It's not all about the posed for me-- I love capturing those raw moments, the way your hand brushes your child's hair, your smile as you see your daughter doing something sweet, how your loved one looks at you when you say something funny..

Whether it be the baby growing in your belly, that sweet newborn in your home, the love between you and your person....I want to capture it all!


Hi, I’m Sydney — the salty-haired, sentimental soul behind Moody Momma.

I’m a mom of three, a lover of real-life moments, and someone who always says “just one more photo” (and never means it). After years of photographing weddings and families in Northern Virginia, my family packed up and moved to Myrtle Beach — and now I get to tell stories up and down the Carolina coast.

I specialize in documenting the stuff that makes your heart skip — the sandy toddler hugs, windswept kisses, first looks that leave you breathless, and the in-between moments you never want to forget.

Now booking in Myrtle Beach, Charleston, and back in Northern Virginia (DMV) throughout the year., who am I kidding, im there at least once a month!  Whether you're getting married under the Spanish moss, running barefoot down the beach, or snuggling up at home with your new babe — I’m here to turn your chaos into art.
