A little of both. I’ll give gentle direction to help you feel natural, then step back to capture those real, unscripted moments in between.

Can I have the raw photos?

I don’t deliver raw files because I believe every image should reflect the love, light, and intention I put into it. Each photo is thoughtfully edited to capture your story in its most magical form, ready to cherish, share, and display.

Your images will be delivered through a beautiful online gallery, fully edited and ready to view. Watermarked previews allow you to select the photos included in your package. If you fall in love with extra images or wish to purchase the entire gallery, that option is available for an additional fee — giving you full freedom to keep every magical moment.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Charleston weather can change in a heartbeat — rain, sun, clouds, all in one day. I monitor the forecast closely and if conditions aren’t ideal, we’ll find a better day or tweak the plan so your session shines in the most beautiful, authentic light possible.

I love when your photos carry personal meaning. Bring anything that tells your story. Heirlooms, favorite books, or little treasures — and we’ll weave them seamlessly into your session.
