Tish Hitesman Photography

Hello! Five years ago, I began photography as just a hobby. As my skills developed, I turned my love of the art into a small business to serve my hometown of Cheraw, South Carolina.

I especially loved taking landscape and architectural photos. Once I began my career as an educator, I had to put photography on the backburner. However, after having my son in 2010, I renewed my love of taking photos. During the first year of my son’s life I realized how much I enjoyed portrait photography. I began to truly see the importance of capturing memories to last a lifetime.

After a couple years of self-teaching and practice with family and friends, I found the proper balance that allowed me teach and have a small photography business. That’s when my passion began to thrive. I often tell my clients that I live vicariously through them. I did not have a professional photographer take my engagement, wedding, maternity, or newborn photos. I depended on family and friends for those pictures, and it was a decision I heavily regret.

Special moments require quality photos, hence, when I take photos for my clients, I try to give my best effort as if it were my own personal photos.

I consider myself a portrait/event photographer. I absolutely love natural lighting. When shooting outdoors, I am willing to get covered in dirt, leaves, and debris in an effort to achieve the perfect angle or shot. Besides taking great photos, one my biggest priorities during a shoot is to make sure my clients feel comfortable.

The task of having to choose one of my favorite wedding photo shoots was not as easy one. However, I decided to spotlight the wedding of Troy and Emalee Spencer. I selected their special day because their photos encompass all that I want my photos to present: emotion, personality, and detail. I believe the photos reflect true love, happiness, and careful attention to creating an atmosphere to match.
