Spartanburg Photographer | Tanya

I am mixing things up a bit and taking a break from posting fun families and posting this beautiful lady today!!  I can’t pin point the exact moment when I met Tanya, but it was a while back and I am ohh so thankful that God placed her and her family in my life!!  Tanya is such a sweet sweet woman of God & it has been such a joy to get to know her over the years.  She was always a face I sought out on Sunday mornings at church and boy have I missed seeing her and keeping up with her & her crazy bunch of men that she calls hers!!!  Tanya is mom to four boys (well they will kill me for calling them boys 🙂 but when you’re a fellow mom you can do that sort of thing) and the three youngest (especially the two youngest… whom I got to know when I helped with the youth group at our church in Texas they both were in high school at the time so I was able to get to know the two of them) have been so much fun to get to know over the years (the oldest was already out of the house when I met them)!!  I have photographed two of Tanya & Jeff’s sons senior photos and last December had the privilege of photographing them as an entire family, I have loved getting to know and become friends with this family & having this family in front of my camera over the years!!  Tanya contacted me back in August when I was in town to photograph a wedding and asked me to go ahead and get just her on my calendar in December and I was sooo soo excited… Y’all having just Tanya in front of my camera was a treat!!!  I loved getting to spend time with her (even if it was for a super short amount of time) and seeing her laugh and just be her!!  Tanya, you are a beautiful woman inside & out and I am soo very honored to call you a friend.  Thank you for wanting me to take photos of you, I LOVED it!!!!

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.

Rachel & Ben were married on an incredible fall weekend in the upstate of South Carolina.  The weekend started out with family and friends celebrating these two at the Greenville Country Club for the rehearsal dinner.  The included hugs, the most beautiful toasts, and Ben grabbing his guitar and playing/singing for guests.  That evening set […]

For the last few years I’ve photographed Ballet Spartanburg’s performances of the Nutcracker.  It is an honor to capture these incredible students and professional dancers that share the stage for this family favorite in the heart of Spartanburg, SC.  Most years I capture the dress rehearsals, this past year due to a wedding in Charleston […]

03

After 18 years and hundreds & hundreds of weddings, I’ve had a front-row seat to some of the most thoughtful, personal, and beautifully designed wedding days across the Southeast. And when couples ask me what I remember most about a wedding, the answer is almost always the details. I think about the invitation suite printed […]
