Are you forever a fan of sunsets too? Especially jaw droppers just like this?!

Watching Thursday’s sunset unfold in Charleston was pure magic. Half of the western sky was all cloudy, the other half was blue skies - and the coolest thing was that the sun set right in between the cloud-blue sky line. I had a feeling the sunset was gonna be a good one, but sunset took it to a whole other level.

Getting out there, having fun. Noticing the moments unfolding in front of your eyes. There’s magic all around you awaiting. Especially in Costa Rica. But don’t take my word for it, I’ll let these photos do the talking. đŸȘ„đŸ‡šđŸ‡·

The leaves may not pop in vibrant colors in the fall, but the skies sure do continue to show off! Plus the temperatures are finally just right again
hello 75 degree, sun drenched crisp days! Welcome to fall in the Lowcountry.

What do you do when the rain actually rains on your parade-plan to launch the 2027 desktop calendars today at your popup with Celadon?

Launch ‘em anyway! Say hola to not one, but two editions of the 2027 desktop calendar! One featuring dreamy photos of Charleston and the Lowcountry, and the other is an awesome combo of Charleston/Lowcountry plus Costa Rica!

My favorite things about this calendar is the way it’s designed - not only do you get 13 photo prints with each calendar, but also bc it’s printed on beautiful and sturdy card stock, you can display it in so many ways. Use the included gold binder clip to hang, a wood stand, lean them, use cool washi tape, or use a magnet on your refrigerator, this calendar adapts to your desk setup and home.

Check ‘em out with the link in my bio!

Too soon to share more portraits of a vintage Land Rover?

Good, because exactly two years ago today I was a lucky girl to have the opportunity to shoot the gorgeous Charlie and I just had to share the portraits and BTS videos to celebrate the occasion!

Watching the full moon rise over Charleston harbor just as the sun was setting at the same time on Saturday was simply magical. The golden glow of the sun, the pastels painting the sky and reflecting over the high tide marsh, just wow. Nature, you’re awesome. Charleston, you’re a photographer’s dream.

Fun fact: weekends are even better when cruising around in a vintage car. Am I right or am I right?!

Charleston all dressed up in the breathtaking sunrise lighting this morning.

PS why yes, I did run out of the house in my sweats to soak in this beauty!
