love….

My maternity session style is pretty simple….much like I used to photograph weddings, it’s important to me to get shots that evoke feeling, not just expression. This image has quickly become my current favorite. Pregnancy is so beautiful and the start of a family is something I love to document! Yes, I dragged a pregnant mama and her hubby out to a field but it didn’t appear to bother them! These guys will be absolutely fantastic parents, and yes, I can tell that already! I’m a professional, people!

Dan and Amy

I had the pleasure of photographing my husband’s cousin’s wedding on August 7th. We enjoyed a beautiful day with a nice break from the humidity and a flawless, smooth wedding and reception. These two are so in love and watching them start the first chapter in the rest of their lives is just so awesome! Enjoy a little sneak peak. I’ll get you the rest really really soon!

Movies in the Park

Griffith Photography — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:48:45 +0000

Check out what we’ve got going on this summer. Griffith Photography partnered with Roy LaMarte at AAA Insurance to bring back the DDA’s Movies in the Park. We project a movie at dusk on the wall in Lafayette Park in downtown Greenville but we’re adding some festivities to the line-up as well. From 6-8pm Threshold Academy will put on arts and crafts for the little ones. We’ll be closing Cass Street at the corner of Lafayette for the kids to play! Then while we set up for the movie we’ll have some local musicians performing in the park. Movie starts around 9:45 with the first one being Where the Wild Things Are. Check out our facebook fan page! As an added bonus I’m also organizing the event alongside Deann Oliver of Huch’s Fine Jewelry. What a whirl it’s been trying to run the studio and put on a free event but we’re working it out! Please check it out! Starts this thursday and runs for 4 weeks!

Welcome Back

Griffith Photography — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 19:23:54 +0000

Welcome back Schroeder Family….and welcome to the world little brother! This beautiful family of 5 was just a family of 4 the last time I got to photograph them! So glad to meet little “B” and I really enjoyed seeing how big his big brother and big sister have gotten. These kids just grow up before your camera. Next thing I know Serena will be getting her senior portraits taken! Okay, I need to back off, the parents are going to read this and wonder why I’m talking graduation already I love this shot….Serena’s one little eye ball says it all doesn’t it! I was so tickled to get the call to photograph you guys again, see you soon for your sales appointment!

WIND HAIR

Griffith Photography — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 19:26:50 +0000

Did I drag my wind machine out to Lake Michigan? Or did I bring lake michigan into the studio? Hmmm….no and no. Miss Emily just so happens to have hair from the GODS. It’s always so flowy and perfect and windable. The woman has perfect wind hair. When the wind blows around my head it looks like a tropical storm or a swarm of something flying around my head. I assure you it never looks like this So, cheers to wind hair…may we all be so lucky to walk down the street and have this happen, if only once!!!

Perfect Beach Day!

Griffith Photography — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 13:45:38 +0000

Let’s just say that family portraits with these guys was a breeze….not only beautiful and happy people in general, but easy going and easy to work with too! It’s a win win! We piggy backed this family session on with Megan’s senior pictures which is such a great idea for those of you who know you want family pictures but also know how hard it is to schedule them! Do them together! Yes, the bill will hurt because you’re doing two major ordering appointments in one, but we all know it’s worth it. (and why we offer payment plans, right !!!) Heather, it was a pleasure photographing your wonderful family and you’ll regret giving me a tour of your new house because I’m alllll ready to get these images up on your walls! Can’t wait to show you the rest! ~emily

“Hi, remember me?”

Griffith Photography — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 19:06:05 +0000

Oh June….oh June! You’re here! I remember you! Our business is comprised of about 70 Senior Sessions per year, 30-50 babies and kids sessions per year, and 10-20 Family Portrait Sessions, and then tons of business head shots from our favorite local bankers and realtors and other professionals! Some of this business is year round, but sessions like Family Portraits and Seniors are very seasonal and pretty much only happen from June-December. And alas….June is here! We spend our quiet winters and mucky springs photographing our Baby Plan members as usual and the rest of the time we use to gear up for our Seniors! It’s exciting and stressful. If only I could stretch the season out a bit…but I really can’t. June marks school being out for the summer and thus a little lightbulb goes off in the minds of those great parents…”oh…senior pictures?!?!?” And then December rolls around and it’s “oh crap…yearbook…” So that’s my season…and in June it’s as if I can look off the front stoop of the studio and my seniors for the year are all marching together down Cass Street like the Danish Festival Parade in one big mass…they are all coming at once and the pressure is on. I do love to photograph these guys! A milestone in their lives, a proud age, a great time to commemorate their achievements. This is my job. I do love it. You may notice my low numbers….70 seniors…that’s it! That’s ALLLL we have time and energy for. It’s important to me (even at the disapproval of THE BOSS…(insert husband’s name here) to have each and every senior represented as the individual he/she is. No assembly line here, folks. And we hope you’ll notice that! We’re a small studio and have no desire to expand to bigger numbers….because that would just mean I’d lose my touch with the customers I proudly serve. If you are interested in one of our sessions please call the studio today and I’ll PERSONALLY give you the info you need to make a decision!

Our Evelyn: 15 months!

Griffith Photography — Wed, 26 May 2010 14:42:12 +0000

Okay, she’s nearly 16 months old, but I just got around to photographing her for her 15 month session so that’s what I’m going by! Evie is a joy, a pill, a comedian, a beauty, a maniac, a great sleeper ( i know, right!), and a garbage disposal. We love her so unbelievably much and it’s so neat to watch her explore and learn and take the world in. Being parents ROCKS. She started part-time daycare a couple of weeks ago so I could nab some more help from Allan around the studio in our busy season. She’s adjusting slowly to say the least. She’s not sure about other humans…(she gets that from her father…) she’d rather observe the other kids and play by herself. But we love the daycare center she’s going to so we’re hoping she’ll blossom out of her little shell soon! It’s funny to watch people’s faces when we tell them she’s just shy and that when she’s at home she’s in total seek and destroy mode. ”really? this one? riiiigggghhhttt…..” I assure you, her crazy is completely in tact. But when other’s are around she’s a shy guy which is fine with me too because that’s when I get the most hugs

Lakeview GP Model

Griffith Photography — Tue, 25 May 2010 18:21:27 +0000

Meet Trenton….he’s our lone Lakeview High School GP Model…what a stud! I thoroughly enjoyed photographing him at the beach and in the little town of Mears! Gotta love it. Trent is a natural as you can see….he’ll be handing out model cards next week so if you know him, get one and get in to GP!
