Memory Lane Portraits is a Hilton Head photography studio whose gallery is at Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina, where clients come for consultations and to choose their prints. The sessions themselves are on location: family beach portraits at sunrise or sunset, weddings and engagements, senior portraits, business headshots and events.
How a Beach Session Works
A family session runs up to about an hour, and 90 minutes for a group of thirty or more, usually early in the morning or in the evening light. Favourite spots include the Sea Pines Beach Club beach, the oak avenue at Six Oaks Cemetery, Tower Beach and clients’ own rental houses. The owner shoots most sessions with a small team, will move a shoot when the weather turns, and delivers retouched digital files in two to three weeks, with prints, wall art and albums after that. Some wedding and reunion dates book two years out, but last-minute sessions are taken when there is room.
