Sandals Royal Bahamian Nassau, Bahamas Travel Guide

This year for our anniversary, we wanted to stay nearby but go on an all-inclusive tropical vacation. We chose Sandals in Nassau, Bahamas. We have had great experiences with other Sandals Resorts in the past, but to be fully honest, this is not the best Sandals Resort out there. We still had a great time and enjoyed the gorgeous Bahama blue water!

Summer Wedding at 1208 Washington Columbia, SC

What a day! I’ll never forget the unique color pops in this wedding and the GORGEOUS Anne Barge custom gown the bride wore. Shaylyn and Cole were one of the most fun couples and their day truly reflected their warm and fun personalities. From the first dances to the exit, this day was WONDERFUL.

Girly Solar System Third Birthday Party

Journey to the MAYLEY Way Galaxy! Our baby girl turned 3 in July and I don’t want to talk about it! Haha! Too soon! She is very into the planets and outer space so we knew this year’s theme would be SOLAR SYSTEM! It was so fun to put together! We kept it pretty simple and had a few little fun things to pull it together, like the space themed sensory bins (the kids LOVED) and the bouncy house!

Airy, Beach Inspired Nursery and A New Miracle Baby Boy

The Thomas family–clients turned friends, without a doubt. I’ve gotten to photograph them since their first baby was a baby! We’ve had multiple maternity sessions, newborn sessions, sessions just because. I’ve traveled long distances to them and for this particular session, followed them all the way back to where they’re from in Memphis, Tennessee. They mean so much to me and I adore all four of the kids!
