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!

I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always
I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always have. And that doesn’t stop when they are teenagers. 🥰 February 21, 2026 was Gus’ first reenactment- the Battle of Aiken! You can tell by the black powder on his face, too, as that is the initiation. 😁

He planned for this day for a year. One of his buddies briefly mentioned after the 2025 one that they should look into being involved. Well, that conversation sparked a drive in this boy! Although the friend didn’t go onto being involved, Gus knew he would! So he saved up some money and purchased his gear. 

At the last minute, the unit he was originally registered with backed out of attending due to potential bad weather. So that left us scrambling. We told him not to worry and to just pack the vehicle with all his gear and we would just drive on to Aiken and figure it out when we get there. 😅 And by divine intervention, I’m sure of it, he ended up with the most wonderful unit of reenactors that he will continue with now, for years to come. 🙌🙏 

PS: he had his heart set on representing the South, but his unit was drafted to portray Union federalists at the last minute. 🤪

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to get away for a couple days with my grandma, mama, and two of my aunts! Such a blessing!!! 💜 We perused the beach for shells and at night played the game ‘Taco, Goat, Cat, Cheese, Pizza’ (there were only two games provided in the house 🤣); all of us came away with some type of bruise. 🤣 We also had the Stone family famous shrimp ‘n grits for breakfast one morning! This trip was such a treasure!

These fellas had a heckuva start to their fishing tournament season this past Saturday. 😅 First, their typical boat captain was under the weather, so had to play switch-a-roo on boat *and* captain. Then, about 11am during the tournament the boat they were in broke down, leaving them only the section of the lake they could access with the trolling motor. Thankfully, a fellow team boat captain (and our church pastor!) was able to return his anglers to weigh-in, then make the run across the lake to snatch up these two fellas and get them to the dock in time for weigh-in. SHEW Y’ALL! 😅😵‍💫 They still managed 4 of the 5 fish limit with 10.04 lbs. 🙌
