Planning a getaway to Jekyll Island?


Whether it’s a family reunion, anniversary trip, or your kids’ first time seeing the Atlantic Ocean, a vacation here is filled with moments you’ll want to remember forever. Here’s why hiring a local photographer before you arrive is one of the smartest moves you can make:

1. The Best Locations Get Booked Fast

I know the island’s prettiest (and most peaceful) beaches, hidden boardwalks, and dreamy Spanish moss spots—but they go quick! Booking early ensures we get the best lighting and setting.


2. It’s One Less Thing to Stress About on Vacation

You don’t want to spend your vacation Googling photographers or rushing around last minute. Pre-booking gives you peace of mind.


3. I Help You Plan What to Wear

Coordinating outfits from a suitcase isn’t easy. I send style guides with family-friendly tips for beach sessions, plus help you choose what photographs well in this coastal light.

4. I Work Around Your Schedule, Not the Other Way Around

Want sunrise on the beach before the kids get tired? Or golden hour after dinner? Booking ahead means you get first dibs on my calendar.

5. You’ll Actually Be In the Photos

Enough said. No setting timers. No begging a stranger. Just you, your people, and real memories captured forever.

6. I Know How to Get the Kids to Smile—Even in 90° Humidity

As a mom and a full-time photographer, I know how to move quickly, keep kids engaged, and capture true connection without anyone melting down.

7. You Can Turn Your Photos Into Custom Vacation Keepsakes

I offer beachy framed prints, albums, and even photo ornaments so you can remember this trip in a way that goes far beyond your camera roll.

8. Jekyll Has Beautiful Weather… But You Still Need a Plan B

I always have a backup plan—rainy day options, indoor lifestyle sessions, or rescheduling if the storm rolls in.

9. You Can Get Your Photos in Time for the Holidays

Imagine sending your Christmas cards this year with a glowing photo from Driftwood Beach or the Historic District. Pre-booking lets me deliver on time!

10. This Season of Life Won’t Repeat Itself

The baby curls, the gap-toothed grin, the just-engaged joy—this is your story. Let’s capture it while you're relaxed, together, and far from your normal (never ending) to-do list.
