Welcome to the Journal—a collection of personal essays and photography exploring everyday life, mindful living, and the beauty of in-between moments. From seasonal reflections and travel to motherhood, relationships, and the quiet art of becoming, each entry is an Edit: a small, intentional pause to notice what matters and document the season we're in. Pull up a chair and stay a while.
Edit 14: A Walk for Peace
Today, I stood along the path of the Walk for Peace in Fort Mill and let my camera do what words cannot always manage.
Each step felt like a quiet offering. Each face carried both weight and hope. I didn’t come to explain or interpret what I saw, only to witness it.
Today, my Edit is not commentary, it is about presence.
May these images speak in the language they know best.
Edit 13: Why Not Us?
A reflection on the Ole Miss Rebels season, the courage in showing up, and the quiet truth that progress doesn’t have to be loud to be real on the field, behind the camera, or in life.
Edit 12: Twelfth Night
A New Orleanians reflection on Twelfth Night, Carnival’s beginning, and a season of color, celebration, and coming home.
Edit 11: The Beauty in Daily Rituals
A note on slowing down, noticing the little things, and finding meaning in moments that don’t ask for much at all.
Edit 10: January, Edited
A January reflection on choosing less, slowing down, and entering the new year with fearlessness.
Edit 9: Petit Merci
A quiet morning in Charleston led to Petit Merci-a French-inspired neighborhood market and café discovered slowly, with charm, warmth, and just enough surprise.
Edit 8: Holiday, Lightly
A holiday escape to Charleston-a change of scenery, a choice for presence, and a reminder that tradition moves with the people you love.
Edit 5: When the Work Starts Asking Back
The moment creativity asks for more-and why the thrill still wins.
Edit 4: Proof of Becoming
Between a few yeses and a camera always within reach, becoming has started to feel real.
Edit 3: Through A New Lens
I’ve taken thousands of pictures across countries, cameras, mistakes, edits, and learning curves. I’ve cringed, celebrated, tried again, and grown. And now? Someone is paying me to do something I truly love. So yes-this old girl is celebrating. Champagne poured, bubbles rising, ears still ringing from the shutter click.
Here’s to the first paid job-and to all the beautiful edits ahead.
Edit 2: What Does It Mean?
A curated look at the moments, choices, and stories that evolve with us.
Edit 1: Welcome to the In-Between
A soft landing place for the stories behind my photos and the moments shaping my life. Life, Edited begins in the in-between-where gratitude, growth, and a little photographic sparkle all meet.
