Charleston Portrait Photographer 

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I view portrait session pricing and collection options?
Detailed pricing and collection information is available by selecting the “View” button feature beneath each portrait experience. Collections range from signature fine-art commissions to smaller custom portrait selections and straightforward studio photography.

Are digital images included with my portrait session?
Yes. Painterly , Boudoir & Headshot portrait commissions include high-resolution digital masters along with your printed artwork, if included.

Are prints included?
Each Painterly & Boudoir commission includes matted 8x10 fine-art portraits, professional retouching, and digital masters. Additional museum-quality wall art and heirloom prints are also available through the studio. All sessions provide access to purchase printed portraits.

Can I purchase additional portraits or wall art?
Absolutely. You may add extra images, fine-art prints, albums, or custom wall art to your final collection at any time.

What should I wear for my portrait session?
After booking, you’ll receive wardrobe guidance tailored to the artistic vision of your session. Clothing selections are chosen to complement the cinematic and painterly style of my work.

Do I need modeling experience for a portrait session?
Not at all. Every session is fully guided with posing, expression coaching, and direction throughout the experience so you can feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera.

What makes your portrait style different?
My work blends cinematic lighting, fine-art retouching, and painterly tones to create portraits that feel timeless, emotional, and intentionally crafted rather than heavily posed or trend-driven.

Do you offer fine-art portrait photography near Charleston, South Carolina?
Yes. I photograph fine-art and cinematic portraits for clients who live throughout Charleston, James Island, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, and surrounding South Carolina areas.

What if I need photographs that are not painterly?
My Classic Collection was created for just that reason- it provides clean, minimalist photography for those who are requiring basic portraits without a lot of fuss or photoshop. 

I'm getting married, do you photograph weddings?
While I do not provide event coverage for wedding ceremonies, I do offer Bridal Fine Art portraits intended to be displayed at the reception.

Do you work with children- I don't see many in your portfolio?
Yes, I absolutely work with school-aged children, though you will notice a limited number of them in my online portfolio. To protect the privacy and safety of my youngest clients, I have elected to no longer publicly display new images of children, regardless of parental consent. My portrait work with children focuses on a formal, heirloom-quality aesthetic. Please note that I specialize exclusively a classical style for young subjects and do not offer milestone events, birthday sessions, or cake smashes
