Portrait Offerings and Booking Sessions

Stepping into portraits was an organic evolution as our wedding clients became parents. We lean toward environmental portraits that breathe and play. Clients describe our images as a blend classic causal, natural, life-style and effortless. Locations vary from a number of local beaches, parks, streets of Charleston’s historic downtown and horse pastures. We are spoiled with numerous photographic playgrounds. Laughter is welcome. Hugs are encouraged.
