Since 2016, I have operated as a licensed and insured professional photographer in Charleston, SC, dedicated to capturing authentic family moments, maternity milestones, and senior portraits. My approach blends classic posed photography with candid lifestyle documentation to preserve both structured and spontaneous memories. Serving Charleston and surrounding areas including Isle of Palms, Kiawah Island, and Folly Beach, I prioritize creating relaxed sessions where clients feel comfortable expressing their true personalities.
