    This is now old news, and this blog post has been rotting in my drafts for a few weeks. However, I was beyond intrigued when I first saw the post about the space resort on Instagram. Many questions came to mind: Who owns the real estate of space? Will this spawn a space race to…

    Maybe since I am a mother of one child, not two or three or four, I do not understand how the underlying transformation of becoming a mother sacrifices personal identity. Becoming a mother is an addition to my personal identity as a woman. Just like when I grew from a girl to a young lady…

    Ah– the overwhelming feeling when someone answers YES to a once in a lifetime question. Often, the big moment can come out of nowhere, taking the heart by surprise. I’m referring to the one, the only question– are you saying yes to the dress? Once upon a casual day in Charleston, South Carolina, I was…

    Nothing says beauty like one’s parents. They hate photos of themselves; but, I find they are beautiful, and rewarding to photograph. They have been married for 35 years, raised four kids and are still smiling and holding hands. That in itself is what I consider true-life celebration.

    Meet Rosemary, my boyfriend’s mother’s beagle, and my new roommate. This little kick-in-the-pants pup is soft, funny and fierce to photograph! Her soft ears frame her perfect face, and she has natural eyeliner all women can envy. Miss Rosemary is quite the lady, but can’t stop herself from catching one side of her lip on her canine,…

    Girls who dedicate their time to taking care of their horses lead a lifestyle I like to call “A Stable Cinderella.” We are somewhat servants to these animals, yet, our lives are always full of adventure and love. If the tall boot/muck boot fits, us horse girls wear them for life. When my boyfriend bought me…
