This is your last summer before you’re out of high school – only 3 short months! What should you do with it. Here are my 5 tips to make the most of this time!

Layla is such a sweet soul! I’ve had the privilege of working with her family over several years along with watching her dance at my daughter’s dance studio, so I’ve seen her grow up!

Love this girl so much! She asked to include downtown Kinston and she also wanted to get out in nature. Chandler came to my house with her mom, Susan, and 3 dogs loaded up in her car.
