Imagine strolling along the charming streets of Charleston, the warm breeze carrying the scent of magnolias—wouldn’t it be the perfect moment to freeze it in time? That’s where a full-coverage vacation photography session comes in, capturing not just a single snapshot but the entire story of your family’s adventure.
Vacation photography isn’t about one perfect shot for your holiday card (though we’ll definitely snag that too). It’s about documenting the laughter, the quiet moments, and even the occasional “oops” that make your family uniquely you. From building sandcastles on Folly Beach to exploring the historic Battery, every picture tells a part of your vacation story.
Before we even pick up a camera, we’ll have a chat about your vacation plans. This is the foundation of your photography experience. We’ll discuss:
Your family’s personality: Are you adventurers or more laid-back? Do your kids love to run wild or prefer quiet activities?
Your vacation itinerary: Where are the spots you’re most excited about? Any hidden gems you’ve discovered?
Your vision: What kinds of moments are you hoping to record? Candid moments, posed portraits, or a mix of both?
This conversation helps us craft a photography plan that fits seamlessly into your vacation, ensuring we document the true essence of your family’s time in Charleston.
One of the biggest stressors for family photos is figuring out what to wear. But don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. After our initial chat, you’ll receive:

When the session day arrives, here’s what you can look forward to:
A relaxed atmosphere: We’ll meet at a set location, ready for an hour of fun and photos.
Gentle guidance: I’ll offer prompts and suggestions to capture natural interactions, not stiff poses.
Flexibility: If little ones need a snack break or dad spots a great photo op, we’ll go with the flow.
A mix of shots: We’ll capture those frame-worthy family portraits, but also the candid moments that truly tell your story.
While Charleston’s beaches are stunning, don’t forget about the city’s other photogenic spots. We might catch your family:
