Millie and I met in the foyer of a NYC hotel back in 2007 when we both attended Jessica Claire’s Xtreme! photography workshop. She and I became instant friends. We would meet up at other workshops across the country and eventually teamed up with Kelly Moore and Davina Fear to host the Love Affair Workshop in Bald Head Island, NC, Atlanta, San Diego and Dallas! We try to get together once a year to keep up with each other.

 

A month or two ago Millie contacted me to ask about flying my to Wilmington, NC to photograph her son’s adoption ceremony on his third birthday. This tired momma needed a creative vacation, even if it was only for 30 hours, I said YES!!! As we talked more about it we saw the impending doom of Wilmington with Hurricane Florence. I would watch the NC forecast and youtube updates on the hurricane for the week up to the eye hitting Top Sail beach, NC less than a week before I was supposed to fly there.

 

Then entire area was getting flooded by Flo. Millie was unsure if her adoption ceremony would still even happen. The day before my flight she told me to come ahead the next morning and fly anyways and we would just pray that everything was still on. To her amazement the county courthouse was able to schedule her ceremony in a different place and everything was still on after the previous place was completely underwater.

 

I was able to do a lifestyle session for her and her two adopted kiddos in her new house also! Millie has incredible style and a deep, deep love for the babies that she fostered and has now officially adopted!
