Authentic, Emotive Photography in the DMV, Myrtle Beach & Charleston

Capturing the nostalgia, chaos, and magic of your story — from beachside families to Lowcountry “I do’s.

Hey, I’m Sydney — the eyes (and heart) behind Moody Momma. I specialize in storytelling photography for couples and families who want more than stiff poses. After years of documenting families and weddings in Northern Virginia and the DMV, my crew and I relocated to the coast. Now based in Myrtle Beach, I also serve Charleston and frequently travel back to NOVA for sessions and events. I’ve never felt more inspired by light, movement, and salty ocean air. Whether you’re wrangling sandy toddlers at sunrise, planning a backyard wedding, or just want the fleeting stuff captured forever — I’m here for the real, raw, beautifully imperfect magic of your story.

Let’s create something magical together in Northern Virginia, Myrtle Beach, Charleston, or wherever your story unfolds!  Click the links for info on sessions in Myrtle Beach and Charleston

"Sydney is the BEST!!! We had such a great experience with her shooting our maternity pIctures, “fresh 48” and newborn pictures of our baby Skye. She was very patient with us through the several nursing sessions and diaper changes or anything else we needed to soothe our little one during the photo shoot. She brought props to the newborn session that added a nice touch. But most importantly, she works magic with her camera!"


"Our experience was amazing! It just felt perfect!"

"she works magic with her camera!"
