Cody and Paige’s story is a reminder that the best moments often come when you least expect them—and sometimes, when you’re just throwing a stick at the beach with your dog.

On a golden South Carolina evening, we met on one of the most picturesque boardwalks at Palmetto Bluff. With the warm sunlight filtering through the trees, laughter bouncing off the wooden rails, and the calm marsh waters below, the setting could not have been more perfect for capturing this beautiful family.

There’s something timeless about the Southern coast—weathered wood, gentle tides, and treasures tucked away in the sand. That same sense of natural elegance is at the heart of Renee Fabrikant Décor, a Savannah-based artisan brand transforming oyster shells into stunning pieces of décor and functional art.

We had the absolute pleasure of capturing Renee in her element for a branding session that was as refined and coastal-inspired as her creations.
