As mothers, it’s safe to say that some of our most treasured possessions are family photographs. New babies, family milestones, special achievements, momentous occasions: we love the opportunity to beautifully capture these memories. There is nothing quite like the feeling you get when looking back on the photos of your squishy newborn, or that first picture of your new family. It is our hope that this resource will make it easier to find the perfect photographer to capture the memories you make. We hope you enjoy working with them as much as we do!

I’m a CANDID lifestyle photographer. I have been photographing families in downtown Charleston, the IOP, Kiawah Island, and Folly Beach for 15 years. My portrait sittings start out posed and get more candid at the end. I like to start with the whole group together then groupings and individual portraits. Prints and high-resolution files available.

Hello! I’m Alisha of Alisha Cory Photography.
I am located in Mount Pleasant, SC and serve the greater Charleston area. My clients are able to choose from a wide array of photographic specialties such as:
- Newborn Studio Fine Art & Lifestyle Portraits
- Birth Story Videography & Imagery
- Underwater, Studio, and On-location Maternity Portraits
- Cake Smash Celebrations
- Senior Portraits
- Family Sessions
As well as being a professional photographer, I’ve been happily married over 20 years and blessed to be the mother of four amazing young men. Rest assured, whatever reservations you might have about scheduling professional portraits, I’ve lived and breathed the planning anxiety and ensuing chaos of kids being kids at a photoshoot. As your photographer, it is my mission to make your professional photoshoot an easy, fun, and beautiful experience.
Just remember…it is always worth the time, energy, and money to regularly have professional portraits of your family captured. I promise.
Reach out and let’s start planning the session of your dreams!

I have had the abundant pleasure of photographing families living in the Charleston Area and families on vacation in our beautiful city and beaches for going on twenty years! I LOVE what I do and with this level of experience, plus knowing the amazing feeling of being in the lives of so many families and documenting them grow and change for years, is both an honor and humbling to me. I have had the pleasure of being the preferred photographer for over ten years at Wild Dunes Resort and had established a company just for Wild Dunes which I held for many years.
My style is fresh, fun, candid, and timeless! You will expect to see images that reflect your family’s love and unique spirit in both relaxed, casual posted shots and silly, candid ones as well. Getting to know you before the session helps to ensure we have all the information we need to create the perfect experience. We begin with a phone consultation so I can learn about your family. We talk about clothing choices, location ideas, and how you like to decorate in your home to then get you thinking about where you will display some of your beautiful family portraits.
My offerings include archival canvases, matted and framed photographic prints, and albums. Digital files for sharing are offered as well as some fun “unique” specialty items gifted to clients with different levels of investment. I believe that your amazing family photos should be displayed in your home to show the love you have for your most precious works of art! Your family. So let the artwork on your walls speak for the love found within your home. Capturing, forever, the moments that are gone in a FLASH!
Love is the highest form of art!

I am a Maternity & Newborn Fine-Art portrait photographer and I am completely obsessed with capturing what is easily one of the most special moments in a person’s life. The time in which we are planning for and welcoming a new baby to our expanding family is short-lived, but together we can preserve these most valued moments forever. Aside from creating beautiful portraits, I love every moment I spend with my new and expecting moms! We have laughed together and we have cried together – tears of joy and tears of complete exhaustion and being overwhelmed. I get it! And I am here for you – not just to give you amazing images you will love forever, but to laugh and cry with you along your journey because it’s HARD. It takes a village, and I will be part of your village. Xo, Brooke
