Collins Birth Story

On March 11, 2020, our lives were forever changed when Collins Elisabeth Drake came into the world. A day that for so long felt so far out of reach, yet one that will live in our memory as the most special day of our lives. It’s the day we welcomed our daughter into the world and began our new journey as mom and dad! The emotions and experiences of that day are hard to put into words and why it has taken me nearly six months to share our story! There is truly nothing that parallels to giving birth and bringing another life into this world; an indescribable moment that I had to go through...

As I head full speed ahead into 2016, I can't help but look back and reflect on these milestone moments and (in the least cheesy way possible) count my blessings! From planning a marriage with the love of my life to launching a brand new format for Style Soufflé and partnering with brands that I only ever dreamed would become a reality, this year has been an...

Our somewhat small family usually travels during this time of the year, but with 2015 being exceptionally busy we decided to lay low and relax here at home in North Carolina....
