It is cold and rainy here in Charleston today, so I’m getting inspiration and joy from these beautiful blooms and design! Has anyone else started thinking about Easter yet? I had a few minutes to myself shopping the other day and was able to snatch some Easter basket goodies for the kids, and I felt so accomplished getting it done so early! What do you do for Easter? 💕🌸💕 Photography: @karen.schanely Venue: @redtwigfarms Planning + Design: @rootedtogetherevents Host and Lead: @chelseyjbarhorst Linens + Napkins: @BBJlinen Tabletop decor + chairs: @eventsourcerental Stationary: @thepaperbetty 
If you need any convincing to do a beach session at sunset, here you go! Mallory and Mike had the most amazing, colorful sky, which reflected on the water and sand so beautifully! And the fluffy sea foam was the icing on top! They love the outdoors, and it was the perfect backdrop to celebrate their engagement! Who else loves the beach??? 💕🥰💕 
Happy Monday friends! We spent the weekend in Charlotte with Phil’s family. It was full of tacos, board games, and sweet family time - does it get any better? And now I’m ready to hit the ground running in this new month! It’s going to be a good one! And I can’t wait to be back at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens again soon with the spring flowers and trees almost ready to bloom! Isn’t this sitting area under the Spanish moss trees at Magnolia beautiful! Just the perfect little spot to sip some drinks and chat with friends! 🥂 Shot with second shooting with my amazing friend @katedyephoto 
Twirling into the weekend! 😍 I have sessions, weddings, and/or travel on the next 14 weekends, so this weekend I am spending lots of time with my family and relaxing before I put things into high gear this spring! 🙌🏻 What do you have planned for this weekend???

Who else loves a dramatic backdrop for pictures?! I love when the landscape or architecture enhances and frames the moment, and Emily and Alan were absolutely incredible! Also, I’m now dreaming of trips to Europe again! Who else wants to hop on a plane when travel is open and safe??? I will be first in line for Italian gelato. 💕 
This girl brings so much joy to our family, and while the decision to homeschool this year has brought some challenges, I am so thankful for all the extra time with her! This was a quick iPhone selfie we took a couple months ago and it is one of my favorites of the two of us. And she has already lost another tooth and cut 4 inches of hair! So this is your PSA to get in the picture! Time flies, and our kids change and grow so fast! This version of Abby’s smile is already gone! Message me if you want to freeze time and document your memories too! 💕
