CITADEL SENIOR PORTRAITS

Your senior year at The Citadel is a milestone unlike any other. Whether it’s a striking portrait in full dress uniform, a quiet moment by the chapel, or relaxed, candid photos celebrating on campus with your family, the goal is to capture the full scope of what you’ve accomplished.

I specialize in photographing graduating cadets, balancing intentional, classic portraiture with real, unscripted moments—and some personality too.

Drawn to light, connection, and meaningful moments

Hi, I’m Amy — a Charleston-based lifestyle and documentary photographer who believes in capturing moments that feel real, meaningful, and true to you.

As a mom of three, I know how fast the milestones fly by—and how important it is to press pause in a way that feels authentic. I specialize in senior portraits, family photography, and personal branding, always looking for the light, the connection, and the in-between moments that tell the bigger story.

Working with Citadel seniors is something I feel deeply honored to do. The strength, pride, and tradition that surrounds those sessions is unlike anything else. Whether it's a quiet moment in uniform by the gates, a photo with proud parents, or a subtle glance that says I did it—those images carry weight. I approach Citadel sessions with deep respect and a genuine desire to preserve not just how it looked, but how it felt.
