This cool Charleston artwork I put up when I redid This cool Charleston artwork I put up when I redid the office last fall got taken down when the floor and everything had to get redone. It’s been hanging out next to my desk ever since. That’s one of the best parts about scheduling deadlines for myself – I might regret it, but I sure do get a lot done! 😂

Starting to see some fall color and leaves falling Starting to see some fall color and leaves falling here in Charleston 🍁 I really enjoyed putting together this autumnal wedding invitation suite for a photoshoot @143maxwellevents. I wanted the overlay to feel like you were peeking through the trees at golden hour. Thanks to @heathermossphoto for photographing it so beautifully!

Yesterday was quite the day! Took my daughter on a Yesterday was quite the day! Took my daughter on a class field trip to the beautiful one-of-a-kind @cypress_gardenssc so we started our morning with a boat ride, dip net fishing, picnics and playgrounds.

Then after school we took off for the @thecoastalcarolinafair! Growing up here, the fair was a huge deal, so we’re keeping that tradition alive. It was a late night filled with junk food and rides and fun! But also maybe one of my most exhausting days in recent memory 😂

So glad we took this trip! We flew directly to Bos So glad we took this trip! We flew directly to Boston and  spent a night - we had to make sure to see our friend Audrey @bostonfoodietours and I also had a date with my favorite pasta dish from @scampoboston 😂. Oh and of course our happy place @beaconhillbooksandcafe! 📚 

Then we drove into southern Maine for a couple days and did all the things - picked apples, saw lighthouses, threw rocks in a stream, explored Portland and Kennebunkport, and checked out the humongous @llbean campus.

Such a fun and relatively easy long weekend getaway! Totally different world from home. Can’t wait to go back so we can get up to Acadia and Bar Harbor and all that fun stuff.
