Join a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/charlestonflowersocial/">Charleston Flower Social</a> event and make an arrangement while you mingle! I had fun documenting Lauren’s September event at the I’On Meeting House. It was a fundraiser for <a href="https://www.herfuturecoalition.org">Her Future Coalition</a>, which provides an array of services to aid survivors of human trafficking.</p> <p>Charleston Flower Social’s first October gathering sold out super fast, so Lauren added a second event to accommodate more people. Check out <a href="https://www.instagram.com/charlestonflowersocial/">her Instagram</a> to see how appealing the succulent arrangement is and sign up to join the fun. </p> <figure

This trip included a couple of days with my long-ago Boston roommate and her son, who were traveling from Idaho. I corresponded with a friend in the East Village, who laughingly replied that my itinerary for a Most Amazing NYC Day was ambitious. Imagine her surprise (and ours!) when we packed all that and more into twelve adventuresome hours!</p> <p>Cidney and I flew up Saturday morning and spent the weekend roaming Central Park, eating lots of yumminess, exploring some architectural gems and soaking up Sunday on Broadway. Her birthday present was tickets to the two-part <a href="https://www.harrypottertheplay.com">Harry Potter play</a>, so we spent most of our Sunday at the Lyric Theater. Our friends arrived bleary-eyed Sunday morning after a cross-country flight, so the itinerary for this ambitious day was slated for Monday.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/070-most-amazing-NYC-day-carolina-photosmith-1024x682(pp_w768_h511).jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-15807" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/070-most-amazing-NYC-day-carolina-photosmith-1024x682%28pp_w480_h319%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/070-most-amazing-NYC-day-carolina-photosmith-1024x682%28pp_w768_h511%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/070-most-amazing-NYC-day-carolina-photosmith-1024x682%28pp_w992_h660%29.jpg 992w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/070-most-amazing-NYC-day-carolina-photosmith-1024x682.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure> <p>We chose Midtown East as home base. Cidney and I spent four nights at the historic <a href="https://curiocollection3.hilton.com/en/hotels/new-york/the-renwick-hotel-new-york-city-curio-collection-by-hilton-NYCRWQQ/index.html">Renwick</a> and really enjoyed our stay! Melinda and Luke were eight blocks away at Hotel 48LEX. We started our adventure by meeting at Grand Central and taking the #7 to 34th Street / Hudson Yards. First task: CLIMB THE VESSEL. The distinctive copper beehive is the centerpiece of a new development that includes chic residences, dining and shopping on the Hudson River. The Vessel is an interactive art installation comprised of 154 flights of stairs that rewarded us with great views and breezes.

I’d never rented from <a href="https://www.citibikenyc.com/explore">CitiBike</a> before, but it was a snap. For $12 each, we could access bikes for 24 hours from various CitiBike locations in 30-minute increments. We pedaled along the <a href="https://www.citibikenyc.com/rides/hudson-river-greenway">Hudson River Greenway</a> for a few scenic miles and docked the bikes about 25 minutes later. (There’s also an app-only option for a single $3 ride.

