Downtown Charleston Family Photos
The Belgrave Family took a break from their Kiawah vacation for downtown Charleston family photos with us. Karin is a photographer as well, and we have known her for many years through the photography industry. So it meant a lot to us that she asked us to do these photos for her and her beautiful family!
We met at White Point Garden and walked through the narrow streets of the historic district, finishing at The Battery. This session came at a precious time in their lives, when their daughter was on the cusp of becoming a teenager but still exhibited some of her little-girl qualities that her parents know they will miss when she’s older. And their son was just a ball of energy who kept the session fun and light-hearted.
Family Bonds
It was important to the Belgraves to capture their bond as a family. They bond over laughing together, being silly together, and cuddling. They all love each other deeply. In fact when we asked Karin’s daughter what she loved the most about her mom, she quickly replied “everything!” which of course brought tears to her mother’s eyes.
A Perfect Ending
After the session, we all went to new Charleston restaurant Patois, where Karin’s cousin is the head chef. It was wonderful to cap off the evening with a great dinner among friends. We love every opportunity to create downtown Charleston family photos for families on vacation. If you want to see more of our Charleston family vacation photography, click here!
