Georgia Holiday | Savannah & Tybee Island

“If you search the world for happiness, you may find it in the end, for the world is round and will lead you back to your door.” ~ ROBERT BRAULT

Photo of lighthouse off Tybee Island, Georgia.Ahhhhh…..Georgia! How I adore my new home State. It’s been almost a year since my family moved to Georgia and we’ve been doing a lot of exploring as we make this our home. We couldn’t be happier. Such a wonderful fit. We recently took a mini holiday in the Savannah area. It has always been a place that I dreamed of visiting and I am so happy to be only a short three and a half hour drive from there. We stayed in Savannah and visited Tybee Island and Jekyll Island. I brought one film camera, one lens and two rolls of film to photograph the area as I wanted to keep things simple and organic as I captured this beautiful area. Above is a photo of one of the lighthouses off Tybee Island from our dolphin boat excursion with Captain Mike. It was the best dolphin outing we’ve ever had with great views and a ton of dolphin sightings at sunset.

Above is a photo of one of the beaches at Tybee Island. It was a hot day, but the water was refreshing and the beach wasn’t overly crowded. Pretty perfect.

The first two pictures below were from our visit at Jekyll Island‘s historic district. The remaining images are from around historic Savannah. I love the live oak trees and Spanish moss that delicately cascade down the tree limbs. I also love how in the south, people know how to make the ordinary extraordinary with their landscaping and the way their homes are presented. Quite magical and romantic. Such a beautiful area full of history and culture. I can’t wait to go back and explore some more.

It is certainly a magical time of year, but even more when you are expecting your little one to arrive. A Christmas tree farm was the perfect setting for this maternity portrait session!

Christmas is just around the corner. This little girl is on trend with the Ralph Lauren Christmas theme that is so popular this year. 

What decorating style do you gravitate towards? I am certainly traditional with my home decor for Christmas. White, cream, red and green.

This was the last of the Fall portrait sessions this year. Such a wonderful way to end the season. Love this family so much and such an honor to photograph them when everyone was in town for Thanksgiving. 

Hope everyone is having a blessed holiday season. Looking forward to Winter sessions!

Love the glow of Autumn sunlight dancing through the colorful hues of the trees. Quite magical. Love how the light shines on her hair and kisses the edges of her legs and dress.

During a session with me, if you see me looking around at the landscape, the sky and behind me, just know there is a reason. I am looking for the best light for your family and you!

There is absolutely nothing like cuddling with your baby. Such a wonderful thing to capture through portraiture. They only stay this little for a short time. Document all the details while you can.

Coming to an end of Autumn colors. Glad we were able to get that colorful glow for this senior last night! Great things ahead for this determined, smart, talented, sweet and beautiful young lady. Cannot wait to see what the future holds. 

The year is slipping by, and so are the stories waiting to be told. 

If you’re a senior ready to capture who you are right now—the laughter, the grit, the in-between moments—I have a few end-of-year spots left.

Let’s create images that feel like you. Message me to book your date.

As the air cools and the leaves turn golden, I always tell my families this:
fall portraits are all about letting the season wrap around you.
Neutrals do that beautifully.

Think creams, taupes, camel, warm grays—the tones that feel like soft sweaters and slow Sunday mornings. These shades don’t fight the scenery… they elevate it.

Mamas shine in cozy knits, flowing skirts, or a simple sweater dress.
Dads look effortless in chinos or jeans and a warm neutral sweater.
And little ones? They photograph like a dream in textured pieces—cords, ribbed knits, or those sweet simple dresses that never go out of style.

Keep it subtle. Keep it soft.
Let the textures do the talking.
Let the layers add that quiet luxury.
Let the colors stay calm so your connection can take center stage.

This is how we create those timeless, heirloom-worthy fall portraits you’ll love for years.
