SDS Creative Co. · Charleston, West Virginia

Find your session

Swimwear, boudoir, and creative portrait photography shaped around your style, your comfort, and the images you want to make.

Take a look at the three experiences below. Each one starts with a conversation, so you can ask questions and share an idea before planning a date.

THREE WAYS TO MAKE IT YOURS

The experience starts with you.

You don't need to arrive knowing how to pose. We'll talk through the look and feel you want. Then build the session around it. I'll give direction throughout the shoot while leaving room for the moments that happen naturally.

01 / Swimwear

Swim Sessions

$300 · Up to 90 minutes · Up to two looks · Edited digital gallery included

Swimwear photography with a confident, editorial feel. A session can be clean and simple or more expressive, with the wardrobe, setting, and mood planned around you.

Whether this is your first time in front of the camera or you have a specific look in mind, we’ll make photographs that feel strong and unmistakably yours.

Studio and location options are chosen during planning.
