CATIE CLEVELAND PHOTOGRAPHY

Beach portraits are timeless for so many reasons. Besides the obvious beautiful backdrop it creates, it is also the perfect place for kids and adults to let loose. I always encourage my clients to bring things to play with as keeping active helps make for fun candid photos. I would love to photograph a family surf session sometime so please let me know if you are interested! I am local and licensed to photograph on Isle of Palms, South Carolina.
I met Roslyn at Fort Warden, the same place I had photographed her sister's senior session a few years back - https://www.catiesphotography.com/post/art-and-dance-senior-session. It is a special place for their family and such a cool location for photography. Working here with the lovely and adventurous Rosyln felt very much like a commercial fashion shoot. Lots of different looks, locations, movements and even a bold dip in the water at the end!

Some would say that these two forms of photography can not go together. Photojournalism is telling a story while portraits are a deliberate interpretation of a subject. However I have never seen myself as one or the other type of photographer. Yes, my photography sessions are planned and the focus is making beautiful pictures, but I also strive to capture the interactions behind the scenes which make a unique and true story of my clients. These are always my favorites, but I know that there is also great value in tradition too.
