What do you love to do? How many hours a week do you spend doing it? I have been living my dream job as a professional portrait photographer for 8 years now. My dad bought me my first camera when I was fourteen, who’d ever thought it would lead me to my photography career years […]
Two summers ago we were sipping iced drinks from a quaint rooftop bar in historic Savannah. Humidity dripped down the glass when I lifted it to my lips. Getting to know new friends in the city we were moving to was exciting. No kids in the picture yet, they were happily enjoying their early married […]
After breakfast, Sean and I headed to our second white water rafting excursion that week. Driving several miles down the main coastal highway of Costa Rica, a dirt road covered in boulders, we came upon a young girl in her early twenties, carrying a backpack that was almost taller than herself. Her flip flops were a […]
Twenty-two eyes all on me in the hot seat. Nervously wringing my hands, getting to the truth in my heart. Everyone was sitting safely behind their table in the small makeshift classroom in the attic of an office building in Buda, Texas. Home of the official wiener dog races.

Jumping in with both feet is what we did when moving to Tybee. In fact we did more social activities in the first month here than we did in the two-three years prior living in VA. No Lie. I really am not making this up. We do have several close friends and people we love […]
The first night we were here, was the lighting of the Christmas tree…er, uh Christmas bush. We arrived a day early so that we could be here for the blessed event. It truly gave us a feel of what living in this small town was going to be like. When it was time to walk […]
December 2, 2011 had finally arrived. We packed our suitcases, four kids and the dog early that morning and 9 hours later we were crossing the Lazaretto Creek bridge onto Tybee Island. The sun was shining bright and the sky was a deep blue. Now one of the most interesting stories that happened on this day was […]
Our son Bryce was entering his senior year of high school. He had his own big plans of moving across the country to seek a new life of adventure. We offered to take him to Savannah to check it out, knowing that he would like it there too. We just wanted him to have an […]
In July of 2011, Sean and I planned a few days to get away with the girls and see what Savannah had to offer. The way Sean explains it is…We might not know if we love a place in four days, but we will know if we hate it. Savannah is about an 8 1/2 […]
Ready for a new year. Less than a week away, we will be watching the fireworks explode over the Atlantic Ocean, after being launched from the Tybee Pier. Celebrating the close of 2012 and the arrival of 2013. I believe that 2013 holds good things for my family. The past few years have brought pain […]
