Abby’s Spring Senior Portraits at Hampton Park Abby | Charleston, SC

Senior Sessions

Kicking off the busy senior season with a BANG!!! Abby’s beautiful senior session in downtown Charleston was the PERFECT start to my 2025 shooting season. We photographed her portraits on Rainbow Row, at Hampton Park and on Sullivan’s Island – we covered it ALL! She traveled in from out of state for her portraits and, oh my goodness…it was WORTH IT. Just wait until you see the gorgeous blooms we found at the park with her stunning white dress!

Despite the fact that spring has sprung in CHS, I was shocked by how COLD it was for Abby’s session! In the sunshine, we were totally okay…but once the sun started to go down and we were shooting in the shade…poor Abby was shivering by the end! But, I’d bet you’d NEVER be able to tell from these photos! We searched high and low for flowers that were in bloom this early in the season…and I can’t wait until you see some of these floral portraits (thanks to my amazing friend G who shared the blooms on Instagram first!) And, if you’re a photographer…the best part is we FILMED it all!! You can watch every moment of this session in The Senior Scoop starting on April 1st!

Abby: Thank you and your sweet mom SO much for traveling to Charleston for this session! I just LOVED spending the evening with you both and you kicked off my year of 2025 with so much joy. I hope you love scrolling through so many of my favorite images!
