Donna and I headed South last week for a full day of fantastically fun photo shooting. Remember this post? I can't wait to share pictures from the adjacent Sunflower field. On the way back into Charlotte, I was feeling empty inside for a dose of heritage, so we stopped over in downtown Rock Hill, SC for a little by gone fulfillment. Encompassing the historic downtown, Winthrop University, the Textile Corridor and the city's original neighborhoods, Old Town is the heart of Rock Hill. Beyond a few family business meetings, I haven't been into downtown Rock Hill in quite some time. Well, it is just darling, and while it may be the "Old Town," there is also a bit of new splashed in this historic center. If you live in the Queen City you likely know cult French bakery, Amelie's of Noda, now taking the South by storm! Lovingly preserved, the most beautiful old bank in Old Town plays home to the newest Amelie's location. Should you find yourself in Rock Hill, SC, be sure to stop in Amelie's for a tasty treat. And quite actually, I recommend you do go find yourself in Old Town!
Donna and I shot these family photos last spring at my Dad's house. Paw Paw's Massey was parked in the shed, so cousin Russ drove his new big blue Ford over to Dad's for an all hands on deck photo shoot in efforts to get Garden & Gun Magazine's attention. My dream job would be styling and/or writing for them. Don't y'all think they totally need me? Hoping they'll soon bite in my relentless pursuit! Take a look and let me know what you think.
Thanks so much for being here!

PS-How cute are my people? Hoping to get them ALL in a shoot together soon!
