Tiny Wedding Pop-Up at Southern Chic Event Hall

As a Charleston-based photographer, I had the opportunity to document the Tiny Wedding pop-up event at Southern Chic Event Hall. With styling by Southern Chic Event Rentals, the venue was transformed into an elegant, intimate space, proving that even a simple setting can become something extraordinary.

My focus was on capturing each couple’s unique celebration—highlighting the small details, emotional moments, and the beauty of intimate weddings. This gallery showcases how creativity and thoughtful design can turn any space into a stunning backdrop for saying I do.

Engagement at Charlotte St. Park

On a warm spring afternoon, I had the privilege of capturing a heartfelt surprise proposal at the very pier in Charleston where Emily and Jordan first met. Knowing the sentimental importance of this location, Jordan chose this spot for his proposal, trusting me to capture their special moment.

Celebrate Your Pregnancy with Personalized Maternity Photos

Pregnancy is weird and wonderful—and worth remembering. My studio maternity sessions are all about celebrating this moment in your body and your life. I keep it personal, low-pressure, and creative, whether you’re glowing, tired, joyful, overwhelmed, or all of the above.

I shoot from a cozy, editorial-style studio space in Charleston and offer wardrobe guidance, creative direction, and space to just be. Have a vision? Let’s build on it. No clue what you want? I’ll guide you with care.

Personalized Photography That Captures Your Vision

This isn’t about generic poses or forced smiles. Together, we’ll talk about what you want your maternity photos to feel like—powerful, playful, soft, glamorous, raw, or something in between. I’ll help you pick looks, styling, and set direction that supports your energy and story.

Whether you’re envisioning a classic editorial shoot or something more experimental, I’m here to help you feel confident, comfortable, and seen.

Tailored Sessions for Every Family

Every family looks different, and I love that. Whether you’re a solo parent, queer couple, chosen family, or somewhere in between—your story belongs here. You deserve maternity portraits that reflect your version of love, care, and transformation.

I’ll take time to learn what matters to you and make space for partners, older siblings, pets, or whoever feels like home to you. My sessions are queer-affirming, body-positive, and centered around you.

Book Your Personalized Maternity Session

If you’re ready to document your pregnancy in a way that feels honest, creative, and totally you, let’s talk. I shoot in Charleston, SC and love working with families of all shapes and stories.

Reach out to book your maternity session—or just start the conversation. Let’s make something you’ll want to show your kid someday and say: this was me, this was us, this was beautiful.

Melfi's

Charleston, SC | Images from 2020–2024

From 2019 to 2024, I worked as a server at Melfi’s in Charleston — and through that time, I documented the heart of the restaurant as it evolved, especially through the pandemic.

This gallery is a tribute to the care, camaraderie, and resilience that made Melfi’s feel like family. It’s a visual record of connection, community, and the beauty of everyday service.

It’s dedicated to the people who made those years worthwhile — a celebration of the human spirit, and the family I found there.
