“When Stephanie says that the portrait session is going to be an experience, she is absolutely correct. From the moment we first contacted her, the experience was seamless, professional, fun and relaxed. We live in Connecticut and were planning on visiting the Charleston area for a long weekend, when my daughter mentioned that she might like to do her senior pictures while we were there. While I loved the idea, to be quite honest, it was a bit overwhelming to think about undertaking this with multiple outfit changes, uncertainty of weather and no knowledge of the area. But, from the moment we contacted Stephanie, she put our mind at ease and assured us a wonderful experience – to which she more than delivered! From the pre-shoot Zoom consultation, where she focused on getting to know Lauren, as well as assisting with outfit choices – to the included hair and makeup session, which both made Lauren feel beautiful, but also still ‘herself’, the process was perfect. The actual photo session was so much fun! Lauren was apprehensive to be the center of attention, and Stephanie did an amazing job at making her feel comfortable behind the camera. The added benefit of being able to see the various aspects of the city from Rainbow Row to the beach, only enhanced the experience. Perhaps the best part of the day was simply being able to experience this time as mother and daughter as she enters this monumental time in her life. To have these memories captured in the beautiful photos that Stephanie gave us is priceless. We cannot recommend her and her team enough! Thank you!” – Christie Hoover
Client Spotlight: Charleston Senior Portrait Experience
When families travel from across the country to work with us, it’s always such an honor. Christie and her daughter Lauren visited Charleston from Connecticut for a long weekend — and what started as a spontaneous idea to take senior portraits turned into an unforgettable experience filled with laughter, confidence, and priceless memories.
From our very first Zoom consultation, the goal was to create an experience that felt effortless from start to finish. We planned every detail — from outfit selections to professional hair and makeup — ensuring Lauren felt beautiful, confident, and completely herself. By the time we explored Charleston’s colorful streets on Rainbow Row and finished with golden light by the beach, every moment felt magical.
What touched us most was watching this become more than a photoshoot — it was a beautiful mother-daughter experience celebrating a milestone moment. Knowing they left with both stunning portraits and cherished memories is why we love what we do.
If you’re dreaming of senior portraits that feel relaxed, elevated, and full of joy — even if you’re visiting from out of town — we’d love to help you create your own unforgettable Charleston experience.
Thank you, Christie! We absolutely loved working with you!!
