Furman University May Spring Mini Sessions at the Shi Institute
If you’re looking for timeless, light-filled family portraits this spring, Furman University’s Shi Institute for Sustainable Agriculture in Travelers Rest, SC is one of the dreamiest places to be. These Furman University May Spring Mini Sessions at the Shi Institute were filled with soft golden light, wide-open space for toddlers to play, and blooming trees that created the most stunning backdrop for family memories.
This particular session featured a beautiful family of three—mom, dad, and their sweet toddler boy—who made the most of a warm spring evening together. Mom wore one of the most loved pieces from my Client Closet, a romantic, flowy dress that caught the light just perfectly. It paired beautifully with the golden field and her son’s sweet smile.
A Session Designed With You in Mind
If you’re a sentimental mama who wants to soak up this fleeting season with your little ones, these spring mini sessions were made just for you. My goal is always to create a relaxed, joy-filled experience for your family—one where your toddler can run freely, where you can feel beautiful and confident in what you’re wearing, and where we capture all the love, laughter, and connection that makes your family so special.
These mini sessions at Furman’s Shi Institute are short and sweet—perfect for busy families who still want beautiful, professional photos. We focus on the moments that matter most: the way your child lights up when you laugh, the way your partner looks at you when you’re snuggling your baby, and the tiny hands reaching up for one more hug.
