Practice what we peach

These days, interacting with friends and followers on social media is becoming more and more difficult. All the while Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, and the like are promising it’s becoming more and more easy.

That’s why at Beaufort Photography Co. we…

We follow you back when you follow us. We like your pictures when we like what we see. We comment on your posts when we have something to say. And we share your content with our friends and followers.

Social media as we’ve known it from the beginning is changing. But before you drop it altogether like so many are doing, let’s share a little love with each other. Let’s…
