Samantha’s journey to boudoir comes from her own experience with physical trauma. In 2021, Samantha began a medical journey that led to her having a permanent ostomy bag placed in 2022.

It’s been a whileeeee since I’ve blogged. Since then, I’ve had a baby, bought a house, survived a pandemic — it’s been a ride! Why then, might you ask, would I choose this wedding to blog about after so much time?? It was the perfect day with the right mix of style, intimacy and golden […]

Stephanie & Tanner tied the knot earlier this month at the Austin family’s Christmas tree farm in Ashe county. Their wedding date 10/10/2020 was by far the most popular date this year and it […]

Mary & Bennett’s wedding was such a sweet surprise as they booked me just one week before their small, intimate celebration at Diamond Falls Preserve in Bat Cave, NC.
