The sessions above were photographed across some of my favorite spots in the Upstate — the South Carolina Botanical Garden, the shores of Lake Hartwell, quiet fields near Central, and the brick-lined streets of historic Pendleton. Every family session is outdoors at golden hour, because that soft evening light is where real connection shows up best. If you recognize one of these places — or have somewhere that's special to your family — it would be an honor to photograph you there.
