"5 out of 5 stars! Joshua did a great job with my graduation photos. He not only positioned me the right way but talked with me about what I was looking for. The photo shoot took an hour, and I had 30 edited professional photos back within 2 days. Fully recommend Joshua for any photography needs."

My photoshoot was great! Josh was very patient and kind with me as I changed the scenery and my outfits. He was even able to give me different poses to do when I couldn’t think of anything. If you’re looking for high quality pictures for a reasonable price and good vibes, BOOK!🫶🏾"

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about my photography services. - Click the FAQ in the menu for more commonly asked questions!

How far in advance should I book my photography session?

For most sessions, I recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance to ensure availability. For events and graduation sessions during peak season (May-June and November-December), I suggest booking 1-2 months ahead. Rush bookings may be accommodated based on availability.

What happens if it rains on the day of our outdoor session?

If weather conditions are unfavorable for your outdoor session, we have two options: reschedule to another available date at no additional cost, or move to an indoor location. I closely monitor weather forecasts and will be in touch 24-48 hours before your session if weather appears to be an issue.

How long until I receive my photos?

Turnaround times vary by service: Professional headshots are typically delivered within 48 hours. Portrait sessions are ready within 1 week. Event photography is delivered within 1-2 weeks depending on event size. Graduation sessions are completed within 1 week. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee.

Do you provide both digital files and prints?

Yes! All packages include high-resolution digital images delivered via a private online gallery. From there, you can download your photos and order professional prints directly. I partner with professional printing labs to ensure your prints maintain the same quality and color accuracy as the digital files.

What areas around Charleston and the DMV do you serve?

I provide photography services throughout the Charleston metro area, including Downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, James Island, Johns Island, Daniel Island, Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, Folly Beach, and Summerville. I will also serve the DC metro area more, including areas like Arlington, Alexandria, Silver Spring, Bethesda, and other nearby neighborhoods. Travel to locations beyond these areas may incur an additional fee.
