There is something timeless about family photographs beneath the iconic Avenue of Oaks at The Lodge at Sea Island. The sweeping live oaks, winding branches, and Spanish moss create one of the most beautiful backdrops on the Georgia coast, and the Drewell family’s extended family session there felt especially meaningful.

One of my favorite things about family sessions at Palmetto Bluff is how naturally it invites families to slow down and simply be together. The boardwalks, quiet paths, glowing marsh light, and dreamy Lowcountry scenery create the perfect backdrop without ever taking attention away from the connection between a family.

The Mullis Family at their custom marshfront home in Townsend, GA. From their first baby announcement with Kannon to now with two boys, it’s been an honor to document their story and capture these special family memories.

Some traditions just keep getting better every year. The Desko family’s annual picnic at Wright Park in Bluffton is one of those days I look forward to photographing. This year marked my third time capturing their gathering, and it was every bit as joyful as the first.
