W. Family | Oak Island Family Photographer

This beautiful family had TWO special occasions they were celebrating during their Oak Island vacation- a recent engagement and a pregnancy announcement! I’m always so honored to be chosen to document these sweet moments ❤️ After we captured some group shots of everyone together, I got some images of the gorgeous engaged couple and the parents-to-be. The W. family was so fun and excited, willing to try all my ideas and poses in the midst of the stunning sunset!

G. Family | Oak Island Photographer

Extended family sessions are so special and I especially love the ones that occur on Oak Island (my hometown!). This sweet family came together for a beach vacation and they decided it was time for updated photos. As with all extended family sessions, we got shots of the whole group, each individual family, grandparents with grandchildren, cousins, etc.

Here are some of my favorites from this sweet session, including photos in front of the dunes and near some pretty tidal pools:

T. Family | Kure Beach Photographer

I had so much fun with this BIG family! The parents/grandparents have four adult children and seven grandchildren, so there was a lot of coordination involved! As a mom of four myself (ages 4-11), I love meeting extended families with four kids because it’s like catching a glimpse of what my future could be ❤️

I think the T. family did such a great job coordinating their outfits with blue and white as base colors, then adding in some pops of other colors, like green and coral. We got some shots of everyone together, as well as each individual family and grandparents with the kids.

E. Family | Oak Island Family Photographer

This extended family session was so much fun! I met the E. family while they were vacationing on Oak Island (my hometown ❤️). The family consisted of grandparents, their two adult children, and their families, including 4 grandchildren). I love beach sessions so much anyway, but there’s something even more special about extended families gathering together, especially when they might not all be in the same place very often.

Here are some of my favorite shots from this sweet session:

N. Family | Bald Head Island Family Photographer

This family was an absolute blast to work with because their white outfits matched their sparkling smiles and bright, fun personalities! I met them during their vacation on Bald Head Island (one of my favorite locations ever!). Of course, the stars of the show were the two adorable youngest members of the family- which consisted of a matriarch/great grandmother, grandparents and their three adult children (and their spouses/kids). Here are some of the images we captured during our time together:
