"....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.

"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!

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find a portrait studio near Charleston?

Pink Chair Photography is a private portrait studio located in Goose Creek, South Carolina. I provide professional fine art portraiture and headshots throughout the greater Charleston area, including Summerville, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, and Hanahan.

Do you offer studio sessions, on-location shoots, or both?

Both. In-studio portrait sessions offer year-round climate control and maximum privacy. On-location photography sessions are available seasonally (spring, fall, and winter). Due to extreme South Carolina heat, summer sessions are strictly studio-only.

Charleston Corporate Headshots

Do you offer corporate headshots in Charleston?

Yes. I specialize in individual professional headshots, personal branding photography, and on-location corporate headshot events for businesses and teams throughout the Charleston Lowcountry.

What's the difference between a standard headshot and a corporate headshot event?

Standard Headshot: An individual studio session tailored for personal branding, resumes, or LinkedIn profiles.

Corporate Headshot Event: A team session designed to photograph an entire company, ensuring matching backgrounds and consistent corporate branding.

Can you come to our office for team headshots?

Yes, depending on your team size:

Teams of 20+: Includes a full mobile studio setup brought directly to your corporate office.

Teams of 6–19: Scheduled sequentially as individual appointments at my Goose Creek studio.

Teams of 5 or fewer: Booked together as a single group block at the studio.

How do I get pricing for a corporate headshot event?

Half-day and full-day corporate rates are listed directly on the Corporate Headshot Request Form. For custom group sizes or specific corporate branding needs, please contact me directly for a custom quote.

Logistics & Credentials

Should I arrive with hair and makeup already done?

Yes. Clients must arrive photo-ready. Studio availability is strictly reserved for photography; on-site hair and makeup styling cannot be accommodated. A preferred list of local Charleston hair and makeup artists is available upon request.

What makes Pink Chair Photography different from other Charleston photographers?

Unlike high-volume digital studios, I specialize in painterly, Renaissance-inspired fine art portraiture alongside clean, modern corporate headshots. Each image undergoes a signature hand-editing process to create a timeless, masterpiece look.

Is Pink Chair Photography award-winning?

Yes. Pink Chair Photography is an award-winning studio, voted Best of South Carolina for corporate headshots, a two-time Photographer of the Year, and Artist of the Year. I hold a Master of Photography degree through PPA and am a member of the American Society of Photographers.
