“We wanted pix on the beach with our kids and 2 grandkids, and Joyce and HHI Photography were referred to us by several people. We are so glad we chose them because it was an outstanding experience. Joyce was so easy to work with, not only in booking the shoot, but also providing helpful tips to make sure it would be an enjoyable experience. And it was! She and her staff of 2 on the beach were great. They were professional but friendly, and knew just how to connect with the kids, entertaining them, keeping them engaged and smiling throughout the almost 60 minutes. So many thoughtful poses, and more than happy to accommodate any requests. It all went so smoothly that I was surprised when the time was up. We would highly recommend Joyce and HHI Photography to capture your memories for any special occasion.”

“Hilton Head Island Photography took anniversary pictures for my husband and I. It was a very windy day but the pictures all turned out amazing. They had so many great ideas of different styles for the pictures and also let us do anything we wanted as well. The location was perfect and they provided us with lots of photos that are wonderful memories for years to come! Thanks again Mrs. Joyce and Gracie!!!”

“Top notch professionals! I started researching beach photography back in the winter and from our first phone call, I knew this was a company I wanted to invest in. Their pricing listed is very competitive and you get not only a photographer but beach assistants, which is a must for pics with small kids. Their photo spots are beautiful, and they are very accommodating for any poses you want with your family. We had 4 generations in our picture and the team made us feel valued. We will be repeat customers! Thanks for a great experience!!”

“These photographers are AMAZING!! The pictures are beautiful and the photographers are professional, helpful, and fun to work with! They are very efficient and were able to get hundreds of pictures of our family in all different poses and groups during our session. Most impressively, they work really well with kids. We went with a family of 25+ including 13 kids. They worked hard to make sure the kids were happy and looked good in the pictures. We have used this company twice for our family pictures and we could not recommend this company enough for your pictures on Hilton Head.”

“Our experience with Hilton Head Island Photography was amazing. It was better than I ever expected it would be. I was so looking forward to having photos of my entire family during our vacation, and the results were fantastic. We are a group of 8 adults and 4 children, including a toddler and an infant. Amazingly, just about every picture was perfect!

“We had our family pictures done by Hilton Head Island Photography. There was a large group of us. We had such a great experience! They were fast, efficient, and very professional. They were able to get great shots of all 13 of us, including our baby who was not exactly thrilled about being there! The pictures turned out great! The whole process was seamless. Great experience and we will have them take our family pictures again!”

“My family have been vacationing to Hilton Head Island every year for the past 12 years and we love it. We had our family photos taken by Hilton Head Photography and they came out beautifully. The staff was a pleasure to work with and they engaged the children so the experience was enjoyable for all. I was so happy with the quality of the photos and the staff that I had additional family photos taken again this past year. Again, Hilton Head Photography did not disappoint. The photos were excellent as well as the staff. I highly recommend Hilton Head Photography for any occasion.”

“I had a wonderful experience with my Family with Hilton head Island photography. The process between making our appointment to being out on the beach went smoothly.

The pictures turned out so great that we will definitely be doing this again when we are on Hilton head. We cannot thank you enough!!!!”

They listened to what we wanted and then would make great recommendations to improve the experience and finished product. They are the most professional team we have ever had take our picture. They truly enjoy what they do and it shows in the experience we had. When we received the final pictures, they were great. We plan on returning to Hilton Head in the near future and will definitely have our portraits taken there again. I highly recommend them.”

“I got pictures done at school for my son's senior year. They did not turn out. On vacation, I went with Hilton Head Island Photography because I wanted to get him more natural and with the beach and the ocean in the background. I was worried that my 18-year-old would not enjoy the session as boys that age don't. The photographer made it so much fun so that he could relax and be comfortable. The result are beautiful pictures. I could not be happier with the whole experience. I highly recommend them.”

“Hilton Head Photography was such a pleasure to work with! We were part of a large group celebrating a 70th birthday/family reunion, and they beautifully captured the whole family group as well as the spirit of each individual family. Not only were the pictures gorgeous, but we receive them in such a timely manner. Efficient and effective. We were very impressed from executing the large family shots to making the toddlers smile....all the pictures were great! We highly recommend them for anyone wanting to capture that special beach moment.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Hilton Head Island Photography. The ladies were FANTASTIC with our 2 year old and getting her to smile so sweetly for all of the photos. Our pictures are gorgeous and it was a great time! Any time people come to our home and see our photos, they just can't stop complimenting our photos. Every time we look at our pictures we remember what a memorable vacation we had together and smile.”

“This is the second year we have had family pictures taken on the beach in Hilton Head, SC by Hilton Head Photography, Inc. We are repeat customers because our experience was so positive. The staff is friendly and flexible and able to work with children young and old. Our family ranges in age from 18 months to 70 years old, with 23 individuals to catch smiling at once! We were very pleased with the outcome and quantity of photo options to select from. We plan on returning next May to have photos done again! Thank you Hilton Head Photography!”

