They took the time to get to know us ahead of time and kept in touch along the way. On our wedding day they were organized, thoughtful, and the calming energy we needed! We are OBSESSED with the photos! They captured us and our personalities so well! And of course all the details! We're so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with them and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for wedding photographers!

just now New Laura…read moreand Rachel are the absolute best! They made my engagement so special and made both my girlfriend and I feel so good during pictures! From the moment I found their website, I knew they would be perfect. Communication was always easy and they did a great job helping me plan a complete surprise engagement. They helped set up a special picnic after we got our photos done and my girlfriend loved it! The turnaround time to receive our pictures was VERY quick as well! We recommend Laura and Rachel to anyone who wants amazing pictures and to feel great on their special day!

I was happy with my professional headshot session from beginning to end. I completed their online…read moreform and received an email response promptly. They asked about my availability and recommended a gray background unless I had something else in mind. I scheduled my appointment for a morning session at their studio, which has its own small parking lot. My session was 40 minutes, including time afterward to select the pose I wanted. I appreciated the dressing room to fix my makeup and hair before the session. They had some hairspray, tissues, and hand lotion in the room. My photographer, Trevor, was friendly and professional and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. He gave me great directions and helped me select the best pose. During COVID, he and other staff had masks on. The total cost was $150. I will receive a high-resolution image for printing and a low-resolution image for screens/internet by email. I can't wait! I've never had a professional headshot taken and I wish I'd done it sooner. I would not hesitate to consider this studio if you want a professional experience and product.

We just found out that our Corgi has lymphoma. Before he passes, we wanted to get some nice family…read morephotos to remember him by. We paid a family friend to take photos and I am truly sad that I actually paid for those. So I asked around for a professional photographer with a studio, as our youngest pup isn't fully vaccinated, and that was good with pets. Based off recommendations from friends, I emailed four photographers in the area and Tourine from Johnstone Studios was one of the first to respond in a timely manner. Due to the time constant, we didn't do the complimentary consultation, but just made an appointment for the photos on a Sunday afternoon of that week. She did ask what breeds of dogs they were, to make sure she'd have the correct background color ready. We showed up 15 minutes early and she met us at the door. Tourine was warm and welcoming to both us and the pups. Johnstone Studios is beautifully set up, both welcoming and professionally decorated.We went upstairs to a studio with hard wood floors and she went to work. She was extremely kind to the pups and knew how to keep their attention. Tourine had a great energy and the dogs fed off of that. I could tell that Tourine has experience with working with dogs, as she waved treats, talked to them, jumped around and used a train whistle to see what they responded to best. Our Crogi is a ham and loves to take pictures, but our new golden doodle has no concept of what's going on, so getting him to look in the right direction was taxing. After she was done, she checked with us to see if we had time to view the photos in their viewing room, or if we needed to go home for the dogs. They were both doing well, so we stayed to view our photos. Not only did she get a few beautiful pictures of our ailing Corgi, but pictures of the dogs together and one of the four of us. Everyone was looking, beautifully positioned and I will treasure these photos for years to come! Down stairs in their viewing room, we went through the photos on a big screen tv. We picked a package that gave us three of the photos we choose retouched and the digital rights for a very competitive price. My husband also ordered an Urban picture collage of our three pictures. Tourine was extremely low pressure when it came to selling additional add ons and even offered to leave the room so we could talk our choices over. Our digital prints came over retouched in three days and the photo collage we ordered should be here within a month or so. I am so happy with our family photos! Tourine did a great job and Johnstone Studios will be our new place for yearly family photos!

We ventured out to Hilton Head Island from the west coast with my husband's family (our first time)…read moreand decided to gift the grandparents a family photoshoot (10 of us in total - 2 grandparents, 4 parents, 4 children between ages 3-8). 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!

As soon as we left our meeting, we knew we wanted to use them. Just talking to April and Jared was so easy, loved their work and their personality. As soon as we got home, we booked them and cancelled our other upcoming meetings with other photographers. They were a blast to work with. They were professional, on time, and easy going. They had no problem doing anything we requested, but of course had plenty of great suggestions for us. They also had no problem getting pictures when our family or guests requested one. The only tough thing was to wait 3 months to get our pictures! It was well worth being patient though, such great photographs to give us a memory of such a wonderful day. Book them both, the best in Charleston!

They may not advertise it on their site, but they are wonderful with kids and family photos as well, so please do not pass on them if you are looking for a family photographer. They are ALWAYS so kind and patient, we have a (3 and 5 year old) so you can imagine how that might go, and still incredible sweet pics of us and our kids. Absolutely love them and cannot express how grateful we are for everything they have done for us.
