Your Questions, Answered

  • I’m based in the Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island area of South Carolina, and I photograph families, children, pets, and small weddings throughout the Grand Strand. I also travel to Murrells Inlet, Surfside Beach, Garden City, and surrounding coastal locations.

    In the summertime (typically July), I also offer sessions in Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, NY.

  • Alice Vera Photography focuses on family portraits, children’s photography, pet portraits, branding sessions, and a very limited number of intimate weddings. With more than 30 years of experience, I create warm, natural, emotionally genuine images that feel true to who you are.

  • We combine a thoughtful, human-centered approach with clear communication and reliable results. It’s not just what we do—it’s how we do it that sets us apart.

  • Most sessions take place outdoors in beautiful natural light — beaches, parks, gardens, or meaningful locations to your family. I also offer in‑home sessions for babies, pets, or families who prefer a cozy, familiar setting.

  • Family and children’s sessions usually last 45–60 minutes. This gives kids time to warm up, explore, and relax so their real personalities shine through. Pet sessions vary depending on your animal’s comfort level — I always allow extra time for them to settle in.

  • Collaborative, honest, and straightforward. We're here to guide the process, bring ideas to the table, and keep things moving.
