The FAQ
Do you Travel?
I am local to Myrtle Beach, SC & can cover the Grand Strand, Charleston & Wilmington areas without additional travel fees. I also frequent Long Island, NY often. I am always excited to bring my camera on the road, so feel free to message me about travel options!
How long have you been doing this?
I started really learning photography on a film camera back in 2008, and the passion grew from there. I have been officially in business since 2019.
Whats your turn around time?
I allow for three weeks to edit your gallery, however, I am usually too excited so it’s likely a lot sooner than this!
How do we book you?
You can contact me right from the website, or at southernislandphotography@gmail.com.
Can you help us with planning?
Yes! Once you book with me, we will have a consultation via phone or online, and we can discuss all the details regarding location, outfits, time of day, whatever you need!
How do we get our photos?
You will receive an online gallery to choose from, and then depending on the package you have selected, you’ll receive those hi-res images to download.
What should we wear?
This is something we will discuss in your consultation, however, I am partial to a coordinated look that isn’t an exact match. Something organic and real!
What if my kids aren’t cooperating?
You would be surprised going through my galleries just how many of those kiddos had a meltdown at some point, but you’d never know it looking at the pictures. I aim to make every shoot a fun experience for everyone, but kids will be kids- and we will wait out those storms until we get the perfect shots.
What if we’ve never had professional photos taken before?
These are some of my favorite clients! If you’ve never been behind the camera, you’ll likely be pleasantly surprised how fun I can make the experience so you won’t feel awkward or self-conscious. Your authentic smiles will be beautiful!
