The Photographer

Hi, I’m Kailey Bugarin — owner and photographer behind Kailey B Photo LLC! I’m a relatable mama of two!! A toddler and an infant! Be patient with me as my office hours are during nap time, or when Ms. Rachel is on. HAHA.

In all seriousness, my business is licensed and insured. I’m a lifestyle family and motherhood photographer living in Moncks Corner, and servicing all of Charleston, SC.

Kailey B Photo LLC has become such a meaningful part of my life. As a mom, I’ve fallen in love with photography all over again — this time through the lens of motherhood, with a heart for preserving the moments that matter most.

Family looks different for everyone. Whether your story begins with love shared between two people, the joy of welcoming a child, or the strength of doing it alone, I’m here to capture those moments you’ll cherish forever.

If you’re ready to preserve your story in genuine, heartfelt images, I’d love to connect and help you capture your journey.

Nature Photography

Where My Love for Photography Began


I first fell in love with photography on nature trails — capturing landscapes, sunsets, and the wildlife that crossed my path. Birds and alligators quickly became my favorite subjects, and birding challenged my speed, focus, composition, and editing skills more than anything else. Those early days taught me how to see light, color, and detail with intention, shaping the bright, true-to-color style I bring into every session today.
