Where I shoot · Pawleys Island, SC

Pawleys Island photographer.

Pawleys Island likes to call itself "arrogantly shabby," and that's the appeal: quiet beaches, weathered beach houses, the marsh on the back side of the island, and none of the high-rises up the road.

Places to shoot.

The beach on the island

Calm, uncrowded sand with dunes and old beach houses behind, for families and maternity sessions that feel unhurried.

The marsh side

Creeks, docks and marsh grass on the back of the island, glowing at sunset.

Litchfield and the causeways

More quiet beach just north, and the causeways over the marsh for wide views.

Pawleys Island is a little further from Myrtle Beach, so check the travel terms on the pricing page for your kind of session.
