After culling through several reviews of photographers in the area, we e-mailed Kate - she was so responsive right from the start even before we decided to commit, and it was no different after. She's so kind and easy to work with, and so knowledgeable about the HH area. We met Kate at the beach at dusk on photoshoot day and everyone took to her right away - she was so efficient, and knew exactly what kind of shots she wanted to capture, and at the end was happy to accommodate requests. We are so happy with the results and highly recommend Kate's work!

Unfortunately, our experience with Island Life HH Photography was very disappointing from start to…read morefinish. We hired the company for a large family beach photo session while vacationing in Hilton Head and made a significant investment expecting professional guidance and high-quality images. While the photographer was friendly, it became clear during the session that she had very limited experience. There was little direction for posing, arranging a large family group, or creating natural interactions, leaving us feeling unsure of what to do throughout the session. When we received the gallery, many of the images lacked the quality and composition we would expect from a professional photography service. What was most disappointing, however, was the complete lack of customer service afterward. I sent a detailed, respectful email outlining our concerns and requesting a discussion about our experience, but I never received any response from anyone on the team. We regularly invest in professional family photography both at home and while traveling, and this was one of the most disappointing experiences we've had. Based on the quality of the photos and the lack of follow-up, I would not recommend this company.

We were due on June 30 but Kellyta was going to be out of the country for a month starting in July. I was little disappointed and was about to give up on the idea on doing a newborn photo since all the other places I contacted were too expensive or I didn't like the photography style. Luckily our girl decided to come early and I contacted Kellyta right away to schedule a session with her. We arrived at Kellyta's home for the shoot. She got so many props to select from and really listen to what we want. Throughout the shoot she will show us the pictures to see if we like them. She was very patience with our daughter and allow us time to feed her when she got hungry half way through the shoot. Kellyta sent us the pictures for selections and even completed the editing while she was on vacation. We got our final cd few weeks ago and we were really happy with her work. We highly recommend her and her price is very reasonable. Thank you Kellyta for capturing our daughter's newborn moment.

Maureen has lived in the Lowcountry of South Carolina for more than 20 years and specializes in family portrait photography on the beaches and sand dunes of this popular vacation spot. She has a relaxed and welcoming personality that is the perfect fit for a professional photographer. Our entire family enjoyed working with this gregarious professional. Armed with a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera, Maureen is a pro at harnessing the most attractive natural lighting just after sunrise and just before sunset to produce beautiful family portraits near the ocean's surf. Our session was shot on a Tuesday evening in the golden hour just before sunset. We were thrilled with our photos, conveniently provided to us on a USB flash drive, at a very reasonable and competitive price. We're excited to now have the perfect family shot for our next Christmas card. I'd recommend that you book your session with Maureen Snyder as far in advance as possible as her time slots can fill quickly as vacationing continues to accelerate on the Island. Five big stars for a true professional and a very enjoyable experience. Say "Cheese"...Highly recommended.
