Welcome to Charleston Photo Art, where we capture natural and timeless family photos in Charleston, SC. As both a father and a professional Charleston family photographer, I understand how meaningful it is to preserve the moments that tell your family’s story.

Whether we’re photographing your family on Folly Beach, beneath the historic oaks of Magnolia Plantation, or in the charming streets of Downtown Charleston, my goal is to create relaxed and joyful photo sessions that reflect who you truly are.

Many couples whose weddings I photographed return as their families grow. It’s an honor to capture these new chapters and create photographs your family will treasure for generations.

Family Photography FAQ

What if the weather gets bad?

If the weather turns out bad, we can reschedule the session for another day that works for both you and us. If you are visiting from out of town, we recommend scheduling your session on the first day of your stay so we have a larger window to adjust the time or day if needed.

What if a family member gets sick?

We totally understand that this can happen. We allow you to reschedule for another day and time that works for both of us, without any extra charge.

What if the kids don’t cooperate?

As a family with kids ourselves, we understand this very well. We try to prepare you for the session so young children stay engaged. We usually start with the more structured family photos at the beginning of the session, and then move into a more candid, playful part where you simply interact and play with your kids while we capture those natural moments.

When will we receive our photos?

After reviewing the pictures, you will receive sneak peeks within 24 hours. The remaining photos will be ready in a few weeks.

What are the group limits for a family session?

We do not have a strict limit and are happy to work with both a single family or larger family gatherings. However, we usually recommend booking a longer session for multiple families, as it requires more time for both individual and group photos.

Can you help us with direction and posing?

Absolutely! That is completely our responsibility. We will guide you throughout the session so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience.

    Natural Family Photography in Charleston

    Each family portrait is a unique masterpiece at Charleston Photo Art, reflecting the distinct essence of your family. Like fingerprints, no two families are the same, and this uniqueness is what we capture in every shot. It's the laughter of a child, the tender glance between parents, or the gentle embrace of siblings - these unscripted moments create a portrait that is exclusively yours. We blend the individuality of each member with the collective spirit of the family, crafting a visual narrative that is as special and irreplaceable as you are. In every frame, we encapsulate not just images, but emotions, relationships, and stories, making every family portrait a one-of-a-kind treasure

    What about the outfits?

    Even if you are planning to have black-and-white photographs, the outfits of all participants should have matching style. Neutral color scheme is a never-fail option for any photo session. Earth color palette is also a good one. Especially if you would like to add more colors but are afraid of looking gaudy. Looking through examples of family portraits is also a way to find your inspiration. One more idea – check the content from a stylist you like or even involve one to prepare the whole family outlook. Whatever way you choose, please remember to do it beforehand. You may need time to buy some pieces. Having enough time will make your preparations more comfortable.
