Whether you're a local family or visiting the Charleston area on vacation, a family photography session is the perfect way to preserve the moments that matter most. At Selena Stoney Photography, I specialize in creating timeless, joy-filled portraits that capture the genuine love and connection your family shares.
Charleston, South Carolina offers some of the most beautiful backdrops for family photos, from the cobblestone streets and historic architecture of Downtown Charleston to the sandy shores of Folly Beach, Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, and Kiawah Island. Whether you're celebrating a family vacation, documenting a growing family, planning a multigenerational gathering, or simply updating your annual family portraits, I'll help create a relaxed, enjoyable experience with images you'll treasure for years to come.
Custom family photography packages are available for immediate families, extended family sessions, vacationing families, and milestone celebrations throughout Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry.
Maternity sessions are the perfect opportunity to focus on you and your growing bump. I offer both in-studio, high-end luxury sessions and on-location sessions that beautifully capture both the stunning scenery and your expanding family. With a full collection of gowns available for you to wear during your session, you’ll feel pampered and gorgeous. Maternity sessions are typically scheduled between 32-36 weeks for the best results.
In-hospital photos (also known as Fresh 48 sessions) are a beautiful, documentary-style way to capture those precious first moments with your new baby. Typically done the day after delivery, these sessions capture the raw emotions of siblings meeting their new sibling, as well as the first few hours of Mom and Dad settling into their new roles. I offer Fresh 48 sessions at all local hospitals, including Roper, St. Francis, East Cooper, MUSC, Charleston Birth Place, and more.
At Selena Stoney Photography, I offer two beautiful ways to capture your baby's first days. Newborn sessions are available either in my private home studio in West Ashley, SC, where I specialize in custom, fine art, posed newborn photography with a strong emphasis on safety, or in the comfort of your own home with a relaxed, lifestyle newborn session.
Studio sessions are perfect for families who love timeless, classic portraits or custom-themed setups. With over 15 years of experience, I take pride in creating those beautifully posed newborn images that should only be attempted by a trained, experienced professional.
For families who prefer a more natural, storytelling approach, my in-home lifestyle newborn sessions capture the genuine connection between your family in the place where your newest chapter begins. These sessions focus on authentic moments, cuddles, and the beauty of everyday life with your new baby, creating heartfelt images that reflect your family's unique story.
