Our Favorite Place of the Month

Folly Beach

I have not been back to the folly beach area since the bad storms last fall. I understand it suffered from a lot of beach erosion. However, my favorite place to eat there is Taco Boy. I can't go near the place without stopping for some of the best tacos in this world.

How Best to Prepare for your Portrait Session

Considering what to wear - you want to consider both age and personality. Solid colors almost always work best. Covering as much of the arm as possible is usually a benefit as well. Don't forget to try on all your choices ahead of time.
Bring several changes of clothes, we like to help out as much as possible, and can help choose the most flattering cuts and colors.
Bring personal items that have special meaning or highlight the occasion, such as musical instruments, special hat or shawl.
Choose a time and day that takes into account your families schedule and allow plenty of time prior for preparations. You want to arrive for your session relaxed and ready.
Browse our site, magazines or other books. Bring us any ideas you might have. We can recreate any look. During your session, we will try a variety of poses and lighting effects to create both classic and contemporary looks.

A little planning and prep time can help your portraits look their very best. Please remember we are here to help, so if you have any questions, call us! (843) 871-7340

A Small Bit about Copyrights

Copyright is a property right. Under the Federal Copyright Act of 1976 (effective January 1, 1978 and amended when the USA joined the Berne Convention in 1989), photographs are protected by copyright from the moment of creation.

Hope Haven Photography has NEVER sold the copyright of any image. We do sell licenses for specific uses, however when we sell a print of image, you are NOT allowed to copy it in any way, for any use. Sorry folks, not even for Facebook; however, we will prepare a digital image for Facebook use at no charge.

If you have already purchased the image in some form or another, we will create for you a low-resolution (not print ready) and water marked (protects image from being stolen by thief's) and post it to Facebook for your sharing purposes. Aren't we nice?

We are members of the PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and they are fantastic watch dogs for the rights of photographers.
