The most delicious and incredible evening at the inaugural “Amelia Island Cookout”at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island.

Outstanding food, tasty cocktails, and beautiful new friends that we will treasure. The Chefs were so friendly and engaging. The Ritz’s hospitality was absolutely perfect!

We can’t wait for next year!!!

Traveling makes me so happy! Are you a traveler or a homebody??

Not only are all four are our children attending the same high school this year, but Kennedy and Piper both made the JV CHEER TEAM at Fleming Island High School. 💚💛

We are so proud of both of them and ecstatic that they get to be on a high school sports team together!!

Quick but perfect visit with friends!!

Just the sweetest time with our youngest this week! Phoebe and I have been enjoying time together at the pool and beach in Singer Island. Stay tuned for more…..including photos and video of the manatees we found in the ocean!!!

Benefit event in our matching leather dresses. Helping to raise important funds!

That time we got stuck in the Barbie Box!

When you have identical twins, life is just a little different…..I say “Smile” and they both look at each other instead. 🤣😂

Love you silly girls!

When I am not in front of the camera or in front of a microphone, you can catch me behind the camera catching all the action.

Having a strong passion for the art of photography and a love of people ignites my enthusiasm for taking photographs of life’s events, Both big and small.

Ali and I have a shared passion for photography and family.

Here is our story of Penny Hawk photography co.

Ali and I met because our kids went to school together and then ironically one day we moved in across the street from each other. Both into new homes with 7 kids between us it was a revolving door! We became friends and learned that we had a really strong connection. We had both lost parents and it hit hard. My mom died very suddenly from a brain aneurysm. Her dad died somewhat suddenly from cancer. She found that her dad always leaves her pennies to help her feel like she’s on the right path and my mom has hawks visiting me constantly wherever I go. So we named our company PennyHawk.

I hope that when you have an occasion for photography that you would let us honor you by reaching out and referring us to your loved ones.

To complete Gabi‘s birthday celebration. I made reservations at the extraordinary Jazz Corner on Hilton head Island. We were blessed with music by the jazz band Folderol . They performed current hits in the style of the 20s. They completely blew our minds!!

Dinner and food was truly outstanding, and we highly recommend the Jazz Corner. We all met the band after the performance and everyone was very gracious.

Piper was invited to attend the vocal Jazz camp on Hilton Head Island in July. She is super excited and we can’t wait to see and hear all that she learns.

Gabi’s birthday was truly special and unique just like she is. I love you, Gabi Girl!🎶
