Serving the Lowcountry & beyond

Authentic moments over perfection—because the best memories are the real ones. Whether it's the joy of belly laughs, the sweetness of tiny hands and feet, the beauty of your growing baby bump, or the charm of a missing-tooth grin, I’m here to capture it all. Based in Beaufort, SC, I specialize in natural, relaxed portrait sessions for families in Hilton Head Island and the surrounding Lowcountry. From race cars, dinosaurs, and dirt to princesses, dress-up, and nail polish—I speak fluent 'kid' and make every session fun and stress-free.

The most meaningful moments are the ones in between—the fleeting, unscripted seconds often missed by the eye. I specialize in capturing these authentic connections in natural, timeless portraits across Beaufort, Hilton Head Island, and the Lowcountry.

TIMELESS.
meaningful.
FULL OF LIFE.

After Your Session


No stiff poses here! I’ll gently direct you while keeping the experience natural and full of movement. Expect laughter, candid moments, and a little bit of magic as I capture the in-between moments that tell your story.


During Your Session


Once you book, we’ll chat about location options and outfit ideas to ensure your session feels authentic to you. Need help choosing what to wear? I’m happy to offer guidance on selecting outfits that complement the setting and your personal style.

Your portrait session should feel effortless, fun, and true to you. Whether we’re chasing golden light on the beaches of Hilton Head Island or capturing sweet moments in the heart of Beaufort, my goal is to create a relaxed environment where you can be yourself. Here’s how the process works:
