This world is a very broken place right now. I’m sure it always has been, but the news and social media bring the broken right to our attention front and center daily and it’s hard to see what kind of acts of violence or tragedy have happened since the last one 10 minutes prior and…
Quarterly RESETS + Instagram Breaks | Salt Air Entrepreneur
I have been a business owner for 8 years – and like mentioned on this blog previously, I actually went almost the ENTIRE duration of that without taking more than a week off of social media. Even when all three of our children were born, every few days at least I was still posting and…
Essential Oils + Budgeting | Outer Banks Oils
Two years ago, two big changes occurred in our lives right around the same time. One was very negative, and the other was very positive and honestly we had no idea how great it was about to be… it ended up being the catalyst to something amazing for us and we are SO thankful. We…
Jessica + Rob | Kill Devil Hills Engagements
What can I even say – the sweetest and most hilarious moments happened during this engagement session last night in Kill Devil Hills and these two are GOLDEN! The light was, too, and I wasn’t mad about that at all! Jessica and Rob don’t take life too seriously but they are seriously in love. I…
2020 Weddings | Amanda Hedgepeth Photography
Okay, so I’m really posting this finally…I KNOW, I just literally couldn’t bring myself to do it for weeks! Can I have the excuse of the three kids and running the nonprofit and the oil business and this photography business, too? No, I can’t – because I just kept putting this one off on purpose,…
Heather + Ben | Richmond Virginia Wedding

Stephanie + Kyle | Corolla Engagements
In Corolla on literally THE windiest day we’ve had in so long, I got to meet Stephanie & Kyle for their engagement session and we totally braved it together! This part of the island is really narrow and the beach AND sound were both like wind tunnels whipping us around and we totally made the…

Up at 4:30 A.M. | Salt Air Entrepreneur
I know people who would shudder at this blog title, HA! But they are also the night owls who outdo me in staying up late. What do you MEAN you were up until 11pm!?!? LOL! I can’t even. I used to be a night owl and after Cammy started elementary school – we had to…
Polkadot Sweater & Red Heels Project | Elle Marie 5 Years!
This girl. If I could tell you how I feel about her – I think we would be talking for the rest of my life. She is sugar, and she’s biscuits, and she’s kindness and she’s gratitude and she’s caring and she’s LOVE. Ellie is love. She is charmingly awkward (is that me, too? LOL)…

White Sweater & Glittery Heels Project | 7 Years | Cammy Mae
Camryn Mae… you are like this tiny (yet tall, LOL) little force that continues to surprise and impress me daily. You read to your sisters, you get INSPIRED and continually dream up businesses you could run (and bring them to life like MacGyver with the most obscure items and it’s extremely incredible) and you are…
