So excited to have styled and photographed the April cover of Our State Magazine!

I can hardly believe it has been thirteen years! I have had so many wonderful experiences, worked with so many talented people and have shot everything from 5 star hotels to farms, famous authors and ordinary folks, TV stars and fascinating characters. I truly love my job and am thankful to Our State’s wonderful crew for giving me so many opportunities to see North Carolina through the eyes of it’s people, food and landscape.
We have so many RCC interns over the last decade and this semester we had the pleasure of having Caroline Boone. She photographed me for the opener to this story. To be truthful, it always feels sort of funny to be on the other side of the camera but Carol made it fun.
