experience

I grew up appreciating that things hold memory and just because it's old doesn't mean it should be replaced. I mean what's that saying, "if it ain't broke, why fix it?"

I've always loved antiques and thrifting; something I got from my mama. I collect coffee mugs; most with funny sayings, some saved from those no longer with us or others that just feel really good in my hand. I tend to savor a slower pace in life, which goes without saying I am not very tech savvy and thoroughly enjoy disconnecting from the virtual world. I am often super forgetful and honestly a bit unorganized, but still keep my crazy life going somehow!

Growing up, I grew to treasure visits to my grandparents house. I learned how to bake from my grandma. Her cheesecake is (should be) world famous! My memories of spending time with her cooking batches and batches of Christmas cookies for our family are some of my fondest.

My love for gardening started young. I can still remember eating tomatoes straight off the vine as a child or helping my mom plant flowers (her flower gardens rival the best landscapers). A lot of flowers in my gardens over the years have been passed down from family and friends.

I love a good book. I don't read as much as I'd like these days, but am part of a Book Club with my friends called, The Worms. 

My faith in Jesus is an important part of who I am. I stand firm in the belief to always lead with love and kindness and a little understanding. 

Working with Shelby was the best experience. She made family pictures a seamless experience. The final images are something we will treasure for a lifetime. We look forward to working with her again!

...thousand percent an exclamation point!!!! I overuse them all the time, sorry not sorry, because I will probably overuse them here! 

’ve always been described as having a bubbly personality, and I love helping people feel at ease. Making others laugh brings me so much joy! While I’m generally a fun and cheerful person, I have to admit—I cry a lot, haha! My husband can definitely vouch for that. Whether I’m editing photos, watching movies, reading a book, or listening to a song, the tears just flow. I am a feeler at heart, and most of the time am just moved to tears by the beauty of life.
