Charleston Lifestyle | Island Family

Posted on August 3, 2011

I always enjoy capturing the unscripted moments that take place between group poses or as we move from one scene to another, so this session was especially fun. An acquaintance from my Atlanta high school contacted me to take some photos of her clan enjoying the Charleston lifestyle one afternoon at her family’s beach house. Hopefully these moments will help keep summer fresh in their minds as the kids start back to school.

Goody No Shoes | Charleston Beach Photographer

Posted on June 27, 2011

Ah, summer! It’s that time again. (In case you couldn’t tell from the triple-digit heat index.) What April was for Charleston brides, June and July are for vacationing families. It’s so fun meeting people who are soaking up a week of salty seaside leisure. Goody’s family is from Rock Hill, SC, and his children live in Charleston and Rochester. The New York crew had an especially memorable week since it was their daughter’s first beach trip. She wasn’t too fond of posing with the clan, but she had big fun toddling all over the sand. I love the doting grandparent shots!

Toddler loves beach life. And it's only her first day with her toes in the sand!

Toddler wrangling can be a challenge at the beach. Sometimes a gal just needs to leave the roost and explore.

In summer, families converge at the beach for seaside reunions and quality memory making.

If you’re looking for a Charleston beach photographer, contact Jennifer. Even an ordinary day can be momentous!





The Captain’s Crew {Family}

Posted on January 26, 2011

Earlier this week, I wrote about commercial fisherman Mark Marhefka and the chefs and locals that rely on him for the freshest Lowcountry seafood. Since the Abundant Seafood post got a bit lengthy, I figured a sequel was in order for his family photos. His wife Kerry has an infectious energy which she currently channels into triathlon training and managing the household when Mark is at sea. Their kids are close in ages and stages to my own, so it was fun to shoot another snaggletooth and her zany brother.
