I recently had the wonderful opportunity to shoot an on location campaign in Charleston, South Carolina for Smith & Quinn's Summer 2025 Collection: A Seaside Escape. Charleston was so, so charming and I loved all the historic, European-inspired architecture. As much as I enjoy a good studio shoot, working on location truly can't be beat in how it enhances the story behind the clothing.
We shot a mix of sport and ready-to-wear looks, and I loved getting to shoot in my favorite way: minimal gear, natural light, just walking around a beautiful place and finding the best little backdrop corners to get the most variety we can. And of course stopping here and there to snack on local eats ;)
Special thank you to all the residents and small businesses who were so welcoming and let us shoot in their stores, with their cars and bikes, and more!
Enjoy these snippets of the Summer 2025 Collection, and take a look at the Americana Collection for High Summer here!
