Hello friends – and those newcomers to my blog who may stumble upon this post. I have a very specific request for a very special and heart-wrenching reason.

Read MoreAlyssa + Chris // Destination Wedding | Outer Banks, NC from Josh Gooden on Vimeo. Is this video not incredible? I just love everything about it. The music for the video, the genuine expressions on everyone’s faces that are being filmed, the scenery which I grew up spending so much time at (the big orange […]
Read MoreMy Gaga is a lovely lady – she is on the far right here (with my Mom and her sister N on Easter in 1979). A great lady in my life is my Grandmama. She is a lovely person, too. (you know I had to throw in the picture of me as a bebe! ha!) […]