“I worked as an assistant with Hilton Head Island Photography this past summer and I can confidently say that if Joyce and her team can't snap the shot right when everyone is looking (even the baby!), then no one can. There will always be an assistant there to make sure your hair is just right, the sand is brushed off, and the children are smiling. Joyce is extremely dedicated to the satisfaction of her customers and has plenty of tricks to composing beautiful family portraits. Additionally, if you're looking for a team whose welcoming, friendly, and accommodating, you've come to the right place.”

“What an awesome experience! The folks at Hilton Head Island Photography could not have been nicer and made our photo shoot and review session any easier. We Will be back and certainly will recommend to family and friends! Joyce and her staff are phenomenal!”

From the initial phone call, the picture taking, to getting my pictures, everything was above our expectations. People still compliment the photo we have above the fireplace. I would absolutely recommended to anyone.”

“The photographer was very sweet and lots of fun with my two little boys. My youngest son sometimes feels self-conscious in front of the camera, but they were able to work around this and get his natural smiles. They both loved the little boat. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend.”

“This is our fifth year coming to Hilton Head and the first time doing professional photos. We enjoyed our shoot session very much and were very impressed with the photography crew. We love our pictures too!”

“The photographer met us at a beautiful spot. She did a great job getting our two toddlers to not only look at the camera but also smile while looking (something we have yet to be able to do ourselves!) She was very patient and sweet with them and played with them to get those natural smiles. We love our pictures and recommend to other families with small children.”

“we were from out of state and coordinating the whole thing remotely for 22 people. They were SO helpful every step of the way. You can imagine getting everyone color coordinated and all in one place was hard enough. From there it was a breeze! They were very well organized and made sure everyone looked good. The photos turned out so well. The babies were even smiling. We cannot thank you enough for all your efforts!”

“Our family plans a trip to Hilton Head every summer. It was our second time having family pictures done and we decided to go with this photographer. What a difference from last summer. They didn't just plop us in the sand and say smile. The photographer had a helper to play with our children and the results were amazing!!!!! Everyone made us feel was so comfortable and we really enjoyed it. When I received the pictures I could literally cry they were so sweet. I will definately only use them to capture our family memories. Thank you so much!!!!”

“We booked Joyce and her team to take photos of my terminally ill sister, younger sister, mother and myself. They were professional, caring, gracious, and took great care of my mom and sister including pushing my sister in a sand wheelchair which is a beast to push! The shoot was fun and we happened to be booked at sunset and were treated to the full moon rising! Joyce was able to capture shots of us with the moon in the background! We were extremely happy with her work and cannot wait to see the finished images. We already have a preview on FB! They used a squeaky toy to get my sister to laugh and of course we all giggled. After the shoot one of the team members gave my sister the squeaky toy frog. She has that frog with her 24/7 since the shoot. Priceless!”

“What an excellent experience! Tate and Hannah made our family feel relaxed and cheerful throughout the photography session. My family truly had great time! The pictures Tate took of our family are absolutely amazing and Hannah was so helpful with our son and made all of us feel comfortable and at ease. Thank you Hilton Head Photography! We will cherish our photos for years to come!”

“Had our family of 7 photographed last week and it all went so well. There are some "I hate to have my picture taken" folks among us and the session was so relaxed and friendly that everyone enjoyed the time with our photographer and his assistant. And Joyce was so very helpful and accommodating...thanks for the memories!”

“We had the absolute best experience with Joyce and Gracie! From the initial phone call with Joyce to receiving our finished images, every step was so easy. I had complete confidence she was taking care of everything. She gave very detailed instructions as far as what to do and what not to do, etc.. At the shoot, she knew the right things to say and do to bring the personalities right out of our kids. Every step was organized yet still relaxed. They are totally prepared for challenges that come along with pictures on the beach such as hair in your face, sand, etc… The quality of our images is top of the line. The images are stunning! The most difficult thing has been choosing which images to use for our gallery wall.”

“My family and I really enjoyed our photo session with Grace and Gracie. Very professional and fun too. Made sure to capture everything I requested plus some. Thanks again for getting us in at the last minute”

“They are amazing! Our scheduled photographer broke her wrist, so I called Hilton head island photography on a Tuesday and talked to Joyce. She was able to accommodate us and get us in the next evening! We were married in October and are a blended family. We were disappointed in our wedding photos and I shared this with Joyce, so she surprised us when we got to the shoot with two separate photographers and two assistants. They were incredible and the pictures are BEAUTIFUL! Thank you to Joyce and her team!!”

“Great photography work in a beach setting!”

“I just can’t say enough positive about our experience...it was Wonderful!!! Everyone was so kind and patient...our photos turned out Beautiful! I am sooo thankful we chose Hilton head island photography...you will be too!!!”

