I thought I would make a quick post about one of my family portrait sessions over the Thanksgiving weekend. With the clients featured below, we didn’t pay to go inside the Atalaya Castle at all, but there are still a lot of nice exterior areas for pictures. The front lawn with the castle in the background is very pretty as well as the patio area in the back. I normally really like the walkway in front of the castle and some other spots, but because of the mosquitoes we had to leave that area quickly. Perhaps it’s something to do with the Hurricane Matthew flooding, it’s normally not like that. There is also a walkway behind the castle that goes right down to a pretty area of the beach.
After the hurricane the dunes are very damaged all along the Grand Strand, but I think the beaches are still a little nicer in Huntington vs the Myrtle Beach State Park. If you want something different from my usual beach and pier pictures, ask me about doing them at the Atalaya Castle. I think for some of my repeat clients I’m going to suggest doing the pictures here for a little variety.
