FOR THE LOVERS
Couples
If you haven’t notice by now, I’m kinda obsessed with love. The way we agree to spend forever sharing the same hoodie and negotiating the thermostat temperature! Love is my favorite adventure! I’m obsessed with
shooting golden moments for wild hearted lovers. Invite me over to capture your homemade pizza dough date night, or let’s meet in the park for a romantic picnic, beach bike ride, or a stroll through historic Charleston.

Your family, your legacy, deserves timeless memories to look back on and remember the scared knees from braving skateboard tricks and the grass-stained jeans from slide tackling siblings at the park. All of it is uniquely YOU and all of it deserves to be remembered. So start by booking a laughter filled family session for your tribe!

You deserve a whole dang album! Senior sessions are for past, present, and future YOU! So let’s hog the spotlight, dance in the middle of a cobblestone street in Charleston, meet up at your favorite record store, or play guitar in the middle of the park!
You’re in charge!

FAQ
How do I book you for my wedding/elopement??
At LaVonda Downard Photography I offer intimate wedding and elopement packages! Visit the Weddings + Elopements menu tab!
Feel free to reach out now with any questions or to receive a link to my weddings portfolio gallery!
Will you help coordinate outfit choices?
I am far from a fashionista. I consider my style to be in the category of "Moms at Target in athletic apparel"; but I am glad to help in any way I can. Currently I have a Pinterest inspo board that my clients may request access to after booking their session. If you are just nervous or want some tips feel free to shoot me a photos of your outfits or ideas.
Can I extend the length of my session?
I have years of experience in shooting sessions with all types of clients. My session times take into account best lighting time frames, time allotted for an ample amount of photos and leave room to shake out those in front of the camera jitters with a few small breaks for the kiddos. At this time session time frames cannot be extended . If you have questions regarding outfit changes or locations please inquire.
Does my session have to be paid in full to secure my date?
In order to secure your date, you will need to pay a 50% retainer fee. Your remaining balance is due 48 hours prior to your session date.
Do I have to order prints through you?
You do not have to order your prints directly through me. I will leave you with a list of preferred printing retailers when your gallery is delivered.
What locations do you shoot at?
Heck yes! I'm a travel photographer and would love to meet up with you in the wild! A majority of my sessions take place in the Lowcountry - Charleston, SC and surrounding areas! I am happy to travel. I am often in GA, NC, and Ohio throughout the year! Please see my Instagram for travel announcements or feel free to send me a message with your dates and the type of session you would like.
Do you offer creative solo sessions?
Yes! I categorize these as 'model sessions' and they start at $175. I am happy to chat via email or do a video consultation to discuss how we can collaborate to support your creative vision!
