I’m a South Carolina photographer who loves documenting real life, meaningful moments, and everything in between. I approach each session with a relaxed, thoughtful style, blending natural moments with light direction to create images that feel comfortable and authentic. My goal is to create images that feel timeless, honest, and true to you.

Honestly, I couldn’t have picked a better photographer to capture my Maternity Photo Shoot. Summer was recommended to me, and I completely see why. Besides being super talented, she is patient, and really goes that extra mile to getting the perfect shot; even if it’s just fixing/adjusting that one piece of hair. Her super, friendly personality helped make the photo shoot much more enjoyable! Thanks girl!

For my very first time scheduling a couples photoshoot, this was an extreme breeze. This wonderful and professional photographer, Summer Hopkins, makes sure that she includes you throughout the planning process of the photoshoot every step of the way. She is very responsive and helpful with any questions or concerns that you have, and comes to be very resourceful when it comes to finding hair and makeup locations when it's needed. From the day of our photoshoot, she was very creative and thinks out side of the box when it comes to poses, angles, and surrounding setting. I really enjoyed how comfortable and happy she made me and my boyfriend feel, truly it did not feel like a photoshoot, but a good time! Definitely recommend this photographer for any kinds of shoots, she truly has a wonderful touch of creativity and a big heart for her clients and photography!

Summer is a phenomenal photographer. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her on 3 occasions as of now. She captured memories of 3 highly important milestones in my life: maternity, 1/2 birthday shoot, and 1 year birthday shoot. My daughter was not cooperative on her photoshoots, and while I was mentally preparing myself for the photos to not be exactly what I imagined due to that, Summer blew me away with her ability to still capture beautiful shots. She never ceases to amaze me or go above and beyond to accommodate and exceed all expectations. 10/10 recommend. I look forward to having her as my photographer for life. Book her. You won’t regret it!
