Sophia’s ballet-filled senior session in Savannah was an absolute DREAM to capture from start to finish. And I can’t believe it’s my second to last senior session of 2024! How in the WORLD did it go by so fast?! Sophia’s mom reached out to me with dreams of photographing ballet photos of Sophia on pointe […]
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 […]
Lauren’s senior portraits in Savannah, GA almost didn’t happen. Believe it or not, her mom inquired with me less than 2 weeks before this session took place!

Goodness, Hannah’s senior portraits at Hotel Bardo were truly amazing from start to finish! She traveled all the way to Savannah, GA from West Virginia for her session. What an HONOR!
