Park Bend at Carolina Park for Grove Property Fund

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Park Bend and several surrounding properties. This multi-building retail/office/flex project is strategically located across from Costco Wholesale within the Carolina Park Master-Planned community. It was designed by LFK Architects, built by Harbor Contracting, and is managed by the Grove Property Fund.

Grove Property Fund is a diversified private real estate company. Ed Navarro, the fund’s manager, has over 30 years of experience in real estate investment. The Fund’s property portfolio includes retail, mixed use, flex, industrial, office and land. I’ve included shots of the cleared land where the next phase of the Carolina Park expansion will take place.

Many thanks to Jenny at Gritty Gal Marketing for all her help coordinating this assignment!!!

New Construction for Harbor Contracting

This was a fun project!!!

I recently started working with Harbor Contracting. I mean, I’ve known their marketing agent, Jenny at Gritty Gal Marketing for a loooong time. I photographed her beautiful wedding to Nate 13 years ago!!!  It has been so much fun re-connecting with her, and teaming up together on these projects.

This most recent assignment was to cover 3 new commercial buildings they just completed along Slack Tide Drive on Johns Island. I know what you’re thining…Johns Island is getting over developed already. But this little patch is just off Maybank Highway and didn’t have much of an impact on the native flora and fauna, which is nice. Harbor Contracting did an amazing job! Each building is similar, but unique…with courtyards and walkways tying all of them together. The attention to detail and careful aesthetics was top notch!

I photographed the project with a Nikon Z9, Nikkor Z 14-30 f4, Nikkor Z 24-120 f4, and DJI Mavic 3 Pro.  This versatile kit allows me to cover every angle for a variety of different shots!

The Wild Pet Nutrition for Harbor Contracting

I recently had the exciting opportunity to photograph The Wild Pet Nutrition store, collaborating with Harbor Contracting to showcase their latest project. Located in the rapidly expanding Carolina Park neighborhood of Mt. Pleasant, The Wild Pet Nutrition is dedicated to providing high-quality, natural pet foods and supplies, ensuring that our furry friends receive the best nutrition possible.

The shoot aimed to capture the store’s inviting atmosphere and vibrant displays. I focused on highlighting the well-organized product sections, the friendly staff, and the overall charm of the store, which perfectly aligns with the brand’s commitment to pet care. Working with Harbor Contracting, we documented their impressive work in transforming this space, recognizing the thoughtful design and layout that enhance the shopping experience for pet owners.

Utilizing my trusty Nikon Z9, the Nikkor Z 14-30 and a DJI Mavic 3 Pro, I was able to capture a variety of images that reflect the essence of The Wild Pet Nutrition store. Many thanks to Jenny with www.grittygalmarketing.com, www.harborcontracting.net, and Caroline with www.thewildpetstores.com for all their help! It was an honor to collaborate with everyone, and I look forward to seeing how the photos will enhance their marketing efforts!

ECCO for Harbor Contracting with Gritty Gal Marketing

This week I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful new project for Habror Contracting. Alex was the lead on this build for East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO). He did an amazing job!

Founded as an emergency relief effort in 1989 after Hurricane Hugo’s devastation, ECCO has since grown into a permanent resource for the community with three main service areas: Assistance (essential services ECCO provides to local neighbors facing financial hardship), Guidance (the system of support provided to clients along their path to opportunity), and Resources (connecting clients to a network of community partners who can help on their journey towards achieving personal goals).

But the best part of photographing this assignment was that I got to reconnect with Jenny, who’s beautiful wedding I photographed a dozen years ago (YIKES…am I getting old?!?). Jenny and Nate were absolutely fantastic to work with back then. Fast forward to today, and Jenny runs a hugely successful firm called Gritty Gal Marketing. If you need any kind of marketing, contact Jenny at www.grittygalmarketing.com. She was such a pleasure to collaborate with. And she even showed up on the job site so we could catch up. Going above and beyond like that for her clients is part of what makes Jenny so amazing!!!
