Warning: It is the day after Mother’s Day and I’m gonna brag on my kids, they spoiled me yesterday. It started with Ava making me breakfast and giving beautiful homemade gifts. I had the morning with Kyleigh chatting on the sofa while I sipped my coffee, a nice long phone call with my mom. Then […]
Several options are available when traveling from one end of the island to the other. If we’re not drinking, then the obvious choice is taking our own car. Once the night gets started we have our favorite rounds that we make and they are on both ends of the island. We always make a responsible […]
Walking up the steps of the Tybee pier just before the sun bursts through the clouds throwing thousands of diamonds across the sea is how my work day started this morning. I had not had my coffee yet, but the sunrise and waking day waits for no one. I am working on an image as […]
Today I read about a story that has gone viral. It was about a dad’s response to a letter he received reprimanding him from his kids’ principal after he took them out of school for three days. This reminds me of the time my dad was taking me to Europe for seventeen days. I met […]
Are you spending time doing what makes you happy? Or are you just spending time? I invite you to re-evaluate your life and the days in it.

“What the hell are we doing?”After an exceptionally cold and grey winter we woke up one morning, desperately looked at each other and asked this question. We then realized that we were not living the life that we imagined for ourselves. Six months later we sold everything we owned and moved five hundred and fifty-five miles […]
As some of you that follow my facebook feed have noticed, Sean and I have a couple favorite bars that we go to here on Tybee. Before moving here, we hardly ever went out to a bar. Partly because there were not many places to frequent in Stafford VA, and our life was consumed with many other […]
I remember being completely exhausted as I would prepare dinner, trying hard to have everything hot and ready at the same time. Hoping Sean’s arrival home after his 2-3 hour commute would coincide when everything was placed on the table. It seems like we were off the mark more than we were on it. I […]
Earlier this week, I woke up and scrolled through my Facebook newsfeed to find out that two young men ages 21 and 22, that I had photographed in my studio a few years ago chose to end their lives.