The footprints of the towers didn’t seem as large as I expected, but watching the waterfalls descend into the shadows thirty feet below was humbling. I skimmed my fingers over names of some victims and watched as people touched roses tucked into some of the names of the nearly 3000 people memorialized here.</p> <p>Our initial plan was to walk across BROOKLYN BRIDGE, but we were eager to pick up more bikes. The first Citibike kiosk didn’t recognize the card I’d swiped earlier, so I called the support number and was surprised when someone answered quickly. He could tell that the card reader on the kiosk was not working properly, so he directed us to a nearby kiosk to try again. Something was still amiss, but we caught some acrobats flipping in BATTERY PARK, and the kids-at-heart hopped aboard the SEAGLASS CAROUSEL. The third kiosk was the charm, and we were back in business, pedaling along the waterfront and looking for signs to access the bike path to Brooklyn. </p> <ul class="wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/084-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x680(pp_w768_h510).jpg" alt="" data-id="15786" data-link="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/?attachment_id=15786" class="wp-image-15786" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/084-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x680%28pp_w480_h318%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/084-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x680%28pp_w768_h510%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/084-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x680%28pp_w992_h658%29.jpg 992w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/084-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x680.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/085-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x768(pp_w768_h576).jpg" alt="" data-id="15787" data-link="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/?attachment_id=15787" class="wp-image-15787" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/085-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x768%28pp_w480_h360%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/085-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x768%28pp_w768_h576%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/085-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x768%28pp_w992_h744%29.jpg 992w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/085-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x768.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption>Quest for the Brooklyn Bridge</figcaption></figure></li></ul> <p>Ignorance was bliss, at least for a bit. We had no idea we’d end up in the middle of six lanes of car traffic, but that’s where the bike path was! The steady climb up to the bridge span was crammed with people, many of whom spilled into the bike lanes and had no concept of traffic flow. By the time we passed the first photo op location, the crowds minimized considerably until we started descending into Brooklyn. I can’t imagine if we’d tried this on a weekend, but the bike lane still had more breathing room than the pedestrian lane since few walkers traversed the whole bridge.</p> <ul class="wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/086-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x768(pp_w768_h576).jpg" alt="" data-id="15789" data-link="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/?attachment_id=15789" class="wp-image-15789" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/086-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x768%28pp_w480_h360%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/086-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x768%28pp_w768_h576%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/086-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x768%28pp_w992_h744%29.jpg 992w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/086-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x768.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/087-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x680(pp_w768_h510).jpg" alt="" data-id="15790" data-link="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/?attachment_id=15790" class="wp-image-15790" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/087-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x680%28pp_w480_h318%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/087-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x680%28pp_w768_h510%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/087-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x680%28pp_w992_h658%29.jpg 992w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/087-most-amazing-nyc-day-biking-brooklyn-bridge-1024x680.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></li></ul> <p>We followed the path straight into Brooklyn then found a Citibike station to dock our bikes.

the waterfront in EMPIRE FULTON FERRY park and took the five-minute <a href="https://www.ferry.nyc/routes-and-schedules/route/south-brooklyn/">MTA ferry</a> back across the river to Wall Street. It was a shame our ride was so speedy because the sky was painted in cotton candy stripes, and it would have been fun to keep cruising. Still, this tip from Lynne was a great recommendation! Fare is just $2.75, like the subway, but our unlimited Metro card did not include the ferry. A better option would be to take a longer ride up the river and soak up the views beneath the Brooklyn, Manhattan and East River bridges.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/091-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn(pp_w768_h511).jpg" alt="Most amazing NYC day includes MTA ferry at sunset" class="wp-image-15803" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/091-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn%28pp_w480_h319%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/091-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn%28pp_w768_h511%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/091-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn%28pp_w992_h661%29.jpg 992w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/091-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn%28pp_w1200_h799%29.jpg 1200w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/091-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn%28pp_w1600_h1066%29.jpg 1600w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/091-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px"></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/092-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn(pp_w768_h511).jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-15804" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/092-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn%28pp_w480_h319%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/092-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn%28pp_w768_h511%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/092-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn%28pp_w992_h661%29.jpg 992w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/092-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn%28pp_w1200_h799%29.jpg 1200w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/092-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn%28pp_w1600_h1066%29.jpg 1600w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/092-most-amazing-nyc-day-dumbo-brooklyn.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px"><figcaption>What a whirlwind of a day!</figcaption></figure> <p>As we arrived at Pier 11, the cotton candy skies had succumbed to dusk.

When they both worked at Boeing, I photographed their <a href="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/sarah-trey-historic-charleston-engagement/">autumn engagement session</a> and their <a href="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/historic-charleston-wedding-sarah-trey/">beautiful spring wedding</a> at First Baptist and the Old Exchange Building. They left town a few years ago to write new chapters, so it was a treat when they planned a Charleston trip and chose to fit in a portrait session wandering some of their favorite spots. And yay for baby news! Even though svelte Sarah was just over halfway through her pregnancy, we had fun making some historic Charleston maternity portraits. </p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async"

