Anyone who knows the McNally’s knows that we love to travel, and we love to travel to Costa Rica…and we love to travel to Costa Rica as cheap as we can! Airbnb and Spirit airlines has made that even more possible for us for our upcoming trip later this month. Our last two trips there were […]
In addition to my regular photography work, I have a few partnerships and collaborations with other companies in the works. I will eventually do a separate blog post on each of them. I hope this blog post will be an encouragement to you. If you are in the midst of starting over, or just contemplating […]
I promise I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth. When summertime hits, Tybee is full of tourists, and vacationers. For the past four and a half years, Sean and I have strategically marketed our business so that we can continue to live on Tybee, pay our bills and feed our kids. Each year […]
It’s 10am Saturday morning. The sun is casting it’s rays and throwing diamonds across the sea. Birds are serenading the droves of tourists walking down 14th Street as cars speed around them. Everyone is in a big hurry to get to the beach to swim, surf, and worship the sun. As all of this beauty […]

Surrounded by some of my closest friends, we wiggled our toes in the sand for a glorious beach day. Feeling the salt air stick to our skin and hair as the cool breeze wrapped around us we just enjoyed the moment, and the opportunity to be. About an hour into our basking, a little boy […]
Visiting Costa Rica always changes my perspective on many day to day things when I return to the States and our life here. A while ago I wrote a blog post titled “Walking Around the World in Flip Flops” in that post I referred back to one of our first visits to Costa Rica about […]
Wednesday morning arrived and it was time to pack up our little black backpacks, climb down from our treehouse with the oceanview, and begin our 2,000 mile journey home.
