Caroline’s sunrise senior session in Charleston was SUCH a fun one!!! We started early downtown at The Mills House Hotel (we are talking a 5am wake up call), then ended the morning at Hampton Park…and everything about this shoot felt SO gorgeous! I loved the unique colors and patterns in Caroline’s outfits, and she is […]
Mia’s senior session in Charleston was such a sweet one!!! She is local to the area, and I actually photographed her older brother Chad’s senior portraits years ago…so getting to work with their family again for another milestone felt so special. I always love when families come back for a second senior session, and it […]
Kendall and Carson’s senior session day was SUCH a fun one because it was a double senior session: two seniors, two individual galleries and tons of photos of them together!!! These girls are close friends, traveled in from out of state and are both Senior Elite cheerleaders…so basically famous (!!!) They even brought their world […]

Sophie’s senior session in Charleston was such a sweet one!!! She traveled all the way from Pittsburgh for her portraits and brought along her sweet family, which made the whole evening feel even more special. I always love when families travel in for senior sessions because it becomes more than just a photoshoot…it becomes a […]
Aubrey’s senior session in downtown Charleston was full of so much color, personality and the prettiest flowers!!! She traveled all the way from Mississippi for her portraits, which is always such an honor. I never take it lightly when families make a big trip to Charleston to work with me…and I was so excited to […]
Addison’s senior session was the perfect mix of all my favorite Charleston things: downtown charm, flowers in bloom and the beach at sunset!!! We squeezed three locations into her shoot: downtown Charleston, Hampton Park and the beach, which gave her gallery so much variety from start to finish. These are always some of my favorite […]
Maisy Grace and her family flew all the way from Iowa for her senior session…talk about HONORED!!! I will never get over how special it is when families travel such a long distance to work with me, and this one felt extra sweet because her entire family came along to explore Charleston. We were also […]
