. They have the ability to survive and speak and in a beautiful way.

 

So, I tell stories... 

Stories of infectious love between two people that can be felt just by seeing them hold hands.

Stories of the wild devotion a mother has for her child through an image of their embrace.

Stories of the faithfulness of family by showing you what they look like when they are together, a constant force in this wavering world.

 

And I want to tell your story.

I want to tell it beautifully through photos that will last beyond the snaps shared on social media. I want to give you photos that you will print and hang or frame that will serve as reminders of the gifts God has given you. 

 

This is what I do, it is what I love.
