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!!!!
