Emily found her love for photography early in high school and hasn’t put her camera down since. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from the Savannah College of Art & Design in Savannah, Georgia. While in college she was trained in classical fine art photography techniques and ended up focusing on digital imaging, an emerging field at the time. After working for a popular photography studio on Hilton Head Island, Emily decided that she wanted to focus on her own clients and provide a more personalized level of customer service. She loves staying current with new trends in technology and imaging and loves working in photography with her best friend and husband, Steve Pogozelski. (She recently became the official “Mrs Pogo” on 8.14.10, and is still thrilled!)
Steve found photography through Emily. After growing up in Jupiter, Florida, he earned his Bachelor of Science in both Accounting and Finance from Florida Atlantic University. After seeing Emily’s love for the art of photography he decided to work with her on the business side of things. Out of curiosity (and because he’s always been competitive) he picked up a camera to see how it worked. Something clicked and he’s been shooting with Emily ever since.
Having one photographer with an artistic and professionally trained eye paired with a second photographer possessing a mathematical and analytical mind fuses left and right brain visions. The result is a wide variety of images, ranging from the emotional to the architectural. Our easy communication and long-time friendship creates a very natural working relationship, enabling us to work smoothly and efficiently together.
Pogo Photo is founded on the concept that our clients deserve the highest level of customer service that we can provide. It is our passion to create beautiful fine art photographs that document you and your family throughout the significant events of life, and to provide beautiful prints, albums and wall art of the highest quality that you can pass down to your descendants.
