Capturing Family Memories at Folly Beach

I don’t know of a better location in Charleston for family photos than Folly Beach! The sunset over the marsh creates an absolutely dreamy backdrop, especially during this time of year when the marsh grass begins to brown, adding a rustic charm to the scene.

This recent session was particularly special. A beautiful mom reached out to me with a vision for her family photos, and together, we brought that vision to life. The combination of their stunning neutral-toned clothing and the golden hues of the setting sun made for a picture-perfect moment.

There’s something truly magical about capturing these fleeting moments with loved ones, especially in such a scenic setting. Folly Beach never disappoints when it comes to providing the perfect backdrop, whether it’s the peaceful marsh or the vibrant shoreline. The results were just as beautiful as the family itself – timeless, elegant, and full of love.

If you’re looking for a spot that combines natural beauty with a touch of coastal charm, I highly recommend Folly Beach for your next family photo session. There’s just nothing quite like a sunset on the marsh to capture memories that will last a lifetime.

Here are a few of my favorite photos!

WELCOME

Hello! Thank you for visiting! I’m Melissa, a lifestyle family and maternity photographer servicing Charleston, SC and surrounding areas. To me a photo session is more than just smiling at the camera. I want to capture the personalities and playfulness of each member of your family. The way that your daughter grabs her daddy’s pinkie while walking. The way your son plays with your necklace when you hold him close. The way you and your husband giggle at each other when your child does that goofy toothless smile. Those are the timeless moments I want to capture! One day those memories will fade but the photos will carry on.