Let Carolina Photosmith help with this roundup of the best Charleston portrait photography locations. See what resonates with you, and let’s freshen up your portrait gallery with some wall-worthy art!</p> <p>There is no shortage of wonderful places throughout the Charleston area that are well suited to colorful location photography. Many times, the best location is a place that is meaningful to you. It could be your family’s country place or the beach where you come together for family reunions. I’ve photographed many couples at their happy places around town, including college campuses, favorite parks and the place where they got engaged. On a boat? Sure! Coffee shop or bowling alley? Why not!</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>PORTRAITS IN A PARK</strong></h3> <p>Hopefully these examples will help you visualize where you’d happily wander for a Charleston portrait photography session. We’ll start with some park settings. Green and gray are most prominent in the outdoor lover’s backdrops, making them ideal for happy, warm tones in your clothing.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async"

class="wp-block-heading"><strong>SEASIDE PHOTOGRAPHY</strong></h3> <p>The beach is popular location choice for vacationing families and locals. I usually meet families at their rental properties, and we take some portraits with a lush backdrop (yard, steps, beach pathway) before we amble onto the beach. The ocean breezes are often blowing during the gentle evening light, so it’s important to consider that hair might not be as tidy by the sea. Embrace being easy and breezy, or wear long hair up with some hairspray. Bring a hair tie and bobby pins along, if you like, but stash them in a back pocket (not on your wrist).</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/FB_bubbles-e1551986342571(pp_w768_h330).jpg" alt="Numbered cousin shirts, a trend we may have started a decade ago." class="wp-image-15353" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/FB_bubbles-e1551986342571%28pp_w480_h206%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/FB_bubbles-e1551986342571%28pp_w768_h330%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/FB_bubbles-e1551986342571%28pp_w992_h426%29.jpg 992w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/FB_bubbles-e1551986342571%28pp_w1200_h515%29.jpg 1200w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/FB_bubbles-e1551986342571%28pp_w1600_h687%29.jpg 1600w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/FB_bubbles-e1551986342571.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px"><figcaption>Yet another year with our Pinterest hit!

Charleston portrait locations would be complete without the historic downtown! This choice is a couple and family favorite because of the color, history and architecture that can be experienced during a leisurely walk-and-snap session. Centuries-old houses with colorful window boxes, streets crafted of cobblestones once used as ballast in ships, lush parks, vibrant waterfront settings can all be part of your portraits. With professional photographs of you and yours in this setting, you’ll have the best souvenirs and can focus on eating all the things during your visit.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/041-charleston-maternity-portrait-carolina-photosmith-historic-downtown(pp_w768_h1152).jpg" alt="historic Charleston maternity portrait sarah carolina photosmith" class="wp-image-15630" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/041-charleston-maternity-portrait-carolina-photosmith-historic-downtown%28pp_w480_h720%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/041-charleston-maternity-portrait-carolina-photosmith-historic-downtown%28pp_w768_h1152%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/041-charleston-maternity-portrait-carolina-photosmith-historic-downtown%28pp_w992_h1488%29.jpg 992w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/041-charleston-maternity-portrait-carolina-photosmith-historic-downtown%28pp_w1200_h1800%29.jpg 1200w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/041-charleston-maternity-portrait-carolina-photosmith-historic-downtown%28pp_w1600_h2400%29.jpg 1600w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/041-charleston-maternity-portrait-carolina-photosmith-historic-downtown.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px"></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/038-best-charleston-portrait-locations-carolina-photosmith-historic-downtown-1(pp_w768_h614).jpg" alt="Rainbow Row portrait.

Later, we hit some of their other favorite spots including Waterfront Park and the Charleston Battery. You’ll have to check out all the photos to see the special circumstance Charlie was dealing with at the end of the post. </p> <p>These two are returning to Charleston in May for their big wedding day! I’m looking forward to lots of dance action with this duo at <a href="https://www.boonehallplantation.com">Boone Hall</a> in Mount Pleasant. It’s always such a beautiful wedding venue, and I’m happy to document their long-awaited day in another favorite Charleston location.</p> <ul class="wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped

I’ll always remember their wedding day, especially the band leading us for the short walk from Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church to a reception at the Old Village Post House, which recently closed after a long run.</p> <p>It’s always a treat to see my wedding clients as they begin adding branches to their family tree. Because this crew lives in town, we schedule their Charleston family photography session each year. This afternoon in the park might have been our best yet! One reason I book hour-long sessions is because I’ve found kids treat it more like a field trip and less like smile-or-else torture if we let them do kid stuff during our time together.</p> <ul class="wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-12 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/FAM_sailorkids-1024x682(pp_w768_h511).jpg" alt="Charleston family photography.

