Finally checked out The Dunlin at Kiawah River last weekend and can confidently say it lived up to the hype. Gorgeous design around every corner and a stunning property! Would love a little staycation here 😍

Holbox: Part 2. We loved this tiny little island in the Yucatán. It feels like a less bougie Tulum and a larger Sayulita - just right for me! Highlights included the ATV taxis to get around the often flooded island, incredible stargazing, bioluminescence in the water, and a general chill and restorative vibe 🥰

Finally getting around to sharing some highlights from Isla Holbox last month, starting with our gorgeous hotel! We loved this family-owned 12-room boutique hotel and couldn’t say enough good things about the wonderful staff. Would recommend for a couples vacay or girls trip (no kids allowed!).

From meeting at a NYE party to shooting together last month, it’s been an absolute joy working with @meganmakesdrinks and @dosethepartystream + @thebetterpour! If you’re looking for an incredible vintage airstream for any upcoming events/photoshoots, these ladies have you covered (and they’ll even make some killer cocktails for you to boot!).

It’s less common for me these days, but I love shooting family sessions with “big kids.” I had a great time on this beach shoot with the Kelleher’s while their kids were back in town for Thanksgiving. It’s a nice reminder that these are still important years and milestones worth capturing 🫶🏻

I’ve loved all of the family sessions I’ve shot over the past few months as holiday card season was in full swing, and wanted to share a few in the new year including these featuring one of my favorite photographers and her family @haleyjane.photography! Baby Gus is just toooo much 🥹

Hampton Park has been showing off the last few weeks as Spring kicks it into high gear in the lowcountry. Here’s a handful of my favorite shots as the azaleas were peaking. 1st carousel image was second shooting for the amazing @sloanphoto!

Let’s hear it for the boys! I love doing portraits with grooms on their big day. It looks like we shot this in a studio with the dramatic background but really just lucked out with the getting ready location!

Megan was so great to work with - her level of professionalism and expertise were so appreciated the day of our wedding. She made everything a breeze & captured all the special moments. Megan's communication is TOP NOTCH! She went above and beyond to meet with us before the big day to go over wants and "must haves" for shots and was sure to include everything we discussed. She was always quick to respond and extremely knowledgeable which took so much off an already FULL plate! Absolutely loved working with Megan!!

"Megan was super professional and is a wonderful photographer! Her talent behind the camera lens shines in her beautiful photos. She knew how to get the lighting just right and made the photo part of our big day stress free and fun! I can't say enough good things about her or about our pictures."

After years of bad experiences with headshots, Megan was a needed breath of fresh air! She put me at ease, made the shoot fun, and managed to capture the best headshots I’ve ever had. I was really impressed with her depth of expertise and eye for detail and perfect lighting. Finally, I have headshots I can proudly use for my professional endeavors!
