I have been looking SO forward to photographing Hayley and Zach’s fall wedding at Middleton Place in Charleston! I am technically no longer booking weddings…but when Hayley reached out to me, there was NO way that I was saying “no”! She is a past senior client of mine (and so is her younger sister), and […]
There is nothing I love more than plans perfectly aligning as the last second – and that’s exactly what happened with Reese’s senior portraits! Reese and her mom were visiting downtown Charleston from out of state, and reached out to see if I happened to have last minute availability during their trip. They were only […]
I can’t believe that I am sharing a FAMILY session on the blog right now!!! I had the honor of photographing my sweet friend, Anna and her family on Isle of Hope last week. It was such a joy! If you follow along on Instagram, you may have seen me talking a bit about photographing […]

She reached out saying that they were hoping to travel into town all the way from Mississippi (!!!) if I had any fall availability left. The ONLY date […]
Where do I even begin with how much fun I had with SJ?! She traveled all the way to Charleston, SC from Oklahoma (!!!) to be her for her senior portraits. She brought along her amazing mom and sister – and we just had the BEST time exploring downtown Charleston and Sullivan’s Island together! When […]
If you love color and Lilly Pulitzer…you are going to LOVE Brynn and Cody! 🙂 I had the opportunity to photograph their engagement session in Forsyth Park last week, and it was SO much fun. Brynn is the owner of a local boutique here in Savannah called The Printed Peach – and we connected over […]
Senior portraits in the low-country during hurricane season can create a whole new set of challenges. Mimi and her amazing dad, Scott, had been planning to travel all the way from Alabama to Charleston for her senior portraits last week. I could already tell how amazing they were just through our email communication, so I […]
