Awaiting Baby Ada

Maternity· Nature· Trees

5 Aug

Being new to mommyhood myself, and extremely thankful for those photographers that invested their time into my pregnancy (Hometown Photography by Renee’ Nicolo) and delivery (Carrie Workman Photography) and knowing how much I cherish every photo, well and cry everytime I look at them, I decided that the least I could do is always pay it forward for my fellow photographers. And the lovely lady featured here was actually the very one that helped begin my journey. Thank you so much Lisa (Lisa Bell Photography)! I enjoyed meeting you and Jeff, and I can’t wait to see all the lovely photos of little Miss.

We ventured out to Musgrove Mill State Historic Site in Clinton, SC for our session. A big shout out to the ranger for pulling an extra hour of work so that we could utilize this beautiful site.

Lisa, you look absolutely stunning. Ada is so lucky to have you two for parents 🙂

So sweet. He adores you two girls 🙂

Ahahaha. I love it! I love being surrounded by people who like to laugh as much as I do. Life is too short not to laugh… all the time!


Lisa is one crafty young lady. Just read this post about Ada’s room. And if you notice, the belt she is wearing here, which she made, is also from the same fabric as Ada’s bedding, curtain, and accent pillow. Crafty, crafty. Well, to someone who doesn’t sew. Ever. Well, I do know how to sew buttons back on. Does that count?
Thank you again Lisa for everything you have done for me along the way! And I hope you guys enjoy and cherish your images of this miraculous experience. God bless your little family!

Stay in the know!

Hey, hey friend! :) I'm so glad you're here! God gives me all the strength to navigate this crazy, beautiful life of mine; and this is my attempt to keep it somewhat documented and organized! My family and I believe we are called to be stewards of the land and try our hardest to live a biblically-based, holistic life. You'll discover a whole lot about nature, photography, and being a creative entrepreneur if you poke around a little bit on the site! Enjoy. More about me...

🌻🍉 Summer Photo Dump 6 🍉🌻

Mid-July we got the family together out on the river! We got all set up on a sandbar for the day, to be able to just chill- have a picnic and let the littles play their hearts out. Well… that was our hopes at least. 🤦‍♀️🫠 About an hour later, ALLLLL the boats showed up (group of friends) and just beached it right where we were swimming with the kids. I will never understand this… I am just of the mindset if you missed out on the sandbar, you missed out. Not… “well, we’ll just squeeze right in here on top of y’all.” But whatever. 😵‍💫 AmIright? Is that not the unwritten, understood law of the river rats? 🤣

Beach days are the best days!!! We were able to make 2 different day trips to the coast this summer. 

1. We are thankful for sweet friends who allow us to crash their family camping vacation for a day! 🤣 

2. And we are thankful for another group who are willing to up and haul their families to the coast for a day, too! 🤗

Two of my fellow Clemson forestry/ wildlife pals and I managed to take that girls’ trip we had been chatting about for a while! It was so good for the soul!!! We went owling at night, and just looking for all the critters we could find. 😁

Our old-soul, mancub hit a milestone birthday this summer. So, as an early birthday present, we hesitantly (😅) decided to take him and a friend to a Hank Jr. concert, since they are both big fans. Our thought process: “Hank Jr. is old now… sure his music is timeless, but it’s bound to draw an older, more calm crowd nowadays.” NOPE. 😆🥴 

The trip morphed into a group trip with the friend’s parents and sister, and my dad joined us, too! All was well until a thunderstorm sent everyone to the concessions area where we were packed in like sardines for TWO HOURS to avoid the lightening and rain best we could. 😳 Well, you can only imagine most people there had only one thing to do during the two hour wait, so that by the time we could return to our seats, it was quite the scene. 🙈 Our sweet, sheltered homeschooled children were awakened to some of the ways of the world that night, for sure. 🤣🥴 Gracious!!! 

But alas, Hank came out on stage and was GREAT, even still as an older man in his 70’s. He played alllll the instruments, and even still could throw his leg up on the piano! 🤣😳

The boys ended their first year of fishing for PAC last April in 10th place; which was amazing for them! They overcame many obstacles and learned to fish better as partners. This particular tournament happened to fall on Jason’s birthday (he’s their boat captain), so our friends camping close-by helped him celebrate. 🤣😁

(We enjoyed it to the fullest and it FLEW by; so, slowing down to make posts didn’t happen. I don’t even know how it’s almost September. 🥴)

In April, we ventured to Beaufort with my family to see the Blue Angels in action. 🤩 They were awesome to see in person!
