Coastal Kids Dental & Braces is a specialized pediatric dental and orthodontic practice based in the Charleston. Founded in 2009, the practice focuses on providing comprehensive oral healthcare for infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special needs of all ages. The practice is designed to offer a fun, comfortable, and family-friendly environment to alleviate dental anxiety in young patients.

I had the pleasure of photographing headshots and team photos of the founders, Jacob and Dr. Isabel Driggers, as well as their ORIGINAL team of professionals waaaay back when they opened their first office. Dr. Driggers earned her pediatric dentistry training from the University of Louisville (2007–2009) and previously worked as an associate dentist in Georgia before launching Coastal Kids. In 2011, she was selected as the South Carolina delegate for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) Congressional Lobby Day.

Fast forward to today, and I had the honor of photographing their 11th office, which just opened on James Island! Talk about an amazing success story, right?!? I was photographing the new office for Harbor Contracting, who did the full uplift and refit of an old Carolina One building for them. Many thanks to Jenny at Gritty Gal Marketing for coordinating all the details for this fantastic shoot!
