When my senior clients travel to Charleston, SC from out of town, there’s always an added layer of pressure at their shoot. But, when you pair a client who traveled from Maine with a 115 degree day + impending storm clouds…it gets intense!!! I had been looking forward to Victoria’s senior session for quite awhile. […]
It is RARE that this happens…but it is so exciting when it does! Sophie was vacationing in Charleston from TEXAS last week…and she emailed me just 48 hours before she came to town. She really wanted her senior portraits taken on Rainbow Row to capture all of the Charleston charm in one of her favorite […]
I am so excited to be sharing this styled shoot with you!!! To come back from maternity leave, I knew I wanted to do something BIG…so I put together a senior styled shoot in Charleston with The Pink Figgy! It’s the first time in YEARS that I put a shoot together just for ME. I […]

I captured MC’s first set of senior portraits in Charleston during THIS shoot…and this time she came all the way to Savannah for ANOTHER shoot!! AH!

But, we went for it anyways (and the […]
Kicking off the year of 2024 with a BEAUTIFUL Savannah, GA senior session at Forsyth Park! Himalay was such a trooper for this sunrise shoot, because it was FREEZING cold. We had a few back-to-back weeks with days in the 70’s leading up to this session…then randomly woke up to a morning BELOW 30! We […]
These posts are so special to me every single year. It’s one of my favorite ways to reflect on the last 365 days, and to curate the work that I’m the most PROUD of after an entire year of shooting. Typically, I do one of these posts for my weddings, one for engagement sessions and […]
My LAST senior session of the year!!! WHAT!? 2023…how did this happen?! I truly can’t believe that we’re already in November! But, Ciana’s Charleston senior session was the PERFECT way to end out the year. I called my mom on the way home from this shoot and said “it was the ideal senior session in […]
