Hello and welcome. I'm a lifestyle/editorial photographer now based Grand Forks, North Dakota of all places. After starting my business in Charlotte, NC and bouncing around the Southeast, we are embarking on a new adventure in a a whole new part of the country. My goal is to capture the beauty of life as you know it. My passion is to create images that celebrate life and emotion with a fresh and modern style. I'm happy to share my journey with you here on my site.

Available for travel assignments and adventure, always.

Last night we sat outside for dinner, which is something that I love about living here because the light turns that magical hue so much later in the day. We are trying to soak up these lingering, golden evenings since once winter comes we certainly won't have this luxury. So, as the sun sifted through the shade tree in our backyard I watched Charlie fiddle with his "new" 4x4 (thank you thank you Kristen!!)... pushing it along and stopping to "examine" in. Then our sweet neighbor Amelia hopped on and showed him how it was done.

We also managed to devour a few of these - homemade s'mores with raspberry Ghirdelli chocolates. Deelish. Thank you to Annie's Eats for this dessert inspiration! I've never made homemade marshmallows or graham crackers so this was a creative challenge well worth the extra effort.

Hi Amy -- I teach with your Dad in Raleigh. I love your blog! Can you direct me to your graham cracker recipe? I've always wanted to make my own. Thanks!

The best things in life are nearest:  Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you.  Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.  ~Robert Louis Stevenson

We are adjusting to life here in North Dakota one day at a time, trying to soak up the simple goodness each day has to offer. Clearly, I still love to let Charlie run around with no clothes on... so that is a good thing :)

Such a big, handsome, boy! Nice to see it's warm enough for Charlie to roam in his birthday suit. I was worried it was already snowing there!

It's been another week of glorious weather, although a little cooler, and it looks to continue into the weekend. I'm hopeful that our weekend will be full of city adventures that I need to document!

Can't help but enjoy seeing the Southern Proper images popping up in all kind of fun places like in Matchbook magazine...
