Planning a portrait session around Charleston? Here’s a day-of checklist to keep things smooth and authentic. ✨📸

1) Time it right: aim for golden hour at Folly Beach or Isle of Palms for warm, flattering light. For Summerville, aim 60–90 minutes before sunset.
2) Outfit swaps: bring one casual and one dressy option on a hanger or garment bag to change quickly.
3) Quick prep kit: blotting papers, a travel brush, hairspray, and a compact lint roller.
4) Confidence boosters: start with easy, natural prompts Joseph uses—walk, laugh, and breathe into the moment.
5) Minimize distractions: silence phones, bring one helper for kids, and keep pets on standby for short cameo shots.

Why it helps: fewer distractions, more genuine expressions, and faster sessions that respect your schedule. Ready to make it effortless? Book a spot and let’s capture the best of Charleston together — https://wix.to/29HUyvB
