    SGMS Baseball Conference at HP Rockers Stadium

    The Knights from Southern Guilford Middle took on Allen Jay Prep All-Stars in a conference game held at the High Point Rockers Stadium.

    Kalei – Senior Year

    It’s been a year of laughter, tears and memories. My oldest daughter, Kalei was a senior this year. So we spent the year creating memories through photos. We had so much fun finding some of our favorite places. In two weeks, she’ll graduate from Southern Guilford HS (with honors) in Greensboro. And in just about 2 months, she’ll leave us for the University of Alabama, where she’ll be majoring in Geology with a minor in Evolutionary Studies. Her dreams of becoming a Paleontologist are just within reach. Despite all the craziness with this year, remote learning during the Covid pandemic, I wouldn’t have traded this for anything. It’s been one…

    Emily – 2021 Senior Prom

    We lived in Burlington, NC for many years. And that’s where my oldest Kalei and Emily became best friends. I’ve been blessed to know Emily since she was in elementary school, where both she and Kalei attended the same school and went to Western Alamance together. We have since moved away but I consider myself lucky to get to photograph her beautiful senior prom session. Her prom dress was a gorgeous shade of purple that complimented her eyes wonderfully. These images just turned out stunning!!

We spent a day traveling around capturing amazing photos around the incredibly lovely Charleston. We visited the College of Charleston, which will immediately transport you back to the old Southern lifestyle. The campus is filled with large oak trees overflowing with Spanish moss. It was breathtaking! Charleston is a city that will surround you with history and Rainbow Row is no exception. If you have never been to Rainbow Row, it’s a row of beautiful, colorful houses that line Bay Street. These houses were built pre-Revolutionary War.…
