We had the most gorgeous backdrop and weather for this extended family session on Bald Head Island. This beautiful group gathered together for a special vacation all together and decided it was a perfect time for updated family photos.
I adore extended family sessions because I love getting to see all the family dynamics and relationships. Most of the time, the grandchildren are obviously the stars of the show 🤩
I’m obsessed with seeing my newborns at their one year cake smash! It never ceases to amaze me how much babies grow and change in just one year. Olivia was the cutest little nugget at 8 days old (check out her newborn session here!) and she just got even more adorable.
We got some simple shots first, showcasing Olivia’s gorgeous pink dress and then moved on to the cake smash set. Her mom requested a floral/butterfly/fairy theme and I think it turned out absolutely perfect 🦋
I truly enjoyed my time with this amazing family of four during their vacation on Bald Head Island! The kiddos were so excited to show off their new ocean-themed stuffed animals, which of course had to be featured in some of the photos. Our session took place at one of my favorite locations on Bald Head Island. This beach access is near the marina and has nice, tall dune grass with Old Baldy in the background, so it’s absolutely perfect 😍
Gorgeous Hanna is pure perfection 🤍 Her mama requested blues, purples, and neutrals to be incorporated into her newborn session, as well as a few special outfits, including one that all of her big sisters wore! Hanna is baby #5 in her family and they are ALL girls, so of course we had a blast styling her session.
This family is very special to me- Hanna’s mama was my oldest son’s preschool teacher about 8-9 years ago. Hanna has an older sister the same age as my son and unfortunately, both of these beautiful kids (Hanna’s sister Sophia and my son) fought cancer at the same time last year. Sophia was able to witness Hanna’s birth and she’s now Hanna’s guardian angel, watching over all the sisters left here on earth.
My job providing memories and “freezing time” is not one I take lightly. I know how much these moments mean to parents who are going through the worst things imaginable with their children. I’m honored to be a part of each family’s story 💕
Extended family sessions are so incredibly special. This beautiful family was visiting Wrightsville Beach and decided it was time for updated photos. The family consists of grandparents, their three adult children, and their spouses/kids, totaling 15 people! All the grandchildren were born within 5 years, so the cousins had a great time together, playing and laughing (cousin photos are always some of my favorites!)
We met at Johnnie Mercer’s Pier on Wrightsville and got some shots near the pier, in front of the water, and at the gorgeous dunes.