Once you’ve set your travel dates, it’s a great time to secure a seasoned family photographer. I recommend booking a Carolina Photosmith beach photo session at the beginning of your week. This helps us avoid any odd sunburns and allows for a rain date later in the week if an thunderstorm pops up on your scheduled day. (I didn’t mention Sullivans Island since that barrier island prohibits commercial activity, which includes beach photography by a professional. The IOP is just a quick hop over Breach Inlet, and there are plenty of other <a href="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/best-charleston-portrait-locations/">great Lowcountry places to wander</a> during your portrait session.)</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async"

class="wp-block-heading" id="mce_8">Timing for Charleston Beach Photography Session</h4> <p>The ideal start time for a beach session is within 60-90 minutes of sunset. As the sun sinks low, the light becomes warm and gentle. This minimizes harsh shadows and squinting family members. As a mom of two children, I remember the days of 7:30pm bedtimes and how the last hour or two of an action-packed day can be prime time for grumpy behavior. That said, most children I’ve photographed over the years get a second wind and rally for some photos if they’ve eaten dinner.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/20-15168-post/LittlesV_2000(pp_w768_h960).jpg" alt="Charleston beach photography family vacation © Carolina Photosmith" class="wp-image-15505" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/20-15168-post/LittlesV_2000%28pp_w480_h600%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/20-15168-post/LittlesV_2000%28pp_w768_h960%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/20-15168-post/LittlesV_2000%28pp_w992_h1240%29.jpg 992w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/20-15168-post/LittlesV_2000%28pp_w1200_h1500%29.jpg 1200w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/20-15168-post/LittlesV_2000%28pp_w1600_h2000%29.jpg 1600w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/20-15168-post/LittlesV_2000.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px"></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/05-15293-pp_gallery/BEACH_6littlegrands(pp_w768_h511).jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-15302" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/05-15293-pp_gallery/BEACH_6littlegrands%28pp_w480_h319%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/05-15293-pp_gallery/BEACH_6littlegrands%28pp_w768_h511%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/05-15293-pp_gallery/BEACH_6littlegrands%28pp_w992_h661%29.jpg 992w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/05-15293-pp_gallery/BEACH_6littlegrands%28pp_w1200_h799%29.jpg 1200w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/05-15293-pp_gallery/BEACH_6littlegrands%28pp_w1600_h1066%29.jpg 1600w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/05-15293-pp_gallery/BEACH_6littlegrands.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px"></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/035-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith(pp_w768_h570).jpg" alt="Charleston beach photographer Carolina Photosmith" class="wp-image-15183" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/035-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith%28pp_w480_h356%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/035-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith%28pp_w768_h570%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/035-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith.jpg 900w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px"></figure> <ul class="wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-16 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/036-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith(pp_w768_h512).jpg" alt="" data-id="15184" data-link="http://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/?attachment_id=15184" class="wp-image-15184" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/036-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith%28pp_w480_h320%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/036-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith%28pp_w768_h512%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/036-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith.jpg 900w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px"></figure></li><li class="blocks-gallery-item"><figure><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/037-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith(pp_w768_h380).jpg" alt="" data-id="15185" data-link="http://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/?attachment_id=15185" class="wp-image-15185" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/037-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith%28pp_w480_h237%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/037-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith%28pp_w768_h380%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/037-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith.jpg 900w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px"></figure></li></ul> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Session Flow for Charleston Beach Photography</h4> <p>Want some insight on how your beach photo session will flow? I typically start with the largest group and the most formal groupings. This might be your immediate family and beloved pup. For larger gatherings, it can be an extended family enjoying a beach reunion or celebrating an anniversary. From there, we break out into smaller groupings such as individual families and couples, all the children, kids and grands, siblings, etc. Finally, my favorite is capturing kids being themselves. Even though we’re only together for an hour, many of my favorite images are made once people forget about my camera and just start playing. Running, splashing, twirling and general hijinks are encouraged!</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/034-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith(pp_w768_h512).jpg" alt="Three generations splash in the Atlantic Ocean together at the end of their Charleston beach photo session." class="wp-image-15187" srcset="https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/034-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith%28pp_w480_h320%29.jpg 480w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/034-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith%28pp_w768_h512%29.jpg 768w,https://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/034-charleston-beach-photography-carolina-photosmith.jpg 900w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px"><figcaption>Seas the day, and soak it up!</figcaption></figure> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Contact Jen to Schedule Your Session</h4> <p>Ready to book your Charleston beach photography session? <a href="http://www.carolinaphotosmith.com/contact/">Contact Jen</a> once your travel dates are secured.
