Let's face it, not all people that have a business are as good at customer service as they are at being creative.
I am.
If you've ever been frustrated at long hold times, un-returned phone calls or waiting days on end for simple answers to your questions - I feel that frustration too!  I am reachable and always respond to inquiries and concerns within a 12 hour window (usually way less) before AND after your sessions.

I have step by step directions and how-to videos on how to download and order prints of your images for those that need a visual, and happy to give any design advice for hanging portraits in your home. All around, I have been a people person my whole life and truly enjoy working with all families of all walks of life. 

Have you ever had a really stiff portrait experience with a photographer that had no personality?  Sorry to hear that, let's never have that happen again. I'm here to put you at ease, make you laugh, make you comfortable and direct you every step of the way if you need it. I am easy going, laid back, and get the job done efficiently. I like to get to know my clients, make jokes, and make kids of all ages laugh. I have experience working with children (and dad's) of all ages and temperaments and crack even the hardest cookies.

At the end of almost every session I've had at least one person tell me how easy it was and how much they enjoyed their experience. Your portrait session shouldn't be stiff, boring or stressful!

Say good-bye to the inexperienced photographers scrambling for poses and smiles. Not only did I receive my BFA in Photography, I have almost 15 years of experience photographing children and families of all ages and have continued my education by attending workshops and online classes to further my skills.

When you hire me you are investing in the time and talent of me as an artist and professional who also has a great connection with kids (and adults) to make them laugh, smile, and pose with ease.

This is my full time career and 100% of my livelihood, not just a hobby. I have years of experience working in the field - from commercial, studio, weddings, and now running my own business focusing just on Family, Seniors, Maternity and Newborn. With way too much money invested in my equipment, props, software and a ton more invested in my education you know that I am here to stay to provide you and your family with lasting beautiful imagery year after year. I love to watch your family grow and reward my loyal clients every year. 

Have you ever waited so long for your photographer to deliver your gallery that your excitement just wore off? I hope not, but know that won't happen here. I strive to provide my clients with their edited image galleries before they can get all the sand out of their shoes and well before that sunburn fades! All galleries are delivered within 2 weeks (or less!) of the session completion. 

I am a passionate entrepreneur, a planner, a problem solver, and a licensed and insured small business. I [reluctantly] pay lots of taxes on my earnings like everyone else, and I renew my business licenses and liability insurance year after year. So while I'm not the cheapest or the most expensive photographer here in Charleston, I operate my business based on what it costs me to run it profitably and support myself.
