Is there anything more valuable than beautifully and artfully preserving our family's history with extraordinary  professional portraits? Personally, I don't think so. Our families are spread out around the country and coming together doesn't happen often. Life is incredibly busy between providing for our families and the chaos of raising children, Having gorgeous professional portraits to preserve these precious moments in time, doesn't just happen. It takes an awareness that life is incredibly short, kids grow up, elders pass on and memories fade and creating these kinds of heirlooms for our children means not only valuing remarkable professional photography but also prioritizing it.

During your pre-session phone consultation, I will talk with you about the types of locations that interest you & help you to select a photo location that will be perfect for your family!

Frequently asked questions

Where & When do we shoot?

The softest, most flattering light of the day happens in the 90 minutes after sunrise or in the 90 minutes before sunset. With that being said, we can shoot at any time of day, as long as you understand that the sunlight (looks) different at 1pm than it does at 6pm. If you want to shoot in the middle of the day, we’ll just need to get a little creative with locations, vantage point and posing! Downtown Charleston is a fantastic option for shooting in the middle of the day!

Frequently asked questions

What time of day do we shoot?

I am frequently asked to photograph Extended Families vacationing in in Charleston and on our nearby beaches! I am happy to travel to your vacation rental or I can show you some of the most beautiful vistas that the lowcountry has to offer for your Family Portraits! There is an additional $25 per person creative fee assessed for groups larger than six
(a standard family size).
