Before your beach session, I offer personalized guidance to ensure you feel prepared and confident. From outfit suggestions to maximizing natural light, I help curate the perfect atmosphere. I also provide advice on location logistics for a seamless and enjoyable experience. Together, we'll create stunning memories by the sea.

prepping for your shoot

Come and experience a delightful beach session with me. We'll capitalize on the magic of the golden hour, when the light is most beautiful. We'll have lots of fun while capturing beautiful images against the stunning backdrop of the South Carolina coastline. 



your session day

Once we've captured some beautiful pictures together, my meticulous editing process begins. I carefully refine each image, ensuring they reflect the beauty and authenticity that our clients have come to appreciate. After this creative phase, you'll receive a sneak peek of the gallery, offering a glimpse into the memories we've created. Finally, when the full gallery is ready, I deliver your files with care and attention to detail. 




After the session

After our beach session, your images will be delivered via a private online gallery, allowing easy viewing and downloading from home. You can also order prints and products directly from the gallery, ensuring your memories are beautifully preserved. It's a hassle-free way to enjoy and share your stunning beach session images.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?
That's a fantastic question, and it really makes a difference! The secret to transforming a good photo into an amazing one often lies in the wardrobe and styling choices. We love working closely with our clients to help select outfits that not only look great individually but also harmonize beautifully with the photo location. For family photos, it's especially impactful when everyone's outfits coordinate with each other and the surroundings. For instance, if we’re shooting by the ocean, we might suggest pastels that echo the colors of the sky, water, and sand. (tan, grey, white, pink, blue, aqua)

DO YOU EDIT YOUR PHOTOS?
Yes and as a professional photo editor, I excel in utilizing advanced techniques in programs like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to enhance images with precision and creativity.
 
IS STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY AVAILABLE?
Not at this time. By utilizing outdoor locations, I can capture more dynamic and visually engaging portraits that leverage natural light and diverse environments for a creative touch.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
Because I'm passionate about providing you with the highest quality, professional-grade images, the processing time might vary a bit. Depending on the season, you can expect to receive your photos anywhere from 7 to 21 days after your session. I promise, they'll be worth the wait!

WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT?
We understand that life can be incredibly unpredictable, especially when you’re juggling a busy family schedule! Since we reserve only a limited number of spots each month, we kindly ask that you let us know if you need to reschedule or cancel at least 24 hours before your session. This helps us accommodate everyone's needs better. Thanks for your cooperation!

HOW MANY IMAGES WILL I RECEIVE?
The number of images you’ll receive depends on the type of session you choose. With our starting package, you'll get 15 high-resolution, professionally edited digital images with product choices. We're excited to capture beautiful moments for you!

DO YOU PROVIDE DIGITAL IMAGES
Definitely! After our session, I’ll carefully edit your images and place them in an online album just for you. You’ll be able to effortlessly view, download, and share these customized photos with your family and friends. 

WHAT TIME OF DAY SHOULD WE SCHEDULE THE SHOOT?
We love capturing magical moments during the last two hours of daylight, when the light is beautifully soft and diffused. This lovely time of day enhances skin tones wonderfully, ensuring you look your best in every photo. 

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE LOCATIONS TO SHOOT?
We have a wonderful selection of venues that are perfect for capturing your special moments! For maternity, couples, and family shoots, we primarily enjoy using scenic coastal settings of Pawleys Island, Litchfield Beach and Myrtle Beach. For high school seniors and professional headshots, we’re thrilled to accommodate requests for more urban environments. We can't wait to create fantastic photos in the perfect location for you!
