Charleston Family & Birth Photographer

Real Moments. Real Memories. 

PHOTOGRAPHING FAMILIES ACROSS CHARLESTON & THE LOWCOUNTRY

From the beaches of Folly and Isle of Palms to the oak-lined paths of James Island and Summerville, I photograph families in all the places that feel like home. Serving Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Johns Island, West Ashley, and more.

I see the love you share. And the reality of life with kids. The laughter, tears, tantrums and everything else in between. 
I passionately believe in making motherhood memorable through photographs and my goal as a photographer is to capture the real, raw and unscripted essence of your family. My sessions are relaxed, playful, and rooted in connection.

Based in Charleston, SC, I am licensed & insured and serve families who want their real life captured in all its beautiful chaos. I would be honored to play a part in telling your story and I can't wait to meet you!

"I cannot sing praises high enough for Melis!" 

She is wonderful and so talented. She has the best presence and works so well with little ones. This is our second shoot with her and I am in awe of the photos!

"Melis was so incredibly warm and welcoming and put us all instantly at ease."

We had so much fun during our shoot, and Melis was an expert at capturing the essence of our family and the personality of each of my children in her photos. She gave gentle guidance on locations and ideas for different shots. An absolute joy to work with !!
