"Senior photos but make it unique...."

I highly recommend Pink Chair Photography. She's Beautiful, energetic, creative and fun spirited. She done an amazing job with my daughter's senior pictures.

"Her skill set is above most photographers"

After looking at several photographers in the Charleston area, I felt like they do the same style of work...although it was nice it was not anything I wanted. I have portraits throughout my home that are timeless. Pink Chair Photography was what I was looking for!

"....Don't bother looking anywhere else, Amy is the best...."

Amy was absolutely stellar. Professional, knowledgeable, kind, and absolutely amazing at her art. She made our wedding photos genuine masterpieces and we couldn't be happier.

Charleston Portrait Photography FAQ

Where is Pink Chair Photography located?

Pink Chair Photography is a private, appointment-only studio in Goose Creek, South Carolina, serving Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry. Outdoor sessions are available at select Charleston-area locations.

What types of photography do you offer?

I offer three primary services: studio photography, professional headshots, and outdoor portraits. Sessions range from simple, polished portraits to highly artistic custom creations.

What can I have photographed in the studio?

Studio sessions include individual portraits, couples, families, maternity, boudoir, pets, model portfolios, and creative concepts. Groups of up to seven people and well-behaved pets are welcome.

What are my editing options?

Choose from minimal retouching, painterly finishing inspired by classical art, or elaborate custom digital artwork. More complex projects are developed collaboratively, beginning with a shared creative concept.

Do you offer professional headshots and model comp cards?

Yes. I photograph professional headshots for LinkedIn, corporate profiles, ERAS applications, and business teams, along with model portfolios and comp cards. Corporate headshot events can also be arranged at your business location using a mobile studio setup.

Do you offer outdoor portrait sessions in Charleston?

Yes. Outdoor sessions are generally available from late September through early May. During the hottest months, photography focuses on the climate-controlled studio.

How far in advance should I book?

Appointments can generally be scheduled up to eight weeks ahead, depending on availability. Custom artwork and seasonal outdoor sessions benefit from early planning.

What makes Pink Chair Photography different?

Amy Gerhardt holds the Master of Photography degree through Professional Photographers of America (PPA), is a member of the American Society of Photographers (ASP), and has earned Photographer of the Year and other professional honors.
