THE SHR EXPERIENCE

Beautiful photographs begin

with feeling like yourself.

 

My Approach


Your story deserves to be documented with intention and ease — nothing forced, nothing that feels unlike you.

I’ll guide you enough to help you feel comfortable,

then give you room to simply be together.


I’m drawn to connection: the soft glances, warm laughter,

and fleeting in-between moments you may not even

realize are happening.

With gentle direction and an eye for the little things,

we’ll create photographs that don't just look beautiful —

they feel like you.

 

You don’t need to know how to pose.

You just need to show up as yourself.

01. Tell me everything.

Once you reach out, we'll talk about what you're dreaming up — the people, the feeling, the location, and everything that matters to you.

From there, I'll help bring the pieces together.

02. We'll make a plan.

From location and timing to outfits and all those little questions that inevitably pop up,  you won't be left figuring everything out on your own.

03. Come as you are.

This is the fun part. I’ll give you direction when you need it, keep things relaxed along the way, and leave plenty of room for the moments that happen naturally.

04. Relive it all.

FAQ

What if I’m awkward in front of the camera?

Most of the people you see throughout my website told me the exact same thing. You don't need any experience in front of a camera — that's my job.

I'll give you direction when you need it, keep things moving when something feels stiff, and create space for the moments that happen naturally.

 

Can you help us choose a location?

 

Absolutely. Location is a big part of how your photos feel, and I’ll help you find one that fits the vision we’re creating — whether that means golden light by the water, somewhere tucked into downtown Charleston, or a space that feels completely different.

 

Do you travel?

 

Absolutely. While I’m based in Charleston, I’m always open to going somewhere new. Depending on the location, additional travel fees may apply — and we’ll talk through all of that before anything is booked.

What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?

Charleston likes to keep us on our toes. 😂

I’ll keep an eye on the forecast as your session gets closer, and if the weather truly isn’t going to cooperate, we’ll talk through our options and make the best call together.
