Booking a last minute babymoon and don't know where to go? My vote is always going to be CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA! Johnny and Shelby heard me calling them I guess- haha! I think if you've seen my previous work you know there is something I just LOVE about doing maternity sessions at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. And spring is really the only time I recommend because you just can't beat the spring blooms here in Charleston. Funny enough though, if you're not from here you probably don't know when the southern spring actually starts and of course that is weather dependent. But after eight years here in Charleston I can tell you that spring actually starts to make it's way into our lives here in late February and spring blooms can start as early as that last week in February into mid-March. It's rare they hand on until mid-April, but since we've had so many sporadic cold snaps, the flowers in the shade held on just long enough for Shelby and Johnny's session on April 15th.
