Do you personally photograph every session?

Yes. I photograph every portrait session personally from start to finish, with no associates. On weddings, my wife Natallia photographs alongside me to capture every angle of the day.

When is the best time of year for photos in Myrtle Beach?

I photograph year round in Myrtle Beach. Summer is the busiest season, when thousands of families visit the Grand Strand on vacation and book beach portraits, with sessions timed around golden hour for the best light. Spring and fall offer quieter beaches, and winter sessions have a beautiful, moody coastal quality. Summer dates fill up months in advance, so early booking is recommended.

How do I book a session with you?

Submit an inquiry through the contact form at pashabelman.com and tell me what type of session you have in mind. I will confirm availability and walk you through everything from there. A deposit is required to secure your date.

Myrtle Beach Photographers for Families, Weddings, and Seniors

Hi, I'm Pasha. For more than 15 years I have photographed the families, couples, and seniors of Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand. Everything I shoot happens on location, on the beach at sunrise, in the golden hour before sunset, at the venues and gardens this coast is known for. Every gallery is delivered in 2 to 3 days.

My wife Natallia photographs weddings alongside me. Every other session, I photograph personally from start to finish. No associates, no handoffs. Whether you live here or you're visiting the South Carolina coast, I photograph throughout Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, and beyond. Wherever you want your session to happen, I'll be there.

Why Families Keep Coming Back

I built this business one session at a time, and it shows in the work. More than 250 families, couples, and seniors have left five star Google reviews. My wedding photography has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings. And after 500 plus family sessions on this coast, I know exactly where the light falls at 7pm in June on Pawleys Island and which stretch of beach in Garden City stays quiet on a Saturday morning.

That local knowledge is the difference. Anyone can own a camera. Knowing this coastline, its light, its tides, and its seasons is what turns a beach photo into a portrait your family will print, frame, and hand down. Whether you're local or visiting Myrtle Beach for the week, your session is built around the best light this coast has to offer.

Family sessions are the heart of what I do. Whether you live here or you're visiting Myrtle Beach on vacation, I photograph relaxed, natural sessions timed to the softest coastal light.

Beach Ceremonies | Full Wedding Days | Martha Stewart Weddings

Natallia and I photograph weddings together across the Grand Strand, from intimate beach ceremonies to full celebration days at the coast's most loved venues. Our wedding work is editorial, honest, and built on real connection with every couple. It's the same approach that earned a feature in Martha Stewart Weddings.

Engagements

Engagement Sessions

Golden Hour | Coastal Locations | Relaxed Direction

The couples I photograph tell me their engagement session is when they finally relaxed in front of a camera. That's the goal. Beautiful coastal light, a little direction from me, and photos that actually feel like the two of you.

Senior Portraits

Class of 2027 | Beach and Garden Locations | Styled Around You

Senior sessions should feel like the senior, not a template. I style each session around the graduate, their personality, and the locations that fit them, from the beach to the gardens and historic corners of the Grand Strand. Graduating seniors travel from across the country for these sessions.

Sessions That Feel Like a Walk on the Beach

How a Session
with me Works.

From your first inquiry to a finished gallery in your inbox, working with me is simple and personal. I plan everything around the best light on the Grand Strand and deliver your gallery in 2 to 3 days. You show up. I handle the rest.

Most families tell me it felt more like a walk on the beach than a photo shoot. That is exactly the point.

After 15 years photographing this coast, I know which beach access stays quiet, where the Spanish moss catches the evening light, and exactly when the sun sets over every stretch of the Grand Strand. Here is how it works, in four simple steps.

01

Send Your Inquiry

Tell me your dates and the kind of session you have in mind: a family beach session, a wedding, senior portraits, an engagement, or headshots. I answer every inquiry personally, usually the same day. If you're visiting Myrtle Beach on vacation, send your travel week and I'll build the session around your trip.

02

We Plan Everything Together

We pick a location and a time built around the softest coastal light, and I walk you through what to wear, where to park, and what to expect. Nothing is left to guesswork, whether you live here or you're planning your session from out of state.

03

Relax, I Handle Session Day

On session day your only job is to show up. I handle the posing, the timing, the light, and yes, the toddlers who would rather chase seagulls. Every session is relaxed and natural, guided just enough that everyone knows what to do while the real moments happen on their own.

04

Your Gallery in 2 to 3 Days

Within 2 to 3 days your complete gallery of professionally edited, high resolution images arrives in your inbox. Every image is individually edited and delivered through a private online gallery where you can download everything, share with family, and order prints. Vacationing families often have their photos before they've even packed to go home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Working With Me

Everything you need to know about booking a session with me, from how I work to when to reach out. If your question isn't here, just ask.

I photograph family beach portraits, weddings, high school senior portraits, engagement sessions, and professional headshots. Every session happens on location, so your images are made in the settings that make the Grand Strand special: the beach at sunrise or sunset, historic waterfronts, and the natural backdrops this coast is known for.

I photograph on location across Myrtle Beach and the entire Grand Strand, including North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, Litchfield, and Georgetown. Favorite spots include the beach at golden hour, Myrtle Beach State Park, Huntington Beach State Park, and the Spanish moss backdrops near Pawleys Island. Once you book, I'll help you choose the perfect location for your session.

I offer several session options designed to fit different needs, from portrait sessions to full wedding collections. Myrtle Beach family photography prices vary by session length and group size, and wedding, senior, and headshot options are just as flexible. Reach out through my contact form and I'll walk you through the options and help you find the right fit.

Yes. I photograph every portrait session personally from start to finish. There are no associates and no surprises on session day. When you book Pasha Belman Photography, you're booking me directly, the same photographer behind every image in the portfolio, the 250 plus five star Google reviews, and the Martha Stewart Weddings feature. On weddings, my wife Natallia photographs alongside me to capture every angle of your day.

Your fully edited, high resolution portrait gallery is delivered within 2 to 3 days of your session, one of the fastest turnaround times among Myrtle Beach photographers. Every image is individually edited and delivered through a private online gallery where you can download, share, and order prints directly. Wedding galleries take a little longer due to the volume of images, and I'll give you an exact timeline when you book.

Every season along the Grand Strand has its own beauty, and I photograph year round. Summer is my busiest season, when thousands of families visit Myrtle Beach on vacation and book their beach portraits with me, so summer sessions are timed around golden hour for the most flattering light. Spring and fall bring softer temperatures and quieter beaches, and winter sessions have a beautiful, moody quality along the coast. Summer dates fill up months in advance, so early booking is always smart.

If the weather truly won't cooperate, I reschedule your session at no charge to the next available date that works for you. Coastal weather changes fast, and after 15 years photographing the Grand Strand I watch the forecast closely before every session. Many Myrtle Beach rain showers pass within the hour, so often a small shift in start time is all it takes. For visiting families, I plan sessions early in your trip whenever possible so there's a built in backup day. And cloudy skies are actually beautiful for portraits, with soft, even light and dramatic backdrops over the ocean.

Absolutely. I photograph visiting families every week, and many plan their beach portraits around their Myrtle Beach vacation. Everything can be planned entirely online before you arrive, and I'll send you location recommendations, parking details, and a full session timeline in advance so your vacation session runs smoothly from start to finish.

Submit an inquiry here and tell me what type of session you have in mind. I'll confirm availability and walk you through everything from there. A deposit is required to secure your date, and popular spring, summer, and fall dates fill quickly, so reaching out early is always a good idea.
