ABOUT AMY


Hi, I am Amy Stevens.


I'm a photographer local to Folly Beach and Charleston, South Carolina. I specialize in portrait and lifestyle photography and I capture the essence of the low country with my landscape images. I've been shooting professionally since 2010 and will graduate from Trident Technical College in August 2024 with my AAS in Commercial Graphics for Photography. I received my Master's degree in Education from the College of William and Mary and my Bachelor of Art's in English from Colorado College. My background in photography and English make me an excellent visual storyteller. My background in teaching helps me easily guide clients and put them at ease in front of the camera.

My work has been published in the Post and Courier, My Charleston Magazine, and my work has been featured in the 2019 edition of Waterway Explorer, the official waterway guide magazine.

Fun Facts:

I live a mile from Folly Beach with my husband of 26 years, better known as "Captain Johnny." We have two amazing kids (Just ask us!) who are creative and who love to be on the water. We own a premier sailing and power boat charter business called Sail Folly. As local small business owners, our relationships and reputation with clients are important to us.

Family Portraits by Amy Stevens Photography, Charleston and Folly Beach photographer.

Amy did such an amazing job with our family pictures! To this day I still stare at the ones I've got in frames in the house and can't wait for our next photo shoot! From her ability to capture all our smiles to the editing of the final pictures...she did it all just perfectly!!!

Family Black and White Beach Photography by Folly Beach and Charleston Photographer, Amy Stevens.

Amy is not only one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with, but her heart is as beautiful as her work! She has a God-given talent to connect with you fast and it was a fabulous shoot on the beach. She took a bucket list item (family pics on a beach vacation) and turned it into the most breathtaking moments I will cherish my whole life. My girls had so much fun and you can see it in all our pictures. Thank you Amy!!

Outdoor Headshot by Charleston and Folly Beach Photographer, Amy Stevens.

Wow, just wow!! Amy did a phenomenal job with my pictures. I am not comfortable at all in front of the camera. Amy not only made me comfortable, she guided me through posing, and made me laugh in the process. The natural light she uses is so beautiful. I knew Amy's photography skills were going to impress me, but she actually far exceeded my expectations! Can't wait for our family session later this summer! Fantastic work Amy, thank you so much!

Senior Portrait by Folly Beach and Charleston Photographer, Amy Stevens

Amy Stevens is an extremely gifted photographer! She took pictures of our senior & I cannot begin to put into words what Amy did for our daughter’s outlook. Our daughter was so nervous at first, but Amy put her at ease with her kind words and gentle spirit. We are so grateful that Amy was able to take so many pictures even while keeping our ‘social distance’. You would never know how far apart they were by looking at the photos. I am not sure how we will ever choose our favorites! Thank you Amy!

Engagement Photos Aboard Sail Folly Catamaran by Folly Beach Photographer, Amy Stevens

Amy captured the perfect moments leading up to and during the best night of my life - the night my beautiful bride-to-be said yes!! Thank you so much for being a part of our night and for capturing amazing pictures of that night! We will always remember it.

Child Portrait by Family Photographer, Amy Stevens, Charleston and Folly Beach Photographer

What a great photographer! Amy is such a good storyteller and truly able to capture the personality of my two boys, ages 4 and 6 in her work. She is so easy to work with and our family pictures turned out amazing! Can't wait to have her take another round of photos sometime soon.
