What an epic ending to a week full of spring senior sessions!!! I have been looking so forward to Ava’s session in downtown Charleston. I could tell Ava, her mom and I were all kindred spirits just from our emails leading up to the session – and MAN, I was right! We could not have […]
Busy spring senior season is upon us and I am LOVING IT!!! Izzy’s senior portraits at Hampton Park and Sullivan’s Island were SO much fun. Izzy’s sweet family lives right down the street from my parents in Charleston, and I’ve now had the pleasure of photographing BOTH their children for their senior pictures. And, I’m […]

It’s that time again!!! As we enter a brand new year, one of my favorite things to do is go back and reflect on the year prior. Each year, one of the ways I do this is by curating my “best of” blog posts…my absolute FAVORITE images that I created in the last 365 days. […]