“Back in July I got engaged to my lovely fiancé. Every year since we have been together we have gone to Hilton Head for the summer. It has been our favorite place to go to vacation and one we look forward to every summer. When we got engaged we knew right away that we wanted to take professional pictures in Hilton Head on the beach. Joyce and her team made that happen for us and we could not be more thankful and thrilled at how they came out. Our shoot was scheduled towards the end of our trip and of course the night it was scheduled for it started to rain. I was devastated but Joyce was truly fantastic. She told me I could wait out the rain or even come the next night to do pictures but of course it was scheduled to rain the next night.

“Long story short, it continued to rain (drizzle, not down pour) but we took the photos on the beach anyway. I LOVED the way they came out and Joyce and her team were such a pleasure to work with. The fact that her and her team were willing to come out the next night to shoot for us really says it all. Above all that I had sent them pictures of poses and things we wanted to try and she managed to take all of those shots! If I could give Hilton Head Island Photography more than 5 stars I would. Like I said Joyce and her team were truly wonderful to work with! They were so easy to contact and answered all of my thousands of questions I had. They all had the best attitude, they truly cared, and they helped make our engagement photos come to life! Thank you to Joyce and her team!! We couldn't be happier!””

“Fantastic photo shoot with Joyce! She helped us document a very special time with our entire family for our 40th wedding anniversary. Would definitely HIGHLY recommend Joyce for your photo needs!!”

“Joyce and her assistants were fantastic! They were so accommodating for my family as we had a few hurdles and were able to get my kids to laugh and smile! (Which is a difficult task because my 2 yo is clingy). We will definitely make this a family tradition when we come down. Thanks again!”

“What a wonderful time we had with Joyce on our grandsons first birthday! Clarity and precision promote perfect results and Joyce knows how to provide the perfect memory that will last a lifetime”

“Thank you for the perfect session. I booked this for my parents 25th Anniversary gift and my mom was so happy. You all did a great job and we loved the pictures.”

“Samme and Hilton Head Island Photography did an amazing job on our session. She was so easy to work with, we had to move our session due to chilly weather. I was so glad that they were flexible because all our pictures turned out great!”

“My family and I had the opportunity of working with Alicia of Hilton Head Island Photography. She did a wonderful job and made the whole “family portrait process” easy and seamless. Our pictures turned out beautifully and exceeded my expectations.”

“Amazing with children!! – Our photographer & their assistant was so patient with our twin babies. They did everything they could to make each shot perfect and it really showed when we received our pictures, which we thought was very timely for a professional product. We are coming back next year!”

“Nice + Professional staff, Great beach experience & Portraits were beautiful, I will do it again! – From the time that we booked to when we received our portraits, the staff was very nice, professional and accommodating. Our experience on the beach was actually fun! Our family portrairt is now hanging over our mantle and is the focus point in our family room. I wouldn't trade it for anything!”

“Joyce and her team helped me scratch something off my bucket list! It was no easy task we asked of her! Our family of 16 together for our Anniversary, and 8 of them being children, 5 which I might add are 5 yr olds. Joyce made it look so simple! I can’t even begin to explain what this experience meant to us. We have only seen a few pictures so far and they are just magnificent!! I can’t say enough about Joyce and her crew. The professionalism, the way they were able to get all 8 grandchildren to pay attention and smile. Really it was a day I will never forget, and I owe this special memory to Joyce and her crew! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for such an amazing experience!”

“Our family has used Hilton Head Island Photography multiple times starting in 2010. We have young children and they are so wonderful with the girls - we actually have the whole family smiling! The photographers are patient and work to get great pictures of the whole family. The pictures are beautiful each time, and they are wonderful to work with. The pictures will last a lifetime and are worth having talented people to capture the treasured vacation memories. I would most definitely use Hilton Head Island Photography again.”

“I really can't say enough good things about our experience! Our group of 7 included 3 small children, and a little one who just was not having it, but Joyce and her team managed to capture sweet smiles from ALL of our little ones. They were very patient and knew all of the tricks to get some great shots. We got a ton of pictures back and they are all just beautiful. Joyce and her assistants captured moments we will treasure forever”

“Oh my gosh! I just can't say enough about Hilton Head Island Photography. I've used their service for many years now and I would never choose anyone else. They create an atmosphere that allows for the best experience. We came with a big group and they were able to work well with all ages. Our photographer was so great with our kids. Having gone with other photographers in the past, this company is different because of their interaction and professionalism to capture each family member just beautifully”

“We had a party of 26 including small children who were ready for bed. Staff and photographers were excellent in every way. Very organized and professional. Just could not believe the quality of the entire experience for the price. This is the only company you want to call for your beach portraits”

“I contacted Hilton Head Island Photography to take pictures for my fathers's 80th birthday with our extended family. My expectations were exceeded from the very beginning!! They were very responsive with every email, phone call or question that I had. Everything on the front end worked so smoothly and I was never left wondering that we should be doing or thinking about for the pictures. When it was time for the entire family photos, they had a plan and stuck to it! They pulled us all together, made the kids laugh and everything went great!! The results were beautiful pictures of our entire family that we will cherish forever!! Thanks so much Hilton Head Island Photography!!!”
