Meet Our Contributing Photographers

Emily Bonner (Emily Ann Photography)

Emily is a wife, mother of two, teacher, and photographer. Born in Indiana, Emily moved to South Carolina after college. She and her husband have since settled in to raise a family. Most days you can find her chasing after her 5 year old little boy and growing baby girl with cup of coffee in hand.

After graduating from Purdue University with a degree in Education, Emily went to work teaching young students. After her son was born, she stepped away from the classroom for a bit and picked up her camera. Her true love is photographing families: new arrivals, birthday parties, expanding bellies, and growing families. She finds joy in catching those fleeting moments you can’t get back. You can find more of her work on her website or follow along on Instagram and Facebook. Give her a call; she’d love to chat!
