Lily’s Kiawah Island Senior Portraits Lily | Charleston, SC

Senior Sessions

What. A. Shoot! Lily grew up vacationing on Kiawah Island just outside of Charleston, and she thought it would be the perfect place to capture her senior portraits. We had a FaceTime call leading up to her session to talk about all of her gorgeous outfits, locations and plans for shoot day – and I instantly knew we were going to have SO much fun! Lily is such a bubbly ball of joy, and she has the BEST sense of style. She wanted to capture a huge variety of styles and locations at her shoot: her favorite local shops, a country-inspired look with Spanish moss, a formal gown (the one she wore to the Masters this year), the beach and her love of golf with her family. And we made it ALL happen!!!

We started Lily’s shoot at one of her favorite stores: LoveShack Fancy! They even let us grab a few fun photos in their gorgeous floral-filled interior. Then, we grabbed an ice cream cone for some fun, colorful photos before grabbing some shots with her adorable doodle! Then, we headed to the iconic Sanctuary Hotel to capture Lily’s more formal looks before finishing up at the famous Ocean Course! We fit SO much into this session – it was absolutely amazing!

Lily: Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your senior portraits! I had the BEST time with you and your sweet family – and I hope you love scrolling through my favorites!
