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 […]
This is a FIRST for me…and that doesn’t happen much after 12 years of photographing senior portraits!!! I got the chance to photograph the gorgeous Whitlie and Weslen for their TWIN senior sessions last week! They traveled to Charleston for what I call a “double session day” – it’s like a super senior session. Any […]

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! 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 […]
