“Southern Charm meets Vogue” One of best parts of slow season is getting to catch up on all the beautiful styled shoots I attended! Last May I got to spend 3 days at Meghan Baskin’s workshop in Charleston and I can say without a doubt that it was one of the best educational investments I’ve […]

I can hardly believe it’s been a year since I met up with Sara and Schofield in Hopeland Gardens! We lucked out with the most beautiful day at the end of February- there were a few clouds in the sky (one of my favorite shooting conditions, if I’m being honest), but it was warm with […]

“Meant to be” is a phrase I always think of when I think of Maddie and Tomas for multiple reasons. Maddie and Tomas both attended University of South Carolina and during their senior year they had a chance encounter at a bar in Five Points. They were both waiting in line and ended up striking […]

According to Noah; Sarah Paige and I are the same person “All we need are matching Lilly Pulitzer planners”. Which is totally fine with me- I can only hope that one day when I grow up I’m as cool as Sarah Paige. But over the last couple years of knowing them it has struck me […]

Get ready for an influx of past sessions! I haven’t been the best at keeping up with blogging weddings and session, but I want to share all of these beautiful days! So over the next few months I’m going to be spending A LOT of time catching up the blog on all the things! Despite […]

I don’t think anyone would be surprised if I told you that Hopeland Gardens is one of my favorite portrait locations. But Hopeland Gardens with Lindsay and Brennan? Perfection. Lindsay and Brennan have known each other for most of their lives. They met when they were 10 years old swimming on the same swim team. […]

I think this might be one of my favorite engagement sessions ever. If you don’t know this about me already (but seriously, you should know this.) I adore Charleston. One of my favorite parts of living in Columbia is that now I just have to jump on I-26, drive straight, and within 2 hours I’m […]

Remember how I mention in my last blog post that one of my goals for 2023 is to learn how to shoot film? Well, I’m going for it!! I bought a real light meter (no more trying to use the app on my phone!), called up two of my girlfriends (still so crazy to me […]

Did anyone else’s 2022 feel like 2 years wrapped up into 1 year?! Because I feel like I have whiplash from the last year… I brought Lottie home, launched The Garden City Figgy, had the figgy business fail spectacularly within 4 months,  shot the session of my dreams on the cliffs of Ireland, went through […]

  Surprise!! We’ve been keeping a little secret over here, but by the end of this month Lottie and I will officially be Carolina girls!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m so excited to start this new chapter in SC!! I’ve been driving back and forth a bunch over the last few months and I’m touched by the warm […]
