Handley Kate’s senior session was one of those shoots that felt like the FULL Charleston experience!!! We packed in so many iconic locations in one evening and basically turned her session into what I like to call a “walking senior session”…meaning we got in thousands of steps exploring downtown, found so many different backdrops along […]
Loralei’s senior session landed on one of the very first days that actually felt like FALL in Charleston…and it could not have been more perfect for her!!! It was chilly, breezy, grey and we even had a rain cloud or two rolling through, which just so happens to be Loralei’s favorite kind of weather. I […]
There is just something about a sunrise senior session in Charleston that feels extra magical…especially when The Pink Figgy is involved!!! Charli, her mom and her best friend flew all the way from Michigan for this shoot, which made the entire morning feel even more special. I will never get over families traveling such a […]
Harper’s senior session was one of those shoots where every single outfit deserved its OWN moment!!! She chose three dresses for her entire session, and I absolutely loved that she went for quality over quantity. Instead of squeezing in a million outfit changes, she brought three total show-stoppers that each gave us something completely different…and […]
Hannah’s senior session felt like such a beautiful reflection of who she is!!! She lives locally here in Charleston and wanted her portraits to feel natural, relaxed and full of the things she genuinely loves: the beach, animals, mossy trees and spending time with the people closest to her. So, we built the morning around […]
Bailey’s senior session felt like such a perfect little Charleston dream!!! She and her mom traveled in from Statesboro, Georgia after finding me on TikTok, and I loved how specific her vision was from the very beginning. On her questionnaire, she said she loved Rainbow Row, the coast and beach look, and the pink Charleston […]
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 […]
Kira’s sunrise senior session in downtown Charleston was SUCH a fun one!!! We started early with The Pink Figgy, and I loved her unique take on this setup. She paired the car with bright pink florals, shopping bags and the cutest high-contrast black and white dress…and it felt so fun, girly and editorial all at […]
