Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you may be wondering before your session.
The cost of professional headshots in Charleston varies depending on the photographer. Your headshot is often one of the first impressions someone has of you and your business or personal brand, so it’s worth investing in a photographer who you trust to represent you authentically. It is my passion and goal to help you do just that!
A headshot focuses primarily on clean, professional portraits of you, typically photographed from the chest or waist up and intended for websites, LinkedIn profiles, company directories, casting profiles, and other professional uses.
A branding session tells a much bigger story. These can include portraits, lifestyle images, your workspace, products, behind-the-scenes moments, and photographs of you actually working. They’re designed to give business owners and personal brands a larger collection of images they can use across their website, social media, marketing materials, and other content.

You are definitely not alone! A lot of people feel a little nervous in front of the camera. I’ve had many clients who felt that way before shooting with me, but what they found is that a good photographer offers guidance throughout the session. You do not need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. I’ve got you! I’ll guide you through posing and expression and make small adjustments as necessary so you never feel like you’re left to figure it out on your own.
Yes, I offer on-location headshots for individuals, small teams, and businesses. This is a great option for companies that want a consistent, professional look without requiring team members to travel to a studio. I will bring the studio to you! Larger team or company headshot sessions can be quoted based on the number of people.
I am excited to be partnering with Artistry Ave (Kala Kannisto) for professional H&MU services. You can check out her website at

Actor Headshots are shot at a disclosed location in downtown Charleston. Headshots for realtors, attorneys, professionals, business owners, etc. are a little different. I can come to your office, a listing, a preferred lifestyle location, or studio space rental is an option as an add-on.
Absolutely! I love to meet and photograph families who are visiting the Charleston area, including those staying on Kiawah Island — a beautiful place for gorgeous family photos! Together we can plan a session around your location and schedule.
Yes! I know how tricky it can be to get that full family photo when life gets busy and everyone lives in a different area. If you have family in town for the holiday season, I’d be more than happy to capture everyone together. For this type of session, I’d capture multiple setups including individual families, all the children, and the entire extended family together. That way, each family will have family portraits they love.
First of all, congrats! I love love and I LOVE seeing couples have these beautiful moments together. And yes — I can absolutely help. I will help you plan how to get stunning photos of the proposal without ruining the surprise for your partner.
Of course, this is one of my favorite parts! We’ll go over wardrobe during your creative consultation once you’ve booked your session and I’m always happy to take a look at options you may have to help you choose something that photographs beautifully and makes you feel confident.
Your color corrected private gallery will be available within 5–7 business days. Once final selections have been made, retouched images will be delivered within 7 business days. Priority turnaround is available as an add-on and is dependent on package and current availability.
Every image you select as part of your package is individually edited. In addition to color correction and minor adjustments, professional retouching may include skin cleanup, fixing stray hairs, removing distractions (think cars or power lines, for example), and other small refinements — without completely altering who YOU are.
I understand that it can be overwhelming to go through a lot of photos and pick your favorites, so I'm happy to help if you need it.
Absolutely! Additional professionally retouched images are only $55 per photo. You can order as many as you like!
You will have access to a color corrected private proof gallery where you can select the images you love and you'll receive high resolution downloadable files of the professionally retouched images included in your package. Additional images are available for purchase if you love more than what your package includes. RAW or unedited images are not released.
A 20% non-refundable retainer and signed agreement is required to book your session. The remaining balance is due 48 hours before your shoot.
Absolutely! I love tags and collabs! However, altering the images with filters, apps, or any other methods is not permitted and this is in my agreement you sign when booking.
Reshoots are only offered due to technical malfunctions. I will show you images as we move through the shoot as well to make sure you're happy with what we're getting!
If you need to reschedule, your non-refundable retainer can be moved to a new date once. Cancellations must be made within 48 hours in order to move your retainer. If notice is given under 48 hours, a new retainer is required to rebook a session.
Please arrive 15 minutes early for your scheduled session.
