Carolina Girls!












Gabby and her Mom have always been a joy to photograph and today I give thanks for the wonders of digital photography! I can just keep snapping and snapping and sometimes some of the most magical things appear! Gabby on the beach at Huntington State Park is a joy to behold. Despite the unfortunate encounter with a not-so-friendly jellyfish, she is so at home in the waters of the Atlantic and on this beach. Her curious nature and love of all living things makes my heart sing.

Of all the lovely places that our lives have taken us, this unspoiled beach in South Carolina may be the place we were supposed to be all along. Who could have guessed that the road through South Dakota, Nebraska, Utah, California, Washington, and Colorado was going to lead us here? But my heart is happy here in the warm salt air, and after only a year, it so feels like home. My only regret is that our family is not closer to spend more time with us. But we are thankful for these wonderful days with Molly and Gabby, and now David has come to join the fun! Soon Chad, Rachel, and the boys will pay us a visit, and perhaps even Jason and Brayden will get to come before too many months go by. So this week we will appreciate the sunstreaked faces of those loved ones that are here enjoying the beauty of the Lowcountry!
