COASTAL CAROLINA

THE COAST IS CALLING

CAN YOU HEAR IT ?

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

Anyone who has ever walked along the shores of

the North Carolina coast knows it’s a special place.

There’s something different here.

Life moves a little slower, to the rhythm of ocean

waves and salty breezes. From coastal dunes and

sun-kissed beaches, to tides that ebb and flow —

this is Coastal Carolina’s heart and soul.

Dive into these pages and experience

a saltwater escape.

INTRO

Saltwater runs through my veins…

Where do you feel most alive? For me, I feel

most at home when I’m by the sea. The North Car-

olina coast has always had my heart. There’s

something magical and mysterious, yet always

familiar, about Coastal Carolina. To breathe in

the salty air while listening to the crashing

waves and the seagulls serenade, is what makes

my heart sing.

I remember childhood summers spent at “the cot-

sidered a good day! I remember the magic of

seeing dolphins swimming underneath my Grandpa’s

boat, as if they were coming by to say “hello”.

I remember swimming by the pier until the sun

dipped below the horizon, as the vibrant colors

When my feet touch the sand and feel the ocean’s

embrace, I feel alive and full of wonder. The

beauty of God’s creation inspires me like noth-

ing else can. Capturing nature’s landscapes on

My Grandma Betty, who also happens to be one

of my best friends, has always loved the ocean

and photography. She certainly instilled those

same two passions in me. After over a decade as

a professional photographer, I’ve come to know

the value of a photograph and the impact it can

make. My hope is that this collection of images

will inspire wanderlust in us all — from the

shoreline of North Carolina and beyond.
