S. Family | Bald Head Island Family Photography

This fun group came to beautiful Bald Head Island for their extended family vacation. BHI is one of my favorite local beaches because of how quiet and secluded it is, in comparison to most other beach towns in the area.

We met at an access near the marina which features the Old Baldy Lighthouse in the background, which is always a favorite. The S. Family also did such a wonderful job coordinating their clothing choices! I typically suggest choosing 3-4 complimentary colors and coordinating everyone’s outfits without being completely matchy.

Here are some of my favorites from this sweet family:

I met this lovely family during their vacation on Bald Head Island. We took some shots near the dunes with Old Baldy in the background, as well as some photos in front of the water. The S. family consists of grandparents, their two adult children, and their kids (five total grandchildren). I was honored to provide them with a fun, laid back session and updated family portraits.

I often reference this group when asked about clothing choices for beach sessions. I absolutely love this color palette of greens, coral, and white/khaki. They also did such a great job coordinating their outfits without being completely matching!

R. Family | Bald Head Island Photographer

When the patriarch of the R. family reached out to schedule updated family portraits, I knew they would be such a fun bunch to photograph! Their family consists of three adult children and their spouses, as well as two really adorable pups.

They were vacationing on Bald Head Island, which is one of my absolute favorite locations! First, we took some shots at a grassy park area with Old Baldy in the distance and then we headed over to the beach for some relaxed portraits.

B. Family | Bald Head Island Photographer

There’s not much cuter than three little girls and their baby brother all in matching outfits! The B. family spent a week on Bald Head Island and they took advantage of the gorgeous scenery for family portraits! We used a beach access with several beautiful locations, including being able to see Old Baldy Lighthouse in the background behind the dunes.

All of these kiddos were under six years old, so we had a fun time laughing and playing on the beach. As a mom of four myself, I know we usually have a limited window of time for short attention spans, so I try to get genuine smiles in a laid back environment.

K. Family | Bald Head Island Photographer

This evening on Bald Head Island was absolutely beautiful! We had some amazing golden light (optimal starting time is about an hour before sunset to get the perfect lighting) and of course, a super photogenic and fun family!

The K. family reached out to get some updated family portraits during their vacation on Bald Head Island. BHI is one of my favorite local spots because it’s nice and secluded. Even during peak tourist season, it’s easy to find a quiet spot on the beach away from anyone else. And of course, the lighthouse “Old Baldy” had to make an appearance.
