Love is in the air. And hard work. Sacrifice. Overcoming obstacles. Dreaming. Perseverance. And hope.

I absolutely loved photographing my dear college friend and her beautiful generations of family on a recent warm day in Chapel Hill, NC.

I am so grateful for faith from a very young age. It gave me the exact foundation I needed. Here's Joy at her first communion, surrounded by a large team of family and friends. Each invested in her becoming the person she was put on this Earth to be.

It’s almost Summer! Well, technically 19 days or something. But personally, I’m here for hot weather.

This shoot is actually from January though, just outside Tulum, Mexico.

Carren and I bonded over being July babies, and a love for Kenyan culture. Her native land and a place I’ve only visited but pressed on me in a very meaningful way.

I still remember Kiswahili song lyrics, which Carren recognized.

Here’s to hot weather, unexpected connections, sweet aquatic adventures, and strutting your stuff, Baybees.

Esalen-style massage focuses on long strokes to communicate to the nervous system that it can let go. Release. Come into safety and homeostasis, thereby releasing muscle tension.

Practitioner, Joanna Morgan, of views every massage as a sacred opportunity to help the body unravel grip patterns that don’t serve the body.

She believes—and I agree—that regulated nervous systems make the world a more grounded, peaceful place.

If you check out her website, you can view images we created together.

I know from experience that regular care of this kind is life changing. Healing comes in so many ways.

I got to photograph my Mom wearing the "Four Girls" ring my sisters and I got for her, representing her daughters. One in heaven. My mom is chill-yet-bursting-with-energy, fun, silly, hardworking, loving, and always on the go.
We enjoyed hanging out but she had to scoot: Dance Class at the Senior Center!

It was a milestone birthday for Ms. Kathy Wrenn, so her loving children went in on an extended family photo shoot to time-capsule the celebration! They even brought in her best friend.

Mother's Day is coming up and I have Gift Cards available, jus' sayin'! ☺️☺️🩷🩷
