My “Personal” Bio:
Thank you for visiting! I am blessed to call the sparkling emerald beaches and breathtaking sunsets of the Gulf Coast “home”.
I am a Momma to 3 beautiful children (1 daughter + son-in-law and 2 sons) and a wife to the best husband any girl could ask for. Without him, this dream of mine would not be possible. Like really! I know everyone says that, but he really is the other half to my craziness!
Being in front of the camera can be intimidating- I get it! But I guarantee you will enjoy our time together and you won’t feel as though you are working with a stranger, we will be more like friends and family! I will snuggle your babies, make farting noises, chase birds and tell your husband he owes you a bottle of wine afterwards!
A little about me? I love my coffee in the morning & wine in the evening 😉 I am a neat freak at home and can actually manage all stages of laundry in one day if I’m super motivated, although I would much rather chase a sunset, play some type of sport with my boys or beg them to snuggle instead. I love to fish (maybe more than my hubby – he says “I doubt that”) and am constantly chasing the sunset. I truly struggle with learning how to take a “day off”.
