I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the Muro Family over the last decade or so. They truly are the nicest and kindest people on the planet! I was together with them when they celebrated their 40th Anniversary. So it was super cool to join them for another fun family reunion in celebration of their 50th this week!!!
It was such a pleasure photographing the Glenn Family at The Sanctuary on Kiawah Island last evening. We had beautiful weather and came away with some wonderful images to commemorate their time together!!!
What a beautiful evening for family portraits on Isle of Palms!!!
I had so much fun meeting and photographing the Kent family at their beach house on IOP last evening! Although they were a little worried about how windy it was, there was no cause for concern. The deck behind their house was sheltered from the wind. So I took advantage of the soft open shade and photographed some “safety shots” there before we headed to the beach. That way all the ladies had a few shots with perfect hair before the wind did its thing. 🙂
I also grabbed a cool drone shot of them on their boardwalk. Then we hit the beach! We had beautiful warm “golden hour” light, a nice high tide, and interesting clouds in the sky for a gorgeous backdrop. Since the wind was blowing in a westerly direction, I faced them into the wind, letting the sun become a “rim” light, and used my off-camera speedlights as the main light. We laughed and joked and came away with a nice variety of great shots to commemorate their time together!
With their kids spread out from New York to Nashville, Al and Kay have made a fun family tradition of getting everyone together each summer to reconnect with one another. I love that!!!
It’s almost time for summer vacation! That means it’s almost “beach portrait season”. I always look forward to this time of year when I get to wear flip-flops and shorts, meeting fun families enjoying their beach vacation together, and capturing beautiful portraits of them to celebrate their time together.
Kicking off this season, I met up with the Durham family on Edisto Island. They had rented a beach house to celebrate their daughter’s 40th birthday, and to kick off their summer vacation. I met up with them at beach access #29. It was a beautiful evening and we had a blast capturing a variety of fun portraits!

I’ve been photographing Gracie’s family for over a decade. Every year they vacation down here on Seabrook Island, during which we pick a fun spot around town to meet up for a fun photo session. I just photographed their family earilier this summer. But this weekend, I had the distinct pleasure of photographing an entire session just for Gracie!
It’s been such a joy documenting Gracie’s life from when I first met her as a shy little girl! Watching her grow into this beautiful, confident, inteligent and independant young lady makes me so honored that her family welcomed me into their lives and allowed me to preserve all her life-stages along the way.
I know Grace’s parents are so proud of her! And I am SUPER EXCITED for what the future holds for her. Keep an eye out for this young lady…great things lie ahead. And please help me congratulate her on achieving this fantastic milestone!!!
It’s hard to believe how time flies!!!
I feel like it was just yesterday that I was photographing the Cyrus family for the first time. Back then, Mason was only a year old! Fast forward to this year’s 5th annual family beach session with this amazing family…where Emma has joined the family, and the kids are growing like crazy!!! 🙂
I had so much fun catching up with everyone at The Ocean Course. It’s become a family tradition. And I can’t wait to carry our annual get-together onto next year…
What a lovely evening for a beautiful beach session with the Vida Family!!! I had so much fun playing with Andrew & Diana’s adorable kids, and capturing these family memories for them at The Sanctuary on Kiawah Island. This was their first vacation together to the low-country. And I hope it won’t be their last!
It has been such a pleasure to photograph the Schiff Family on Kiawah Island last night! Several years ago, Debbie & Russel started a wonderful tradition of having portraits made of them with their grandchildren. This year, we met at The Sanctuary on Kiawah Island on a beautiful summer evening. It was so much fun catching up with everyone and playing with their beautiful grandkids again!!!
It has been such an honor to photograph the Muro Family’s annual reunion on IOP for over a decade! This year, afternoon storms threatened to ruin our photo shoot. But Susan said we should “go for it”…and I’m so glad she did. It was AMAZING to see how big the kids have grown, and to catch up with this beautiful bunch of friendly faces. They always make me feel like part of the family!!! 🙂
Anna went to Charleston Southern University and now works with Coastal Kids Dentistry. Christian is currently stationed with the Army on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. They went to the same high-school, but didn’t really hang out together at first because they were both dating different people. When those relationships ended, they started hanging out in group of singles where Anna & Christian made a real connection with each other. They started dating…and the rest is history!
Christian’s family is originally from Pittsburg. But they moved to Summerville years ago, which is where Anna and Christian ended up meeting at school. Anna’s family is full of educators. Her mom is a math teacher. And her grandfather is a retired Citadel professor in the Education department. Plus Anna’s dad is a Citadel alumni. So it was quite fitting that they had their ceremony at the beautiful Citadel Beach Club!
It was a gorgeous summer day, albeit a little hot outside. But that didn’t stop everyone from coming out and celebrating the love Anna & Christian have for each other! Anna was absolutely stunning in her cathedral-length wedding gown, complete with long flowing veil. Christian was smartly decked out in his blue suit and bowtie. The ceremony was heart-felt. And the reception afterwards was a joyful celebration like no other!!!
Many thanks to Anna’s mom for all her hard work and planning, to Jessica at Lowcountry Weddings for keeping everything organized, to Pastor Eric for the touching ceremony, Chris at Country & Lace for the floral arrangements, Flavours of Charleston for the delicious food, Mikey Lee for rocking the awesome tunes all night long, and all the other vendors who helped make Anna & Christian’s day a huge success!
CONTRATULATIONS Anna & Christian!!! We wish you all the best as you begin this beautiful new journey together…
It’s been a couple years since I’ve had the pleasure of photographing the Guin Family. But they made such an impression on me last time. So I was super excited when Catherine reached out to let me know they were coming back to Kiawah Island this summer! 🙂
We met up at The Sanctuary Hotel on a GORGEOUS summer evening. Everyone looked amazing in their complimenting blue outfits. I was so bummed that their oldest son and his family couldn’t make it this year. But the rest of us had a BLAST and captured some fun family memories to commemorate this year’s family vacation!
The best part was, this was the 10-year anniversary of when Joe proposed to Catherine right on the same boardwalk in front of the hotel. CONGRATULATIONS you two!!!
