Payton’s Sunset Senior Session in Charleston Payton | Charleston, SC

Senior Sessions

This was the first day I got to see The Pink Figgy car TWICE in one day…and honestly, I was not mad about it!!! Payton’s senior session started at Hampton Park and ended downtown, which gave us such a pretty mix of soft florals, Spanish moss, classic Charleston streets and that dreamy sunset glow.

We began at Hampton Park, and it was the perfect spot for Payton’s blue and white floral dress. I loved how it looked against all of the greenery and purple flowers! The light was starting to get soft and golden, the mossy trees were showing off, and we found so many pretty garden corners before heading downtown. That whole portion of the session felt timeless, feminine and so Charleston.

Then we ended the evening with The Pink Figgy downtown, and it was SUCH a cute final setup. Payton’s white eyelet dress paired so beautifully with the car and the soft pink backdrop, and I loved how classic that whole set felt. We also captured some of my favorite images of her walking across the street with the church steeple in the background…those are always such a fun way to show off downtown Charleston (!!!)

This session had such a sweet variety without feeling overcomplicated: florals, Spanish moss, soft color, The Pink Figgy and golden light. I loved getting to spend the evening with Payton and her mom, and it was such a fun one from start to finish!

Payton: Thank you so much for trusting me to capture your senior portraits in Charleston! I loved getting to explore Hampton Park and downtown with you, and you were such a joy to photograph. I hope you love scrolling through some of my favorites 🙂
