Who is the 1-hour session for?
If you would like to add multiple locations or extended family members, you will need to add an additional hour of coverage.
How do I know if I need to add an additional hour?
My current minimum coverage is an hour. This allows you to feel at ease knowing we are capturing all the shots you are dreaming of. It also guarantees an intentional gallery with variety and authentic moments – you can’t rush the real stuff.
Do you offer shorter sessions?
The 1-hour session includes up to 2 outfits. If you would like to capture more than 2 outfits, add an additional hour of coverage so you can feel relaxed through the session and allow each look to have it’s moment to shine.
What if I want to add an additional outfit?
No, film is an add-on. Add film to any session for a nostalgic, dreamy, and natural collection of photos. The film rate is $150/roll. Expect about 20 photos per roll.
Does the 1-hour rate include film?
I am happy to travel for your session! Anywhere beyond a 60-mile radius of Hilton Head Island, SC, is subject to a travel fee. Please inquire for a custom quote if your session is beyond these parameters.
Check out my travel schedule at the bottom of this page if I’m in a location near you soon (travel fee waived for these locations).
Do you travel? What locations are subject to a travel fee?
My intention is for you to have the best photos. That said, I am flexible to reschedule if it is raining or unsafe to shoot photos during our scheduled session. If it is unsafe to shoot photos and we are unable to reschedule, you will receive your remaining balance (not including the nonrefundable retainer).
What if it rains or the weather is poor?

"She captured every moment so beautifully and naturally."
Our time together is relaxed and comfortable, allowing your true personalities to shine. I blend documentary-style candids with gentle, natural direction (never overly posed) so your gallery feels unique, personal, and full of genuine connection.
I provide an intentional questionnaire to get to know you and your partner/family members before our session. The details you share spark a sense of connection and allow me to document this season of life with care.
To get started, fill out the inquiry form here.

"Are you looking for a fantastic photographer? Summer is the best! I have had the pleasure of working with her twice for my Maui Alpaca farm and she captures the lighting and mood like no other. I have had other people take photos, but no one ever has done it as nice as she does. She is prompt and edits her photos beautifully. Highly recommend. PS A bonus if her soon to be husband comes and does a video. Great couple."

"My fiance and I had an amazing time shooting with Summer. Neither of us are that comfortable in front of a camera, but Summer never made us feel awkward or like we didn’t belong. She made the experience both light and fun, and encouraged ridiculous poses to get us laughing. We received photos we will love and hold onto forever, and would recommend anyone work with her!"
