the difference between our products

Check out the following images from the jeffords wedding and creative sessions. I'm always trying to communicate more clearly about the differences in our products and I think the easiest way is to show you, rather that trying to explain. When it comes to art, visual aides rock!

The first two images below, are creative session images. Notice the "higher fashion feel", and moody lighting that each of these images have.

Think of the difference between our creative session and wedding day session like this:
The creative session is more along the lines of a cover shoot, whereas the wedding day, is like trying to catch a subway train that's already leaving without you!

The outside images in this post are from the wedding day. They are still taken creatively and have that a great flare about them, but I think you'll see they're not the same look and feel our creative session product.

I've sandwhiched the wedding photos between the creative session photos, to help you see these differences is greater contrast. Just to clarify, you can find the creative session samples at both the beginning and end of this post.

When you dream of booking with us!
If you're interested in our services, study the differences in the photos below to see the unique differences between our products.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We'd be happy to help and clarify anything we can. You can email us at photos@getzcreative.com. or call at 864-354-2548

summertime

Summer love in the south is.... well, hot! And yes, you can take all aspects of that meaning and it's sure to apply. Tim and Carrie are no exception. Fortunatley for us, they love it hot and also love to have fun in the sun— after all, it is bikini season. :) We took them to a wonderful place full of summer fauna and waterworks! Here's just a sample of the connection we captured between them and the romance that lives in the south.

thoughts on creativity...

Creativity is a beautiful part of the human experience. It's a gift I never want to take for granted and yet sometimes I do. Isn't it normal for us to give little thought to the subtle changes in the sky; the shapes and their swooshes, the color shifts occurring from morning to mid-day, to yet another twilight? I use the sky as reference b/c it's something so large and seemingly so "close to us", such as the talents each of us possess. And yet we can easily give them no thought as the rest of day is filled with seemingly "more important matters".

If nothing else, try and remember that this "pull for our thoughts", away from the wonder right in front of us.

I believe the pull is good. It's the contrast we need to give both sides of our life more clarity; allowing us to see where edges blur and graduate into something different. If I am to be perfectly honest, I often find myself wishing that life were one sided. I am attracted to life in a certain way, and have a vision to how that should look. But if I really got what I thought I wanted, I think it would be a disservice to my growth and enjoyment of life. How can we enjoy the stars without darkness, and how can feel the warmth of the sun without the light? This pull, this contrast helps us as humans. I urge you to embrace it; take the good with the bad, so that you may be able to enjoy the good in an even deeper fashion.
