About Us- Caitlin Ryan - Memory Lane Portraits

Owner & Passionate Artist

My greatest joy is to capture the happiest moments of people's lives! A picture is worth a thousand words. So, I have a lot to say concisely. Photography is when I feel most alive. When everything clicks into place and makes sense. When I feel most connected to my purpose on this planet. Happiness Hunting. Capturing a moment in time. To be cherished and remembered forever.

  • "Customer service is big with us and you are the BOMB!"

    We had a wonderful vacation in March. We started our last day by having our family portrait made. It was special because we went with Jeff's dad and stepmom, our kids and their friends. We had our engagement picture made, the four of us, Dad and Myra, the boys, and one of the whole gang. It was a wonderful picture. Little did we know, but 2 weeks later, Jeff's dad suddenly passed away. We were due to get our pictures back that week. After a phone call, we had confirmation our pictures would be here in a day and you were so nice and emailed us pictures we could use and even sent us one that we didn't order. Customer service is big with us and you are the BOMB! We cannot wait to come back to Hilton Head and we will have more portraits made, now as man and wife!! Thank you again!

  • "We couldn't have asked for anyone better!"

    Had a great experience with our photographer, Caitlin. She was cordial and professional all the way through. We couldn't have asked for anyone better! Thanks for everything!! - Meghan Guynn

  • "The only thing that made it difficult was trying to select the photos we wanted."

    This was our first family vacation in several years since our children finished college. Now that we have a little granddaughter we decided that this was the perfect time to have a family vacation. We wanted it to be special memory so I suggested having family pictures taken. We really lucked out with Memory Lane. Our photographer, Jack, was amazing! He certainly used his magic to make our little one laugh. When it was time for our viewing session, we did not feel pressured by any sales pitch. The only thing that made it difficult was trying to select the photos we wanted. Jack was very helpful, took his time and was very patient. When in Hilton Head, Memory Lane Portraits are the people to call for professional photos and friendly customer service. We will definitely use them again!

  • "The pictures turned out PERFECT for us."

    We LOVED the service we received from Presley. We have been coming to HHI for 16 years (every year) with our children and have wanted to take pictures for the longest time. We finally bit the bullet and booked a session. Every year we would leave saying that we forgot to book the pictures AGAIN!! The pictures turned out PERFECT for us. We cannot say enough about how incredible our photographer was/is and will positively be booking with Memory Lane Portraits again!!! Thank you so much!!

  • "Memory Lane exceeded all of my expectations."

    Memory Lane exceeded all of my expectations. I contacted Caitlin before my trip to Hilton Head where I was going to propose to my girlfriend. Caitlin couldn't have been more excited to share in the moment. She scouted out the sites ahead of time and told me exactly where to stand to capture the moment the best. She posed us in a few different locations afterwards as well. We were blown away by how good the pictures looked. Everything from the surprise pictures to pictures of us just holding hands to silhouettes had everyone asking where we had them done. If any friends, family or strangers ask for a photographer recommendation on the island I would send them to Memory Lane and Caitlin without hesitation. Thanks for making our moment even more special.

  • "They bent over-backwards to create the perfect memories!"

    We can't say enough great things about Jack and his team! They went above and beyond to work in pictures during a crazy rainstorm. They bent over-backwards to create the perfect memories! Our family will forever cherish these memories and the great stories we made getting our photos! Jack made our kids laugh and captured their pure joy despite the pure wiggles they had! He immediately took the pressure off me as mom to get good pics! You have made the right choice in photographers!

  • "We had an exceptional experience with Caitlin"

    We had an exceptional experience with Caitlin. We were hoping for just 1 family photo to keep as a memory and ended up having a hard time choosing which photos to print! We loved picking and choosing from a large number of photos as opposed to having the studio choose which images were the best. We were impressed with the variation of angles and light as well as the details she captured in the scenery around us that we didn't even notice when the photos were taken. She is a high quality professional photographer and it showed in her work. Thank you for capturing our family so beautifully!

  • "...my family was of the utmost priority..."

    In the last three summers, we have done four portrait sessions with different photographers on Hilton Head. Our most recent session with Memory Lane has been by far the best experience and I will only use them from now on! Jack was incredible with our two young children and was able to capture our family beautifully. His patience with our 2.5 year old "energetic" son was incredible. We have tried the "affordable" beach photographers and will never waste our precious vacation time (or money for that matter) with them again. Memory Lane has a professional process from shooting on the beach with lights to reviewing the proofs in the office, and I appreciated feeling like my family was of the utmost priority while working with them. Many thanks to Jack and Memory Lane for giving us wonderful family photos!
