Motherhood

Erin & Wes | Beaufort, South Carolina Spanish Moss Filled Maternity Session

My gosh have I missed the Spanish moss drenched oak trees in the beautiful Lowcountry! My soul feels at peace being back on the south’s coast even though I could forever do without the humidity. Lord give me the strength and patience to accept that back into my life after having the amazing California dry heat in my life for quite some time. Okay, well 100+ degrees of dry heat isn’t THAT much better but the California coast’s weather is something to dream about. Anyway, one of my first treats back in the Lowcountry was the pleasure of documenting this glowing mama-to-be, Erin, and her ever so patient husband, Wes. We were not even sure this session was going to happen with work schedules and whatnot, but we made it happen and I’m oh so happy with the outcome! A pure treat and surely an amazing welcome back to this lovely place I am, for now, calling home.

BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT alexis

Rooted in the Lowcountry, where the sea breeze feels like home. You’ll find me on the back porch, soaking in the coastal sounds, in my favorite jeans and tee. A Jersey girl at heart, fueled by Waffle House and country music—especially Kane Brown on repeat.

Born and raised in a small town in New Jersey, I truly believe in the saying, ‘You can take the girl out of Jersey, but you can’t take the Jersey out of the girl.’ At 18, I left the Garden State to join the Marine Corps, and since then, I’ve called a few different places home. Now, I’m a proud mom to three amazing kids and two furry companions who would call me ‘mom’ if they could.

I live for crisp fall days, can never say no to a good bowl of pasta, and—despite my best efforts—I can’t go a week without a refreshing canned Coke. My love for interior design runs deep (even if I wish I were better at it), and in my spare time, I’m always finding new ways to make my little golf cottage feel like home
