Most families default to beaches because that’s what Charleston is known for. Marsh walks and boardwalks don’t get talked about as often but that’s exactly why they’re such a hidden gem for family photos. The marsh walks and boardwalks offer something special. You get gorgeous light. Your kids can actually move around. And the photos […]
A December proposal at The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island, complete with a little stealth, an unexpected cheering squad, and sunset portraits on the beach. Relaxed, joyful, and full of connection.
Family sessions don’t have to be about doing more. Sometimes the most meaningful thing you can do is document life exactly as it is — in the space where it’s happening. This early morning in-home family session in Charleston captured a sweet season with two young boys, photographed naturally at home.
You’re planning your photo session in Charleston and trying to decide between the beach and downtown. Both are beautiful. Both would give you amazing photos. So how do you choose? I’ve photographed couples at both locations. Here’s what I tell everyone who asks: there’s no wrong choice. But there is a choice that feels more […]
Every family has those trips they return to again and again. The same beach at sunrise. The same town where mornings start slow and evenings stretch long.

When I photograph a wedding, my goal is always the same: to tell the full story of your day. The intimate moments, the quiet glances, the joyful chaos, the beauty of your venue, and the energy of the celebration all deserve to be remembered. Ground-level images capture the emotion and connection between people, but to […]
Life doesn’t change all at once. It shifts quietly, year by year, in ways that are easy to miss when you’re living inside it. One season blends into the next, and suddenly you look back and realize how much has changed. That’s why I believe so deeply in annual photo sessions. They aren’t about perfection […]
If you’re planning a surprise proposal, I know you want it to feel real, emotional, and smooth. I hear this all the time from couples who reach out to me. You want that first reaction captured, but you don’t want your partner to notice a camera or feel watched. You want to stay calm, enjoy […]
Over the years, I’ve learned that the most meaningful photo collections don’t happen in a single session. They grow with you.
