Hoskins Family

Carrie is a child-hood friend of our friend Tonya.  (Many thanks for the kind referral, Tonya!)   I was looking forward to finally photographing Chris & Carrie’s beautiful family beach portraits with great anticipation!

Although it poured the entire afternoon, Carrie & Chris must be living right! The skies finally opened up just in time for us to have a beautiful session on the picturesque beach at Isle of Palms.  🙂  To see more of their photos, visit http://chrisandcami.zenfolio.com/p804066145.

We had so much fun! Their adorable dogs, Daisy and Derby, were wonderful to work with. And the rains started back up just as we were leaving. What great timing!!!

Haik Family on Isle of Palms

It’s been several years now since I last photographed the Haik Family. I was absolutely THRILLED when they called to let me know they were coming back to Wild Dunes and wanted some updated family beach portraits! The best news of all was finding out that their oldest daughter is engaged! CONGRATULATIONS Miranda & Mason!!!

Hadden Family on Sullivan’s Island

Yesterday was another WONDERFUL family photo shoot with my favorite clients, Lisa & Clay! I met up with them and their adorable daughter on the picturesque Sullivan’s Island for a fun sunset beach portrait session. Emma is almost a year old now. Isn’t she adorable?  It’s hard to believe how time flies!!!

Medina Family on Isle of Palms

Earlier this week I had the honor of photographing Frank’s Surprise Proposal to his beautiful, kind, and wonderful girlfriend, Lizzy:  https://chrisandcami.com/lizzie-franks-secret-proposal/. What could top that, right?!?

Well, yesterday I got to meet the rest of their AMAZING family for a fabulous beach photo session on Isle of Palms. We had such a great time together!!! The most incredible part of the shoot was at the very end when the most SPECTACULAR anti-crepuscular rays turned the sky into a dramatic Hollywood movie set!

Since the radiant skies showed up after Frank and Lizzy stayed a little extra with me to photograph a few more engagement photos, I told them it was a sign that their marriage was meant to be! What do you all think? 🙂

Muro Family on Isle of Palms

YAY!!! Another great summer beach session with one of my all-time-favorite families! 🙂

Watkins Family on Hilton Head Island

Our favorite clients are personal referrals from good friends and family. So when friend, neighbor, client, and collaborator, Mackenzie Citro of Just Kenzie Jewelry asked us if we could photograph her cousin’s beautiful family when they were vacationing on Hilton Head Island, we were so honored!

Celebrating their parent’s 70th birthdays, the Watkins Family rented a beautiful house in the immaculate Sea Pines Resort for the week. I met up with them on a beautiful evening, for a fun beach family photo shoot. On the boardwalk to the beach, a magical scene with the sun filtering through the trees reminded me of an enchanted forest from a distant fairy-tale. From there we continued on to the beach, where the evening light, summer breeze, and soft blue skies were a picture perfect scene every photographer hopes for!

The kids did great! And everyone was so much fun to work with! Many thanks to Emily for coordinating everything. And CONGRATULATIONS to Ron & Susan…may you have many many more!!!

Stein Family on Isle of Palms

When a little girl gives you FIVE giant hugs at the end of a shoot, you know you’ve done something right! Many thanks to Chris & Vicki for another fun annual family photo shoot. It’s always great to see you guys!  And a huge thank you to Sabrina for all the hugs!  🙂

Kiawah Island Sunrise Family Session

I had another AMAZING family portrait session with the Evans gang this year!

For something different, we decided to do a sunrise session…which was GORGEOUS!!! Being on the east coast, sunrise is the only time we get to actually have the sun on the horizon in the photos. We lucked out with some dramatic clouds. Plus there was hardly anyone else on the beach that early…so we had it ALL to ourselves!

I loved everyone’s enthusiasm and we all had a blast creating these summer memories for this wonderful family! 🙂

Martin Family on Kiawah Island

Hailing from Ohio, our old stomping grounds before moving here, I had so much fun hanging out with the Martin Family on Kiawah Island last night!

This was their first time vacationing to the Charleston area…and their first time being professionally photographed all together as a family! What an HONOR for me to be a part of their first family beach portrait session!!! I hope the experience didn’t hurt tooooooo much. 😉

Many thanks to Amy for organizing everything. You have a lovely family.  It would be a real treat to photograph you guys again any time!!!

Mahoney Family on Isle of Palms

Last night we had the BEST beach portrait session weather we’ve had all summer! A late afternoon shower came through town and cooled things off. The wind wasn’t too strong.  And the light was soft and beautiful.  Add to all that, how much fun the AMAZING Mahoney Family was to work with, and you have the makings of a wonderful beach portrait session!

I met up with this crazy gang on Isle of Palms. Part of their family lives on IOP. Others drove down to visit from Ohio. So it was the perfect opportunity to gather everyone to gather in one place for some family photos!  Not to mention that we were celebrating a major milestone as well.

Many thanks to Emily for organizing everything.  And CONGRATULATIONS to Dan on turning 75!!!  🙂
