About Angela:

After over a decade spent working as a wedding photographer, weekends full of destination shoots, thousands of hours spent building her photography business and earning features in BRIDES, Style Me Pretty, Junebug Weddings, Magnolia Rouge, and more, Angela chose to walk away from photography. Being a young mom to two boys, while building a business — burnt out, exhausted and running on a cocktail of adrenaline, stress, and anxiety left her looking for a calmer lifestyle.

After a year sabbatical, Angela organically started helping other photographers and creatives with their social media. With deep understanding of the industry, Angela realized the huge need for easy content creation and Instagram marketing. Out of sheer need, her new company (@socialtemplates.co) was born. A community of creatives, where members have access to high-quality, done-for-you social media resources, saving them time and taking the stress out of content creation.

Molly Rose is an Interior and Architectural Photographer based in Charleston, South Carolina photographing homes and hospitality concepts throughout the South East & West Coast regions. Her work contributes to legacy-building portfolios for designers and architects. She has been featured in Dwell, House Beautiful, Luxe, Ocean Home, and various online publications. Molly also offers mentoring and online resources to other photographers. We caught up to get her unique insights into the world of interior and architectural photography and the challenge of operating her business on two coasts.



About Molly:

I turn three-dimensional spaces into two-dimensional visual escapes. You may have seen my work in Dwell, House Beautiful, Luxe, Ocean Home, or various online publications. How we get there? That's your magic, baby.I believe that the work my designers and architects put into designing homes should earn them marriage therapy certificates. Interior design and architecture are vocations of empathy and generosity: no one else considers how much neck support a new mother will need in her armchair during a midnight feeding; no one else thinks about having dimmable lights over the kitchen nook that are bright enough for homework and low enough for a romantic dinner while the kids are out doing who-knows-what. That's what I photograph. Those micro-decisions, those intimate details of living that make your work so special to you...and to your clients.I live in Charleston, South Carolina with my husband Zach, our Boykin Spaniels Bravo and Bonnie Belle, and our cat Nuke. Though Charleston is home, I split my time between Orange County, California and South Carolina.
