Misty Saves the Day: The Team

I grew up in Waldorf, MD as a military kid and eventually moved to Fredericksburg, VA after graduating from Roanoke College. I majored in Literary Studies (a fancy way of saying that I absolutely LOVE to read) and minored in Spanish and Communication.

While my degree nurtured my love for words and storytelling, it also fed my drive for problem solving and analyzing. I was able to not only place myself in stories or other-worldly landscapes, but also focus on decoding the history of a writer and the impact of life through multiple lenses.

SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER

Bonjour, I am Kat! I’m a 5th generation Virginian with an extensive career spanning over 15 years in promotion, public relations, event planning, hosting events, and social media. My passion for supporting the arts and my community (and French & American culture) shine through the many notable recognitions I have received locally and internationally.

I love the influence of social media and the connections forged with the brands and businesses I've had the privilege to amplify through my dedication and effort. I don’t think of them as clients but as part of my friend circle and an important part of our community. I have worked with the Daughters of the American Revolution, The Lafayette Trail, Journey Seven Media, The American Friends of Lafayette, the Norfolk Tour Co, the Daily Press, Portfolio magazine, AltDaily, and Ninevolt magazine.

In my free time, I spend time with my beautiful 5 year old daughter, do genealogy research, explore historic places with my fiancee, listen to true crime and history podcasts, attend history inspired events, craft tiny hats and embellish clothing for social gatherings, and drink lots of coffee. Oh and my favorite place to spend a day is Yorktown, Virginia

My real name is Sandra, but I go by Sandy! I was born and raised in Hampton Roads, VA and love that it offers such a variety of locations to fit whatever vibe you are going for! I am happily married (10 years!) and have three kids who keep me on my toes! I love to craft, bake, and enjoy a good cup of coffee at local coffee shops! When I am not binge watching The Office for the 100th time, I am constantly watching educational videos about photography. My interest in photography started back when I was in high school (DARK ROOM DAYS), and since then, I’ve always continued learning and investing in my passion. It wasn’t until recently that I made the plunge and went full time! I love fun props, color, and bringing high energy to sessions. Working with small + local businesses is important to me—when I first started my photography business, it was hard to find anyone locally to bounce ideas off of or even reach out to for guidance. I want to be able to help small businesses by elevating their brand with beautiful images and showcasing their services or products in a creative way.

Some of my favorite things (besides family + friends) are:
the office, parks & rec, superstore, golden girls, bridesmaids
chocolate, salsa, lolly’s ice cream
champagne, coffee, champagne
cooking, baking, crafting

Sandy owns her own amazing photography business, Sandra Leigh Photo, and kindly fills in and helps based on her availability.

My name is Jenny, and I am an avid lover of winged eyeliner, summer breezes and fall colors, but cold weather and mornings are my mortal enemies. I am a single mom of two (yes two) teenage boys who keep me busy but also inspire me. I was born and raised right here in Hampton Roads— which doesn't make me a townie, it makes me a local expert. My life's motto? "What doesn't kill you will make a hilarious story once the embarrassment wears off."

Growing up, I always wanted to be a rockstar. No, literally, a rockstar. I spent over a decade in the music industry as a singer and songwriter, but eventually learned that it wasn't necessarily the stage that I love, but entertaining people. Once I had kids, I took that creative energy and put it into writing, and spent the next decade helming a popular mommy blog, publishing two parenting-humor books, working with brands in print and on television, and learning all about how to grow on social media (with the help of coffee, of course). I bring all of this experience and energy into my work as a Social Media Manager, because if there's one thing I love, it's creating content that gets attention. I also know WAY too much about hashtags.

When I can tear myself away from the computer, you'll find me riding roller coasters with my kids, playing video games, and being dragged around by my absolutely bananas Husky, Mia. I'm also an unashamed Disney nerd with an entire sleeve of Disney princesses, so I might have a little bit of Peter Pan energy brewing inside— because growing old is mandatory, growing up is not!

Hello, beautiful world! I'm Jonisha, originally from the small state of Connecticut, but destiny led me to Virginia where I pursued my college education and found my second home in the Seven Cities. The journey thus far has been nothing short of magical, filled with moments that turned acquaintances into lifelong friends, creating a tight-knit family away from home. While Virginia has been my sanctuary, I feel a stirring within me, urging me to spread my wings and share my gifts with the world.
Since childhood, creativity has been my constant companion, with music as my muse. Every melody evokes a cascade of ideas, fueling my passion for storytelling and content creation. There's an inexplicable joy in crafting narratives that resonate deeply with others, weaving together threads of inspiration to create something truly meaningful.
As I embark on this new chapter of exploration and self-discovery, I invite you to join me on this journey. Let's unlock the boundless potential of creativity together, painting the world with our unique stories and experiences.

Hi! My name is Casen, and I recently graduated from Liberty University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Lynchburg and met many of best friends during my time there! I am back in my hometown of Virginia Beach where I can be found combining two of my favorite things when I’m not working: my friends and being outside! While I love Virginia Beach, I am also the first one ready to book a flight for my next travel adventure. I’m partial to tropical areas but can be convinced to go just about anywhere.

