What clients are saying

"Dedicated and talented"

Amy is such a dedicated and talented photographer! She gives clear direction and knows how to pose you in the most flattering ways. She’s quick to return photos and it’s hard to pick favorites because there are always so many good ones! A true artist. -Kala

"Truly an artist- not just a photographer!"

We are incredibly happy with the photoshoot and the final images. Amy managed to capture the essence of each family member and highlight our unique dynamics. She brings a high-quality, personal touch to her work and is truly an artist, not just a photographer. - Karla

"Best experience of my life"

This was the best experience in my life. This is the first pictures I ever took and I am so glad I choose Pink Chair. I wanted to do something fun with my daughter but I have always been insecure about taking pictures of myself. I expressed my concerns and she encouraged me to come in and I am glad I did. -Lisa

"....Exemplary selection of creativity..."

What she brings to the table is an exemplary selection of creativity that touches the heart…top recommendation!! Thanks so much, Amy! Big hugs! Tim and Alina

My studio location

My commercial studio is located at 1316 Rutledge Avenue, near downtown Charleston- just 4 minutes from Hampton Park and The Citadel. My home studio is located in Goose Creek near the Charleston Naval Weapons station. The commercial studio on Rutledge is also known as the Rutledge Avenue Business complex, which resembles a white church, with free parking available across from the former Rutledge Cab Company restaurant. The building is handicap accessible and offers restrooms and a comfortable waiting area. Pink Chair Photography is a safe and inclusive space for everyone.
