It’s such a rare opportunity to stand in front of a great friend’s family and closest friends to deliver a speech about how much you love her. My friend Lindsey got married this month and I was her maid of honor.
“I have known Lindsey since third grade– when we wore matching Umbros and …
I photographed Piper and Katie one year ago in the same park for my essay on the bonds of sisterhood. I reached out to her mom again this spring asking if I could photograph the girls again because I enjoyed the shoot last year. It sounds ambitious to say this only after the second …
I’ve been a bridesmaid in enough weddings (and have enough dresses I’ll never wear again in my closet) to realize that for this day, this group of women is a sisterhood. I’ve photographed enough weddings to witness brides being dressed and calmed by their closest friends who they’ve asked to witness their day behind …

This project exploring sisterhood is personal, as it stems from the love I have for my little sister (you can read about that here). So, I’ve decided that in this lull of waiting for returned phone calls …
“Sisterhood is unconditional friendship and support, it’s raucous laughter, it’s celebrating and mourning together. It’s not always easy and is sometimes quite complicated, but in the end, you’re sisters and there just isn’t another bond like it.” -Kathleen Poe

There is a home, a convent, in Atlanta that is attached to a hospital of more than two dozen people. Dying people. The women who tend to the patients are in their 60s to 90s. Years ago, before they dedicated their lives to serving the Lord, one woman was a black jack dealer, another …
I was thrilled when I first saw these twins because they are both so beautiful and timeless, and a little awkward, like any little girl in some phase of her life. (Like me in a lot of phases in my life.)
Piper was in purple, Katie in blue. Their shared birthday is St. Patrick’s Day, …
The sorority is a sisterhood of chosen sisters. I photographed sorority rush at the University of Georgia last fall. The girls wake up at the crack of dawn, put on dresses, and march up and down Milledge Avenue’s sorority row. The mansions with columns are filled with sisters waiting to meet the anxious pledges. …
While working on a photo essay on the last days of Gilbert Manor Project, Augusta’s oldest housing project, I got to spend some time with Nataisja, 5, and Natya, 3, as they played on the playground and completely destroyed a discarded couch (just days before it was bulldozed, a couple days before they were …
I decided that I wanted to photograph sisters in Sun City, Arizona while I was there last and before my huge-help-on-this-project-fixer-and-Sun-City-resident gave me the names of some sisters he knows in town, I met Ruby and Marti sunning by the Lakeview Pool, side by side, peering out under sun hats, their toes with matching …
