Spring in Pawleys Island is truly something special—vibrant blooms, golden sunsets, and a soft coastal breeze that makes every moment feel magical. Recently, I had the joy of photographing sweet Rose in a dreamy spring setting, capturing her playful spirit and natural beauty in the golden light of the Lowcountry.

A Picture-Perfect Spring Day

For Rose’s session, we chose a stunning outdoor location filled with fresh spring flowers and lush greenery. Dressed in a light, pastel outfit that perfectly complemented the soft, natural tones of the season, she looked like she had stepped right out of a storybook. The warm, golden-hour sunlight added an extra touch of magic, making every moment feel timeless.

Capturing Childhood Joy

One of my favorite parts of child portrait photography is capturing genuine emotions—big smiles, little giggles, and those fleeting moments of wonder. Rose was full of energy and joy, making it easy to document her personality through playful interactions with nature. Whether she was twirling in the breeze or gently admiring the petals of a spring blossom, every image told a story of innocence and adventure.

Why Spring is the Perfect Time for Child Portraits

Spring in Pawleys Island provides the perfect backdrop for children’s portraits. The soft, golden light, the pastel tones of nature, and the comfortable temperatures all create an ideal setting for capturing natural, heartfelt moments. It’s also a wonderful time for families to update their photo albums with fresh, seasonal portraits before the summer heat sets in.
