S. Family | Holden Beach Photographer

This session was such a fun one! It included 17 family members all gathering at Holden Beach for vacation. The proud grandparents have 3 adult children/spouses and 9 grandchildren that ranged in age from 2 to 13 (including 4 preschool aged little boys!).

Having been a preschool teacher in my previous life and being a mom of 4, I know getting little ones to cooperate for photos can be a challenge. I do have a few tricks I’ve discovered over the years. Sometimes it takes kids a bit to warm up and that’s okay! Usually there are other combos/shots we can do while they get their wiggles out. I also try to work pretty quickly because I know we have a limited attention span with most kids.

The best compliments I receive are from parents who say “this was so easy!” I do try to make it a painless process from beginning to end!
