Everyone has a story.
Born Emily Stuart Waugh in Charleston, SC. The name Earl came from my years as an ornamental ironworker in downtown, Charleston. As a woman in primarily male dominated fields, I found a way to own my path early on.
Years of welding, outside sales, make - up and marketing have molded me to be the photographer that I am; I use bits of those trades in every photoshoot.
Everyone has a story and I feel honored to capture yours. My grandfather taught me to leave things better than when I found them and I make that my personal goal for every photoshoot. There's never a dad joke that's off limits or a couple that leaves the session without feeling more in love than before the photoshoot.
TESTIMONIALS
What I loved most about working with Emily was how devoted and focused she was on making sure we were satisfied and enjoyed our session with her. Between the dirt, 95 degree blazing hot sun, grasshoppers and weeds she still managed to crack jokes which in turn made the moment she captured so real and so us. There's no awkward moments, no awkward poses. Just the real raw true self. she doesn't make you be someone you aren't. She takes so much time to learn her clients and research their love and interest. Ive had so many compliments on our photos. No one else I'll use from here on out. Probably because she helped my boyfriend enjoy to have our pictures done. Which having a man to enjoy that is a task in itself.

Working with Emily was so fantastic! She was able to see areas that would make a great picture that I would have never thought of! She was so kind throughout our whole experience and willing to try whatever we wanted! We will definitely be booking more sessions with her !

What I loved most about working with Emily was how personal she is. It's much easier to get nice family pictures when the photographer knows how to work with families and larger groups by making everyone feel noticed and understood. That's how she captures the true spirit of everyone she photographs she takes the chance to get to know them.
