In the Streets of Savannah: An Old World-Inspired Elopement

May 24, 2022

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been utterly captivated by the time-worn facades and draping mossy trees found in the streets of Savannah, Georgia.

These days, I’m longing for simpler times. I’m always so inspired by ages gone by, particularly the ones that allude to a more appreciative era. Maybe it’s how people seemed to walk more places back then, down to the ice cream parlor and back, or even to sneak some candy from the local market. The […]

If you know me, you know I am undeniably drawn to the connection between mother and child. Whether that sweet babe has joined this side of the world yet or not, the bond with its mama is evident.
