Grew up in North Carolina, where weekends/summers on the coast became part of my being. There’s something about the salt air and slow mornings by the ocean — it feels like home. I am the happiest there.

One day (mark my words) I’ll have a little beach house to call my own. For my family. It’s a quiet dream now, but I know it’ll become reality.

Until then, I’ll keep booking the last-minute Airbnbs and making day trips for beach shoots, because that’s how much I love it 🌊👙⛱️🐚🏝️

I was talking to a friend recently about how I sometimes feel behind—especially as a 30 y.o. business owner. I know I could be doing more. I have the drive, the ideas, and the work ethic to chase success in bigger ways. And sometimes it’s frustrating, knowing what I’m capable of but also knowing I’ve had to move slower.

I had my first baby at 21, so I’ve never really known what it’s like to wake up and only take care of me. My time, energy, and dreams have always had to stretch around someone else’s needs. And because of that, I’m really proud of what I’ve built.

Being a mother comes with sacrifices. So does being a father. But I’m so thankful for the flexibility this business gives me. It lets me do what I love in both ways: be a mom first, and build something that still lights me up.

I may not be growing as fast as I could, but I’m growing in a way that honors both my family and myself. And that feels like success to me. 🩵

One of the things I love most about what I do—every couple is different. Some weddings are 250 guests deep with full timelines and packed dance floors. And then there are days like this: a sweet, go-with-the-flow celebration for two already married souls who just wanted to exchange vows + share dinner at sunset with their closest people.

There are no rules 🩵
