A thoughtfully gallery filled with wall-worthy portraits that are carefully edited so your images arrive complete, polished, and ready to enjoy within two weeks.

All Clients and those who participate in the session will be given a digital Print Release that may be used at any consumer or professional print lab of their choosing.
Portrait Sessions are location specific because each location requires a specific timeframe for scheduling. Below you will find the Investment Guide for Historic Charleston which covers all of the downtown areas and inland locations. Below that you will find the Investment Guide for all of the coastal Beach locations within my service area. Private locations such as Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, Middleton Place, Charlestowne Landing, or any other property with gated hours will have additional entry fees on top of the base investment.
This list of packages encompass all of my most popular offerings for the last 8+ seasons. If you need direction on selected the best package I am happy to listen to your needs and make a suggestion.
Before you book gather the essential information: Who is participating, ages of any children under 18, the emails of anyone who would like to receive the gallery invitation and prep guides as well as the address of where you're staying (if applicable and if you have it). If we've chatted about dates, times, location and you're ready to reserve your session please fill out your booking form below. This will take you directly to a contract form to fill out and a credit card form to reserve your session with just $300. The remaining balance is due the day of your session, which you can pay online or in person. Once your form is submitted you will receive my exclusive Extended Family Prep Guide to give everyone tips on what to wear and how to prepare the family.
Once you've submitted your contract you'll be all set in my schedule be on the lookout in your email over the next few hours for your custom Prep Guide. This guide is filled with lots of information about what to expect, what to wear, and how to best prepare for YOUR session based on the location and time of day. I'll even have recommendations for hair and makeup or wardrobe if needed!
As your session approaches you will be receiving my Final Reminders Prep Guide for things you'll need to know just before your session takes place. Tips I give my clients to look their best and for the best experience. I will also give you all the information you need on where to meet me, parking recommendations if needed, and the time or approximate start time of our session (always weather permitting). I urge my clients not to worry themselves about weather too much. Our weather here in Charleston literally changes by the hour so let ME take care of watching the fronts, wind patterns and hour by hour weather. Remember, we always have a backup plan in place in case of a complete rain out, but that actually rarely happens. It's more likely that we adjust our session time earlier or later based on passing storms instead of rescheduling all together.
Once our time has arrived I want you to really enjoy the whole experience. Leave your cell phones and smart watches away, let your kids laugh and be silly, commit to really experiencing this moment with your family and children because I promise you this is an experience that you both will remember. Be present, be authentic, and enjoy your experience taking in the beauty around you and let me take care of capturing it all.
