Some places don’t ask you to stay the same. 🌊

Folly light, long shadows, salt air, and a reminder that forward is still forward.

What place always resets your perspective?

Folly Beach and Charleston have a way of slowing things down-in a good way-and they're meaningful places to spend time together.

If you're visiting this season and considering photos, it helps to plan ahead. Availability can fill quickly during busy weeks.

I've made booking simple online. You can view sessions and request a date, and I'll follow up personally to help with timing and location (sunrise on Folly and early mornings in Charleston tend to be the most relaxed).

If you'd like to get something on the calendar before your trip (I'm local to Folly!):

I photograph on Folly Beach and in Charleston and am happy to answer any questions. You can also view my work on my website:

I walk this stretch near Truluck Island almost every day—and I still miss it sometimes.

It’s easy to get used to something this beautiful—to pass it without really seeing it.

Last night I stopped and framed it, just with my phone. Same view, different pace.

It felt quieter that way. More intentional.

Sometimes that’s all it takes.

Ben asked, Ashley said yes—and it all unfolded aboard the catamaran Prevailing Winds with Charleston Sailing Adventures on a windy afternoon in Charleston Harbor, with the Ravenel Bridge just beyond.

It was such a thoughtful, beautifully planned moment, and a joy to photograph.

I photograph proposals throughout Charleston—on Folly Beach, downtown, and on the water. Working in changing natural light and real conditions like this is something I’m very comfortable with, and it allows me to stay focused on what matters most: recognizing the moment as it’s happening and preserving it as it is truly felt.

Thank you to Captain Brian for welcoming me aboard, and to Ben and Ashley for trusting me with such an important moment.

If you were planning a proposal in Charleston, would you choose the beach, the city, or the water?

There are some people you meet briefly who stay with you.

This portrait is of Guillermina Hernandez, the longtime owner of Los Pinareños Frutería on Calle Ocho in Little Havana—often affectionately known as the “Abuela of Little Havana.” She has been part of this street for decades, offering fresh fruit and guarapo (sugarcane juice) with such warmth and joy.

When I asked if I could photograph her, she simply smiled and stood as herself. Nothing arranged. Just a moment that felt completely genuine.

Our guide, Mariela, shared that Guillermina’s soul shines through her eyes—and standing there with her, it felt undeniably true.

We visited her stand during a cultural and culinary tour with Miami Culinary Tours on my birthday, and it was such a meaningful experience. Mariela brought so much warmth, humor, and depth to the morning, sharing her love for Little Havana and Cuban culture in a way that felt truly personal.

Moments like this are why I’m drawn to portraiture—whether I’m photographing someone here on Folly Beach, in Charleston, or somewhere new.

If you find yourself in Miami, I can’t recommend this tour enough.
