Photography By Marion

Our Story

Marion Yarger-Ricketts brings over two decades of experience in professional portrait photography to her clients along the Grand Strand of South Carolina. Her journey began honing her craft at two of the nation's premier portrait studios, where she had the privilege of capturing the essence of people from all walks of life, including prominent figures in television and politics.

Throughout her career, Marion has developed a deep-seated philosophy: to provide the best possible service to every client. She is dedicated to creating an experience that is not just about taking photos, but about capturing the spirit and emotion of each individual and family. Her studio's definition of "portrait photography" transcends mere snapshots. It is about understanding the human form as a work of art and utilizing posing techniques to elevate the subject's natural beauty. This doesn't mean sacrificing spontaneity.

An Artistic Approach to Photography

While Marion is a master of posed portraits, capturing those candid, unguarded moments is equally important to her. She believes that the most compelling images tell a story, revealing the genuine connections and emotions between people. This unique blend of artistry and genuine moments is what sets Marion's photography apart. Beyond technical skill, Marion brings a personal touch to every session. Every client receives a consultation to discuss their vision, ensuring that the final product reflects their unique personality and style.
