Handcrafted small batches of candles, incense and home goods intentionally created with and for love, positivity and enjoyment.
be intentional
Whatever you are needing in the moment…be intentional about creating an environment or enhancing your mood that is conducive for achieving just that!
their thoughts…
“You have the best incense hands down! I don’t even want to burn my drawer full of previously purchased incense.” -Amy (cedar + saffron incense sticks)
“Absolutely LOVE the candles!! The smell is so wonderful; I can smell it in the room even when it’s not lit. I have one of the three wick cement bowl candles and it is my most favorite candle I have ever owned.” -Kirsten (cement candle)
moloi cement jewelry is handcrafted from a source of authentic and fierce, divine creativity that is inviting you to intentionally: Be Bold. Be Unique. Make a Statement.
May you be unapologetic in being your unique divine self!
There is something satisfying and grounding about working with cement. Working with material often associated with hardness and permanency in such a soft and gentle way made a powerful statement to me as I broke through traditional concepts and ideas for using cement.
Seeing it with fresh and curious eyes, made me realize what happens as I evolve through the nontraditional, free flowing creative process… a new shape, new form, a new way of being emerges from a divinely inspired space.
That is exactly what wearing these pieces of art invites you to do: break through traditional concepts and ideas and allow that divinely inspired space within you to emerge — like a flower breaking through the sidewalk.
The energy of wearing moloi cement jewelry invites you to…
- honor yourself from the place of evolutionary curiosity, always creating space for new ways of being, as growth occurs.
- look at creative ways you can express YOU and burst through the cemented places within yourself, encouraging your own blossoming.
- Stand boldly in your uniqueness. Bring softness to hard places. Be Gentle. Be Balanced.
What they are saying…
“I’ve gotten so many compliments.!!! They are beautiful and I just LOVE them!!! -Victoria (semi classics)
“I feel bold, courageous and grounded when I wear my earrings.” -Kimmy (ring buffalo horn)

Hi! I’m Amy Hill. I am the owner and photographer behind 627 Photography in Cary, NC. I love to help women business owners tell the story of their brand and business through photos. It’s more than just a headshot, it is a way to show visitors to your website why they want to work with you. In this digital world where we meet so many online, you have to standout and you have to connect!
In addition to beautiful branding photos for women, I also love to photograph + empower high school seniors. I love to make them feel special, confident and happy with who they are. I take time to learn about them and create a fun, custom session that results in the most beautiful pictures they’ve ever seen of themselves!
I am a boutique wedding & family photographer who believes in providing a one-of-a-kind, personalized session experience and artwork that you will love forever. Since 2009 my goal has been to photograph families and couples in a relaxed, joyful and artistic way.
I began studying photography when everyone shot film (remember film?) and I learned the classic art of black & white film processing & printing. There is something so powerful about making each print by hand, each result a unique piece of art. When I switched to digital in 2005, I brought to it my love for honesty in the images I create for works of art you will treasure.
My life with 2 children (12 & 9) and two large dogs is usually pretty crazy, but it’s also full of love and laughter and I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world. Next to photography my favorite thing in the whole world is chocolate. Ok, and the beach, and pretty much anywhere there is good food & good friends- life is meant to be enjoyed!
Raleigh Durham Family Photographer
