Meet Paul Cheney

Paul Cheney is a Charleston-based commercial photographer with more than 20 years of experience photographing everything from luxury yachts and architecture to nationally recognized festivals and events, including Charleston Wine + Food, the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, and Spoleto Festival USA.

After creating more than 2.5 million images throughout his career, Paul knows that a great portrait is about more than good lighting and a camera. It’s about capturing personality, character, and those expressions that make every subject unique.

That philosophy inspired Thanks 4 Smiling, a Charleston portrait studio specializing in professional headshots and distinctive pet portraits. The goal is simple: make professional portrait photography convenient, enjoyable, and accessible without compromising quality.
