Halcyon (HAL-SEE-ON) Hills Photography was founded in September 2010 to serve the real estate and related markets in York County, SC, with high-resolution, high-quality photography of properties and locales.
In 2012, we added portrait and event photography, offering professional lighting and high-quality retouching to create images suitable for display anyplace in your home. As an extension of that, we provide high quality business headshots, we have an absolutely AWESOME high school senior model program, we work in the fashion industry (through our sister brand, Don Porter Photography) and we have a thriving scan-and-repair business to help recover older, precious photos of your loved ones.
In 2014, we began operations in our studio in downtown Fort Mill, SC. When this 1920-era historical building was sold, we moved within Fort Mill, and in Dec. 2018 found our current home at 1510 East Main St. in Rock Hill, SC, about 1/2 mile toward Rock Hill from exit 77 on I-77. We also work on location, and there are many nearby outdoor spaces, both natural and urban, where we can take clients for different experiences.
As part of our services, we provide makeup artists and hair stylists on request.
