When Rylan comes home from school it’s always fun to catch up doing a photoshoot.  The venue, Ellendale Farms, is stunning and has some of the most beautiful sunsets and we were so lucky to get the perfect sunset with such a cool cloud feature. Here are a few pictures from Rylan’s fun photoshoot!

On our last weekend of Christmas carriage rides I love to take my camera and get some pictures of all of the carriages.  We always get to see it from inside the carriage but not what it looks like to other people and it’s so magical. Getting to work for Carolina Carriage Company every year is a […]
