carrie, barrett & baby cole

the first shot when my website opens is of a vintage car traveling down a tree lined road…the couple tucked inside and oh-so-in love are carrie & barrett…and now their family has grown!  what a happy reunion to meet their little one!
(carrie & barrett, i think you’re pretty fantastic – if at any point you need a ‘gushing reference’: someone who can go on an on about your wonderfulness, just send ‘em my way ;))

where does the family start? it starts with a young man falling in love with a girl -
no superior alternative has yet been found.

hi friends!

it’s been a little while – we are busy bees and sometimes the blog gathers a tiny bit of dust this time of year.
first, thank you over and over again for an absolutely magnificent summer!  it has been the best!

there’s so much to share…oh my!  but i’ll start with a peek at a couple great events the lexington cancer foundation organized – their annual wine auction and hats for life.  i’m so impressed with what this foundation does – every event is impeccable.  and kristi martin, the executive director, manages to craft events that are both elegant and FUN!   i feel deeply honored to record a tiny bit of the work they do and adore the amazing women on their board.
