Lura & James | Wormsloe Historic Site Wedding

Lura and James reached out to me last spring to tell me about how they were to be wed in the fall.

Tommy was Hannah’s older brother’s roommate at West Point military academy. Eventually, they both met at a military ball and from there, the rest was history. Tommy is currently stationed in South Georgia and I had to go to Savannah for a wedding I photographed in the fall with Design Studio South. I love Savannah’s […]

In His Timing

There is a lot of beauty that comes from waiting for the things that are to come. Perhaps it is a new job, a new relationship, financial security, clarity about which path to take, a new home, or a new chapter of life. If you’ve ever been faced with waiting for something worthwhile, you will […]

3 Years Ago

YOU GUYS! 3 years ago in 2016 I quit my job flipping chicken to focus on becoming an entrepreneur. Holy moly!
