As a family and wedding photographer serving Tybee Island and the Savannah area, there's a lot more behind-the-scenes work than you might realize. Here's a glimpse into everything I do, from the moment you first contact me to delivering your final images, and even beyond!

As the weather warms up and visitors flock to Tybee Island and Savannah, the tourism season kicks into high gear. For a photographer like me, that means long days, back-to-back shoots, and countless hours of editing. While I love capturing families, couples, and weddings, the sheer volume of work can be overwhelming if I’m not fully prepared…

Real estate photography is about more than just snapping a few pictures, it’s about crafting images that make for sale homes and STVRs look their absolute best. Whether I’m shooting a beachfront property on Tybee Island or a historic home in Savannah, I use a technique called the flambient method to create bright, natural, and true-to-life images. This blog will give you a behind-the-scenes look at my process, from capturing the shots to delivering the final images.

Welcome back to our series on getting the best photos from your shoot! Today, we’re talking about something that’s often overlooked but plays a huge role in your final images: the weather.

Whether you’re planning family photos on Tybee Island or a wedding in Savannah, the weather can completely transform the mood, lighting, and overall feel of your images. By understanding how light changes in different conditions, you can make the most of your session and embrace whatever the day brings.

Our story begins with a kayak, a perfect summer day, and the kind of disaster you can only laugh about later…

It goes without saying, but you can't come to Tybee Island without spending some time on our beautiful beaches. Whether you prefer to relax with a book, play in the surf, or build sandcastles with the kids, the shoreline here has something for everyone. My tip? Go early in the morning or later in the day to avoid the heat and crowds—and the lighting is perfect for photos!

As I write this, 70 mph gusts are howling outside my bedroom window. The entire island has lost power, and the only sound left is the wind. Just a few hours ago, tornado sirens wailed as swirling clouds passed over, and 11 waterspouts/tornados touched down nearby. For us here on Tybee, this is all part of living here.

Lighting at different times can dramatically impact the look and feel of your photos, so knowing when to schedule can make a huge difference!
