Regardless of the season that you're in, and whether your babies are small, graduating, or furry, this time in your life deserves to be captured by something other than your phone. Maternity and family sessions were born from past wedding couples asking us to document their growing families, we just can't get enough!
So let's plan a day, choose a location that is meaningful to you, and bring your session to life that will leave you with a gallery of images that will fill your walls for years to come. We are proud to be trusted to create your family heirlooms.

THE DETAILS
Spring is always a favorite season when everything starts to bloom, window boxes come to life, and the sweet fragrance of the magnolia trees fill the air. Autumn in the low country is iconic, with the falling leaves, changing colors, and warm breeze. Winter light is magical! The crispness in the air calls for layers, snuggling, and oyster roasts. There is no other place in the world like the Low Country of Charleston!

Even though the temperatures were only in the 30’s, we had the best time with Laura and Rachel! They made the entire process so easy and enjoyable, made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and gave amazing direction. We received our photos, and they are amazing!

FAQ
Rescheduling is the easiest option, but it stinks. If your sessions must have blue skies, then we’ll need to pick a new date and we typically make the call to reschedule the morning of or within a few hours of the session. If there’s lightning, high winds, hail, or similar unsafe conditions, we will need to reschedule without question. Sometimes though, if its just overcast skies with only a chance, its fun to grab a clear umbrella and have fun with it!
What do we do if it rains?
questions —
The sooner the better! Our weekends tend to fill up pretty quickly - especially during the spring and fall with weddings, so the sooner you reach out to us, the more likely you are to get your desired date! To reserve your date, we'll need a contract as well as a retainer. And if something comes up and you need to change your date, just let us know!
How far in advance should we book?
questions —
If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to your high school days when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck. We put together an extensive outfit suggestion guide.
What should we wear?
questions —
Unless you've modeled professionally, you're probably going to feel awkward in front of the camera. Heck, we take photos for a living and we even feel like a deer in the headlights when we're in front of the camera. You're going to feel awkward at first, but as the session goes on and we direct you though poses, we think you'll find that being photographed can actually be fun. And don't worry about your kids. We're well versed in capturing even the busiest of little ones.
We're awkward and our kids don't sit still.
questions —
Within a few weeks of your session, you'll receive a link to a digital gallery that will allow you to download high resolution images.
The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints, canvases and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors.
