hey!

Hey there, I'm Kip! Or as your grandparents might call me, Chip or Skip..... it’s all good.
I am the Myrtle Beach Photographer behind Middle Child Photography
I have the incredible job of photographing people who are madly in love and absolutely beautiful, which is pretty cool, right? I'm beyond lucky to capture their special moments and make so many new friends along the way.

When I'm not busy with the cool business side of things or snapping amazing photos, you’ll find me embracing the great outdoors—hiking, camping, biking—or playing Pickleball. I also love cheering on our daughter as she plays High School volleyball. Life is an adventure, and I can't wait to help you capture yours!

Myrtle Beach Photographer

Hi, I'm Kip...
Since 2007, I have had the privilege of photographing over 300 weddings, primarily in the beautiful Myrtle Beach and Grand Strand areas. My passion for capturing love and joy has also taken me to stunning destinations such as the coast of New Jersey, Newport, Rhode Island, and The Bahamas. During the summer months, you can find me on the beach, capturing family portraits against the backdrop of breathtaking sunsets. I also have a special love for photographing high school seniors, crafting around 20 unique and personalized sessions each season. My goal is to create timeless images that reflect the individuality and special moments of each client.

LET'S BE SERIOUS...

FOR LIKE A SECOND

WANT MORE?

For the last 6 years, I have been the organizer of a group of local photographers that provides free sessions to families with children fighting cancer. I personally shoot about 6 free sessions per summer and coordinate with over 40 families and photographers to make it happen. These families come to the beach from all over the state and leave with memories that will last a lifetime. I also have taken on interns, allowed kids from local schools to job shadow and I teach classes to local photographers. I believe strongly in "Community over Competition."

I VALUE ...

BUT REALLY, WHO AM i?

- we have too many pets... three dogs, two hairless rats, a hairless cat, one rabbit, and a horse. My daughter and I volunteer at a wildlife rescue place.
- we once left two brand new kayaks on the side of the highway when the wind was too strong and they blew off the van.
- If you watched it on Netflix, I probably did too.
- I was married overlooking Niagara falls on the Canada side in 2004, but been together since 1997.
- I can ride a unicycle, and have a Schwinn.
- I spent 16 years working with kids and adult with disabilities.
- I hate coffee. I know, not cool.
- I will sneak seconds if your wedding has a mashed potato bar.
- we bought a covid-camper and love to explore the country in it.
