We highly recommend Maureen! This is our second time booking her for our Hilton Head vacation. Both times she has been wonderful to work with. She accommodated our slight change of plans, watched the weather in case we had to adjust our location, and is just simply a joy to chat with! All of our photos have been absolutely gorgeous! Maureen has been a tremendous blessing, I cannot wait until the next time!

Maureen has been taking our extended family beach pictures in Hilton Head for the last four vacations. We are always pleased with the quality of her work, ease of communication, and experience with large groups. She and Ashleigh were wonderful getting the little ones to cooperate. We have enjoyed the consistency of seeing Maureen on our annual vacation visits and plan to continue our tradition working with her in the future!

We chose Maureen to take our family photos because of her many positive reviews. We were not disappointed! She arrived on time and was a total professional. We have 3 preschoolers in our family, and she patiently worked with them to get smiles. Our photos turned out great, and I would definitely give her our return business.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHEN SHOULD I CONTACT YOU TO BOOK A SESSION?
With over 25 years of experience photographing families on Hilton Head Island, Maureen’s calendar often fills several months in advance, especially during the summer months and holiday season. She recommends booking one to two months ahead to ensure availability during your preferred travel dates.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT'S RAINING THE DAY OF OUR SESSION?
Maureen recommends beginning with one patterned piece, such as a floral dress or plaid shirt, and coordinating from there with soft, complementary colors. The park is a natural setting, so adding color and texture brings warmth and personality to your images. Choose outfits that feel like you and reflect your family’s natural style.
What should we wear to our session?
Maureen watches the weather closely, and if it looks like it will be rained out, will contact you to see if it would be possible to do your session earlier in the day (assuming it is cloudy). If that doesn’t work, she will reschedule it for a mutually convenient time before you have to leave the island.
Within one week of your session, you will receive an email with the the link to your online gallery where you can view and download your photos as well as select your 11x14 mounted portrait. Your mounted portrait will be delivered within four weeks of your selection.
