SURPRISE 🩵
After months of planning, packing, and keeping a pretty big secret, I'm excited to finally share that I'm moving to Charlotte, North Carolina next week.
This move marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in both my personal and professional life. Recently, I accepted a new position with a law firm in Charlotte, and between that opportunity and everything else life has brought my way lately, it felt like the right time to take a leap and start fresh in a new city.
Gainesville has been home for so long, and it's where Brygider & Co. was built from the ground up. Every client, session, referral, and word of encouragement has played a role in getting me here, and I'll never take that support for granted.
As for Brygider & Co., she's coming with me. Charlotte will officially become my new home base, but photography remains such an important part of my life, and I'm incredibly excited to continue growing the business in a new city while serving both new and returning clients.
For my Georgia and WNC clients, I'm not going far. I'll still be returning regularly for sessions, with my no-travel-fee radius remaining within 20 miles of Gainesville and for WCU graduate sessions. Charlotte will become my new home base, and I'll continue serving the Charlotte metro area, including Fort Mill, Rock Hill, and Indian Land, while remaining available for travel.
To everyone who has trusted me with your memories, supported my business, referred your friends, or simply followed along on this journey—thank you. Your support has made opportunities like this possible, and I am endlessly grateful.
