Photography by Editorial Family Photographer Dani Lacey Photographs
Furman University is one of my favorite spots in Greenville, SC for family photoshoots—not just for the iconic lake and bell tower, but for the quiet corners that often go unnoticed. This sweet family session was all about the little in-between moments: soft smiles, cozy snuggles, and the kind of natural connection that makes family portraits feel timeless. We explored some of my favorite hidden gem locations for my Greenville SC Family Portraits at Furman University.



Quiet Corners at Furman University
While Furman’s main campus is famous for its iconic lake and bell tower, some of the most magical photo spots are tucked quietly within the gardens. This peaceful pond is one of my favorite hidden gems that is surrounded by lush greenery and soft light, it creates the perfect backdrop for families to slow down, connect, and simply be. It’s in these quiet, in-between moments that the most meaningful and timeless portraits come to life.




Furman University Pathways That Tell a Story
The winding pathways throughout Furman’s campus are perfect for capturing those candid, joy-filled portraits that feel completely effortless. As this sweet family walked, played, and explored, I focused on the little in-between moments . There were so much soft laughter, gentle glances, and easy movement that made it so easy. It was all framed by the lush, vibrant greenery that makes this location so special. These are the kinds of images that tell a family’s story in the most natural and timeless way.






Why I Love Hidden Locations
Choosing less crowded, unexpected spots means less distraction and more connection. These locations allow families to relax and forget about the camera, letting their personalities shine through.
