\"\"I was recently talking about Botany Bay with someone, which made me realize I never finished editing my trip to South Carolina from June, nor posted it. Story of my life… I feel a little guilty sometimes when I have my own work I want to edit, but all these weddings or sessions I must edit for clients. It’s a great problem to have, but time just goes by way too fast. I decided I was going to finish South Carolina & London before I head into the crazy month of October!!<\/p>\n

Earlier this summer (June) I traveled down to the beloved South Carolina. We have good family friends & high school friends who live there now, which make the state all that sweeter. I stayed with the Trephan family & made a great week out of it. I also had sessions lined up for Charleston & one on Hilton Head Island!! Side note: I WILL travel for sessions to these epic places – come on!! BOOK ME!!<\/p>\n

The first full day, I had a morning session in Charleston & then made the day exploring Charleston, yet, one more time. You can always walk around & find new treasures, but perhaps, I will choose to do that in the fall next time. It was so so so so hot!! I know, Duh! We went to the adorable coffee shop called Black Tap coffee – HIGHLY recommend it. The food & coffee were\u00a0delicious. My friend, Kate, met Heather and I downtown and we continued our adventure. We found the CUTEST boutique – again, highly recommend. They are more than a store.\u00a0It’s called Be the Change Boutique. Every items sold\/bought has an organization it donates to.<\/p>\n

One day, Heather & I also went to the Magnolia Plantation. It was gorgeous. So many pictures of that below. You literally just walk and explore all the beauty. We did see a family of raccoons, which was kinda gross. I’m sorry, I just hate those things…<\/p>\n

My favorite adventure I went on with the Trephan family was Botany Bay. If you have never been, YOU MUST! It’s unlike any thing I have ever seen. An older couple owned the land & taxes were so high, they had to sell. The state owns it & it is to remain completely untouched. You can even take a seashell without getting fined. Some people were laying out, but it’s land to be explored, for the most part. Enjoy those photos because it’s one of my favorites.<\/p>\n

One of the last things I did was travel down to Hilton Head to capture the Cooleridge family on their family vacation. I love these people & how they just welcomed me into their memories. I spent the day at the beach with them & the evening taking pictures. You can view both sessions here<\/a> & here<\/a>\u00a0!!!<\/p>\n
