Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, SC has to be one of the most gorgeous properties in the low country.We spent the afternoon driving around to all of my favorite backdrops. The Timmerman Family have had their second home on property for almost 10 years! The girls have all grown up and two have their own careers but kids are never too old to update those family photos!

The options are limitless for families staying at Montage Palmetto Bluff!  Horseback riding, shooting club, archery, fishing, boat rides, Smore’s, bike trails, tree house exploring, multiple pools (adult and kids), great restaurants, shopping, Veuve Clicquot picnics, a speak easy, bocce ball, basketball/pickleball/tennis courts, amazing golf, dolphin discovery tours, conservancy guided tours, paddle boarding, crabbing excursions … seriously so much and I’m probably missing a few!

Forsyth Park provides such a great backdrop for family photos. The park is full of big oak trees draped in moss, the grass is beautiful and green, and the streets surrounding the park make great spots to dip into for a few classic southern city photos. Downtown Savannah is so dreamy when the street lights come on at night.

Montage at Palmetto Bluff is such a beautiful Fall retreat for families. The activities are endless for kids! There’s fishing, archery, treehouses, ice cream shops, Paintbox, endless trails, and so much wildlife to discover.

If your child doesn’t like sitting still or posing for the camera, have no worries. We can still get some great photos of the little rascal. When children don’t want to cooperate, we as photographers jump to plan B. It is our job to create situations where you child can relax and candidly bring out their personalities. About 97% of the time, I prefer candid shots instead of the posed ones.
