Family photos | Spartanburg, SC Family Photographer

Tanya contacted me probably sometime last summer excited that all four of her boys were going to be home over Christmas and wanted to know if we could do a family session, of course I said YES!!  I hadn’t ever met her & Jeff’s oldest son but I’ve known the younger three for a good number of years and watched them grow up (if that’s what you want to call it)… I can definitely say that for Matt because he was either in middle school or starting high school when I first met him and now he is beyond high school!! This family means a lot to me and it’s been fun getting to know them over the years… from having the younger two in youth group, to backpacking in Oklahoma (from crossing rivers, to seeing a bear… to having Jeff and one of the sons (Austin) awesomely help me out that trip when my knee decided it wanted to die on me, to blisters that Jeff so graciously mended, to fun talks at the campfires, to racoons ransacking our groups camp), to celebrating Jeff getting his masters, photographing two of the boys senior photos, to them being some of the first to meet our sweet little one, to just the amazing friends Jeff & Tanya, and the boys are to us… this family has a huge place in our family’s heart!!!  So it was my privilege to photograph the 6 of them over Christmas time!!  We met in downtown, Richmond, TX for the session.  They had me laughing the entire time… I don’t know about them, but I sure did have a fun evening!!!!  Tanya & Jeff, thank you sooo sooo soo very much for your friendship, support, love, and prayers…. Thank you also for wanting me to photograph your family, I loved it!!!!!  Here’s a few images from their session!!!

Photography is in my blood and seeking truth is in my soul. Which is a deep way of saying, I’ve loved to take photos for a really long time, y’all. I’d love to share my story with you then listen to yours.

When someone says “we’re really drawn to candid wedding photos,” I know exactly what they mean, but I also know it means something different to every couple. And honestly? That’s part of what I love about it. Because candid doesn’t mean chaotic, and it definitely doesn’t mean careless.  Candid means intentional presence. It means pausing […]

I took a trip to Knoxville, TN to document Sarah & Andy’s engagement session.  They wanted to do their session where they will be getting married in 2026 and it was the best decision ever!  Not only did I get to meet and hang out with Sarah & Andy, but I also was able to […]

Greenville, you’ve been a beautiful backdrop—but lately, I’ve fallen hard for something else: private estate weddings. If you’re dreaming of tying the knot somewhere that’s more your world than a checklist, a family home‑turned‑wedding‑day‑stage is where the real magic happens. Why private estates feel so right Authentic comfort from beginning to end It’s your space. […]
