One of the toughest parts of bridal portraits is having to keep your images hidden until after the wedding day. It was even tougher hiding these images of Angela. As you can see, this girl knows how to WORK IT! We had so much fun venturing around Tryon Palace…searching for the perfect spots. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day. Let me know what you think…
Hey Friends,
I am so overwhelmingly…excitedly…gratefully…ecstatically…joyously…happily…unbelievably announcing that I am FINALLY going into full-time photography at the end of this school year! As some of you know, I am currently a 4th grade teacher here in Greenville, and have been juggling the tremendous weight of a full-time teaching commitment with the chaos of running a full-time, growing, photography business. As you can imagine, it has been extraordinarily difficult, and through MUCH prayer and council from many business owners and friends I have decided to take the leap! I wish that words could pass onto to you the joy that I feel deep within, but there is no possible way to explain how I feel- so, I have decided to share with you a few happy pictures that I have taken since my last post (which was over a month ago…I’m so sorry!). Please know that after June, my posts will become much more frequent, and I hope that you will check in often to see what’s new. Thanks for sharing in this moment, and supporting my business by sharing the word and simply viewing my work. It means the world to me. THANK YOU!
