Welcome to Life Stories...

Welcome to My Life's Story! Mine is made up of so many wonderful people-purposfully woven together! Everything we do is with and for each other and I am so glad that you have taken the time to stop by- so grab your favorite cup of coffee and Enjoy!

What I love most: my family, my friends, my son's giggles when he thinks he is getting away with something... great conversation, anything with a good title, bold coffee, anyone with a zest for life, exciting and fresh ideas, anything crafty, getting my hands dirty, dancing in the rain and weddings! (all weddings!)

I am happiest: when I can share what I see through a lens. Just as there are no two people alike, neither are views on life. I strive to uniquely photograph any event or person so their style can easily be seen.

"Life Happens... Picture it Boldly!"

Would love to hear from you~ If you would like to leave a comment feel free or email me at

A glimpse into my week:

Heather and David were married in SC this past weekend and I can't wait to share all of their fun details... These images were taken at their reception at River Hills Country Club~ It was beautiful and gave way to an incredible back drop...




I always enjoy shooting in St. Augustine~ and you can never go wrong anywhere around the Casa Monica Hotel... Loved that this old jaguar happened to be parked and ready- almost like it was just waiting for us! Be on the look out for Anthony and Tressa's wedding coming up soon! It will be gorgeous!

Thanks to my friend Kristen for her help with this session- it was so much fun getting to know her even more! (Adore you my friend!)

What I am working on (among other things...)

Angela & Wil~ The Alumni Center in Monroe, LA (My childhood best friend... We were best friends from 1st grade and into high school until I moved to Carolina. All I can say is Dirty Dancing and Footloose...) I heart you my friend and pour out so much love and happiness to you and Wil- You are so beautiful and perfect together!




Baby S~ How sweet... Jen and Jason your girls are beautiful. It has been so much fun getting to know you and I look forward to more time together! Thanks for trusting me and allowing me to be a part of your wonderful family.




Lindsay and Lee are so much fun and are so full of life, love and laughter~ Lindsay and I have been trying to get this shoot together for a while now and I have to say that God has perfect timing... (blown out flippy flops and all!) Thanks for being such a blessing to me for all these years my friend! Love you guys so much!

Loved everything about their wedding... I can't express all of my thoughts and feelings because there are so many! Every detail that Kristen so thoughtfully put into the day was simply spectacular! I loved her ideas and loved more that she trusted us completely in all that we did. I know you guys are dying to see the foto booth images and I will do something special with them soon... for now,I am going to leave you with this... Again, many thanks to Wes and Molly... the night was more amazing with you there- Enjoy~ S.
