From Vet Visits to Island Vibes: A Week in My Life

This past week has been an unforgettable mix of work, adventure, and rest—and I couldn’t be more grateful for every bit of it.

Monday started in a familiar place—behind the camera, doing what I love. I spent the morning at East Davie Animal Hospital capturing a branding session inside their beautiful office. There’s something special about photographing small businesses that truly care for their clients (and in this case, their furry ones!).

That evening, I wrapped up my final sunflower mini session of the season in Mocksville, NC. The blooms were stunning, the light was golden, and the families were full of smiles. It was the perfect ending to a beautiful summer tradition.

By Tuesday, my suitcase was out and excitement was building—I was getting ready for something BIG: a tropical getaway to Turks and Caicos!

We took off Wednesday morning, and by lunchtime, we were soaking in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. From the moment we landed, it was all about rest, sunshine, and island exploration. We stayed Wednesday through Sunday, and each day was a dream.

We lounged on the soft sand, floated in the crystal-clear water, sipped iced lattes and tropical drinks, and indulged in delicious food made fresh daily. From beach strolls to shell spotting and boat rides, every corner of Turks and Caicos felt like a postcard come to life. The island was peaceful, breathtaking, and exactly what I needed to recharge.