I have a passion for social media, in large part because it allows me to help and serve others. I am stoked to be able to work with a team that prioritizes this, and I’m looking forward to helping YOU meet your goals.

Hey there! I honestly have no idea what to say so I’m going to list my favorite things about myself, instead!

I'm a recent graduate from the University of NC at Wilmington with a degree in Psychology.

Dance has been a part of me since the age of 2, shaping both my discipline and creativity.

When it comes to food, nothing beats my two comfort foods: bacon and tacos. And I'm not opposed to them being together either! That being said, I genuinely enjoy exploring new foods and am down to try (almost) anything.

I'm a devoted fan of murder mysteries, spending my downtime engrossed in shows like Criminal Minds, Bones, and NCIS.

I also find joy in curling up with a good book, especially if it is a thriller!
Life's all about learning, moving, and savoring every moment!

My name is Anne-Porter Hudgins. Born and raised in Virginia Beach, I have always carried such a love and appreciation for the area and especially the community.

I attended Christopher Newport University to keep my networks near (made it across the bridge, don’t even worry) and studied Philosophy and Religion. I enjoyed understanding people’s whys. I love transferring my critical thinking and analysis skills to social media marketing, a field I believe has much to do with human desire. I love how social media provides a platform for illuminating core values in action for businesses.

As a constant learner of life, I love how ever-changing social media is. There is always something new to read and learn how to use to increase brand awareness.

When I’m not working, you can probably find me on a walk, on the beach with friends, or on my yoga mat.

Hi, y’all! I’m Britney Lowe—a social worker by education but a lover of people and the human experience since birth. I took a whim on social media management after Misty Saves the Day posted an opening. A close friend told me I would regret it my whole life if I didn’t apply. It turns out she was right. It’s been amazing to see how my social worker strengths have blended perfectly with helping people share their stories on social media. I LOVE getting to know our clients—like really, really getting to know them—and then using that relationship to create a space for them in the world that is wholly their own.

I recently returned to North Carolina in the Wilmington area. I have an adorable son who was born for a beach bum lifestyle. We look forward to surfing lessons, learning to cruise on our longboards, and paddle boarding around the intercostal waterway. When I’m not collecting seashells with him, you can find me behind a camera or hunting for the nearest local bookstore.I can make a friend out of a stranger in minutes and only know how to love with my whole, big heart. I can’t wait to get to know you!

I am a proud "boy mom" to two teenage sons, ages 16 and 14, and have been happily married to my husband, Erik, for 20 years. We spent nearly a decade in Virginia Beach while Erik, served as a pilot at NAS Oceana. Upon his retirement in 2020, we moved back to my hometown of Valdosta, GA, where we've found a love for small-town living.

Outside of work, I've had a passion for photography since 2011, specializing in wedding photography until recently transitioning to private photo editing. I'm also a dedicated CrossFitter of 10 years, avid reader, and love all plants (despite occasionally being put on restriction from buying more!).

My active teenage boys keep me on my toes—whether it's supporting my wakeboarding daredevil or comforting my aspiring golfer after a tough round. I take immense pride in watching them navigate this exciting stage of their lives. My husband and I cherish quiet evenings at home and prioritize spending time with our extended family and close friends.

The professional things you need to know about me: Bachelor of Science in Communications and Counseling from Old Dominion University. Mom. Wife. Dog Owner. Photographer. Lover of the Outside. I like to ride bikes of all kinds.

The more important stuff, written by my best friend, Mike Dragon with Dragon Studio, who took a majority of the photos for us that you see all over this website - including the one to the left:

I’ve been Misty’s best friend for about 8 or 9 years now… maybe longer. But what’s time really mean when you are spending it with the people most important to you? Right? Let me tell you a story… an origin story. I promise I’ll keep it short.

When I first knew Misty I did not like her. I had a preconceived opinion of who she was at the time. I even tried to get her in trouble one time… but a couple years later we would find ourselves paired up working on a project together. During that time I realized that Misty and I shared many things in common: hockey, music, movies, life goals, humor, are just a few examples. Slowly but surely we became inseparable.

Truly, that’s who she is. Misty is an enigma. She transcends space and time. She has a way of pulling you in- even when you don’t want to. She has a way of showing you the things you didn’t know you wanted to see.

I suppose I should mention some professional things about her too…

She works SO hard. Like unreasonably hard. And she ALWAYS always always wants to do everything she can for everyone- to a fault at points. She will be your biggest cheerleader and confidant. She’ll make you feel like you can do anything but not just that she’ll be right by your side through it all. If she doesnt know how to do it she’ll figure it out or she inevitably has someone in her back pocket that can.

She has an orbit and people, places and things are attracted to it. Trust me, I tried to resist having a girl best friend. But you’ll very quickly see you can’t resist the good times that Misty brings. And yea- she’s also hella professional too and you should probably hire her. I think I have to say that though since this is the bio on her website… but it’s true. All of it.
