One of the best part of my job is when Natalie Franke Brides become cherished friends! In the case of Blakely Little, I feel incredibly blessed to have photographed her Charleston Engagement Session last spring, Annapolis Wedding last summer, and now be documenting her rise as an artist in Charleston, South Carolina almost a year later.
Blakely has always had an artistic talent and there is something about this magical southern city that has allowed her God-given gifts to flourish! She launched her shop Blakely Made and has been selling out of paintings just as quickly as she creates them! (Once you see her work, you’ll understand why!) I can’t wait to get one of her gorgeous paintings to hang on my walls soon!
