FAQ: A Warm Welcome From Us

Every business has a story, and every client has questions — so we created this space to share a little more about who we are, how we work, and what you can expect when you choose Finding it Here.

We’re a mother–daughter creative studio built on connection, honesty, and the belief that great visuals come from genuine collaboration. Whether you’re a hotel, restaurant, small business, or a family who wants to be photographed with heart, we want you to feel completely at ease from the very beginning.

Here, you’ll find answers to the things people ask us most — from what makes us different from big agencies to how our guarantee works. If you don’t see your question, just reach out. We’re always happy to talk things through.

  • Finding it Here is a mother–daughter creative studio — not a large advertising agency — and that’s very intentional.
    We focus on one thing: creating beautiful, story‑driven visuals for your advertising and social media.

    No layers of staff.
    No subcontracted creatives.
    No wondering who is actually doing your work.

    When you hire us, you get us — our eyes, our hearts, and our hands on every part of your project.
    It’s personal, collaborative, and crafted with care.

  • We don’t — and that’s part of our strength.
    Instead of trying to do everything, we pour all our energy into the thing we do best:
    cinematic photography and short‑form video that helps your business stand out.

    If you already have a marketing team or agency, we fit right in.
    If you don’t, our visuals give you a strong foundation to build on.

  • You’re not alone — so many people feel that way at first. Our sessions are relaxed, warm, and guided, and we take our time to help you feel comfortable. You never have to perform or pretend; we create an experience that feels more like a conversation than a photoshoot.

    And if being in front of the camera truly isn’t your thing, that’s okay too.
    Naomi is wonderful on camera and often steps in as the person who demonstrates, narrates, or brings movement and personality to the visuals. She has a natural ease that helps clients feel less pressure and gives you beautiful content without needing to be the one in the spotlight.

    Whether you want to be in the photos, stay behind the scenes, or mix the two, we’ll shape the session around what feels right for you.

  • Absolutely.
    We specialize in hospitality and tourism storytelling — capturing the feeling of a place, not just the look of it.

    Whether you’re a boutique hotel, a coastal restaurant, a vacation rental, or a local business, we create visuals that help guests and customers feel connected before they ever arrive.

  • Yes — and it will always be part of who we are.
    Finding it Here grew out of Alice Vera Photography, which I founded in 1994. For more than 30 years, I’ve photographed families, children, and pets, and that work still brings me so much joy.

    Today, our main focus is hospitality, tourism, and small‑business branding — but we continue to offer a limited number of family sessions each year for clients who want warm, natural, story‑driven images.

  • We serve Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, Litchfield by the Sea, Conway, Socastee, and the surrounding Grand Strand.
    We’re also available for select projects in Upstate New York and Florida.

  • Business, Hospitality & Branding Content
    For our commercial clients — hotels, restaurants, vacation rentals, small businesses, and tourism partners — we offer photo + short‑form video packages starting at $550. These sessions are designed to give you ready‑to‑use content for your website, social media, and advertising.

    Every project is customized to fit your goals, whether you need a single session or ongoing monthly content.

    And no matter what you book, everything we do is backed by our promise:
    If you’re not thrilled, we’ll redo the content or refund your money.

    Family Sessions
    Family photography has been part of my heart and my work since 1994. These sessions start at $500, with several options depending on the size of your group and the type of session you want. Every family session includes all edited photographs and the combinations that matter most to you.

  • Just reach out through our contact form or send us a message.
    We’ll talk through your goals, your vision, and the feeling you want your visuals to have.
    From there, we’ll create a simple, stress‑free plan that fits your needs.

  • We stand behind our work with a simple promise:
    If you’re not thrilled, you don’t pay.

    We’ll happily redo the session or refund your money — whatever feels right to you.
    Your trust matters more than anything, and we want you to walk away with visuals you truly love.
