Greenville Photographer | Emily | Headshots

I know for a fact that I could write a book on how dear and near this lady is… but today I am choosing to keep it short and sweet!!! If you’re interested in hearing about Emily & my friendship be sure to check out this blog I posted a few years back.  I will say though that I am so very grateful and blessed by this woman and her friendship and I love that we live a little over an hour from each other now!!!  Love her soo soo much and I love doing life with her!!!

Emily contacted me back in the summer and asked if I’d be up for doing a headshot session for her and her roommate B.  Well yes, of course I would be up for it!!!  We scheduled the session for the end of September and that was that and I was so excited.  I was excited to do the session/hang out with one of my best friends/meet B (even though it feels like I’ve known her… more on that next week when I blog her headshots!!)… so yes, I was excited to say the least!!!

As the session date approached I kept a lookout on the weather because we had been having some pretty awful weather… I was scheduled to have another session the same weekend and ended up having to reschedule and wasn’t sure if this session was even going to happen.  I asked Emily what she wanted to do… her answer was “I’m coming rain or shine”.  That was that and it meant I better have a few covered locations in my back pocket it if did end up raining.  Sure enough it rained the ENTIRE session!!!! I think it rained for probably 14 days straight actually… but because of the rain I was able to find some pretty amazing covered locations in the Spartanburg area that I can now use either rain or shine and that makes for one really happy photographer!!

Emily was such a trooper and totally didn’t let the rain get to her… I would have freaked out if I was her because she had had her hair & makeup done and me being me would have been like AHHH I can’t believe this is happening… but not Emily!!  That’s the way she is.  She takes it as it comes and she makes the best of it… and I admire that about her soo soo much!!!!

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.

I met up with Sarah & Lee in downtown Spartanburg for their engagement session and it was the dreamiest evening. We walked around downtown talking about all the things from how they met, what they love to do and even a little wedding planning talk. These two are some of the easiest humans to be […]

Let me set the scene: Live oaks dripping with Spanish moss, waterfront backdrops that look like a Nicholas Sparks novel (but with less drama), and architecture that makes you want to whisper just out of respect. South Carolina is not messing around when it comes to wedding venues. Whether you’re planning an all-out wedding weekend […]

Kelsey & Tate were married overlooking Lake Norman at The Peninsula Club. The day was one of those days that you couldn’t beat weather wise. There was a cloud in the sky and it was just right with the temperature. Kelsey got ready with her ladies at her parents house where even her sweet pup […]
