Welcome To The Studio
a greenville local business

We're So Glad You Are here!

Hi!  We’re Esther and Michael Gambrell.  Even if you never do any business with us, we’re genuinely thankful you stepped inside our website.

Things you might find interesting about us:

We love Jesus, Family, People, Photography, and Lego – in that order. ☻

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary in September.  We got married in 2011, and if you’re like most, you’re doing the math in your head right now to see if we keep our website up to date.  Yes, we do. ☻  We value the time you’re taking to get to know us, so we think it important to keep things relevant.

We don’t view ourselves as a Business to Business (B2B) or a Business to Consumer (B2C) type service.  We see ourselves as Human to Human.  We believe in building relationships with people whether they choose to use our services or not.

Michael loves photographing places, and Esther does the portraits, but we tag team on everything.  He’s the engineer; she’s the creative.

We’re both Greenville natives and grew up less than two miles apart, on opposites sides of the railroad tracks.

When you call our office, if you press 0, you’ll get routed directly through… even afterhours.  If you’ve read all this so far, we think you deserve that little extra inside information.  ☻ 

Thanks for stopping by.  Feel free to reach out with your questions.

Shine on!

~ Esther & Michael
