Columbia SC Photographer | I love...

The ocean, the smell of it, the sound of it, the way it feels between my toes and it's beautiful

Coffee, anytime really. Not just for the caffeine, I love the taste and the warmth and the creamier, the better.

My family, they are my people, my tribe. I want to be where they are no matter how much they drive me crazy.

home decor, it kills me and I love it anyway. I dream of redoing my house every day. I am head over heels for all the gold right now.

Jesus. Knowing that there is someone who is more responsible for my life than I am really sets my mind at ease. If all else fails, Jesus.

Party planning, love all the details and the colors I can throw together to make a grand display. It kinda makes me want to stand on the roof top and shout with joy. When I see the final event, I am complete and I breathe.

Photography, I can't explain it. The feeling I get when I prepare for a shoot, its almost nervousness every single time. I pray. I pray for my ability. I pray for the client. I pray that I am able to get photos that they will absolutely fall in love with in every way. I can't wait to get home and edit them. I was born for this and as I edit each one, it stirs my soul.

Did I say coffee? Yea, I love that stuff.

Oranges but I am way too lazy to actually peel them. I just eat the ones my kids peel.

My mama. She is the most incredibly selfless person I know. She really is something wonderful and the only person who has every loved me completely unconditionally. (Next to Jesus.)

Fishing. I don't get to do that much anymore and everyone looks at me like I am crazy when I say it. I have the fondest childhood memories of fishing trips on Lake Murray with my Papa. He was fun like that. I miss him. The him before he got sick.

Candles, the look of them more than the smell. There is such a home-quality about them. Although, Cranberry Pear Bellini from Bath and Body Works is such a favorite.

Adventure. I want to do it all, something fascinating, something big. I love a good mystery and an opportunity to figure stuff out. I have a creative mind and I need that sort of entertainment. Did somebody say geocaching?

A good theme park. Yes please! I could spend every day in a place like Disney. It's wonder and adventure around every corner. And don't forget the roller coasters!

Tea Parties, every chance I get I have one of these. It is my life-long dream to own a tea shop. Maybe one day. I love serving others but only in specific ways. Let me make you something beautiful. I want to make you smile. It's kinda my thing. 

Old Furniture, let me take something old and make it look brand new again, but more gorgeous than ever before.  Restoration is one of my gifts. Revelation 21.

Treasure hunts, Easter egg hunts, Scavenger hunts, all of the above. Oh. My. That might actually go under adventure. My husband still hides Easter eggs for me...

Oh and Christmas... there are so many reasons but let's start with the lights.
