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:

G. Family | Ocean Isle Beach Photographer

This may have been one of the most photogenic groups I’ve had in front of my camera in my entire career! The G. family was absolutely gorgeous and also just super kind and fun to be around. Mom and Dad have three teen/young adult kids as well as grandparents who joined in for updated family photos ❤️

V. Family | Surf City NC Photographer

As a mom, it can be difficult to find time with friends, especially ones that live nearby AND have kids the same age(s) as yours. These two ladies are lucky enough to have each other in this season of life. I met them while they were on vacation in beautiful Surf City. Their boys are just a few months apart in age and I bet they’ll also be best friends one day!

We got some group shots of everyone together, each family, moms with babies, just a little bit of everything- some posed photos, as well as just spending time playing together on the beach. These are the good days 🥰

F. Family | Oak Island NC Photographer

Oak Island is my hometown, so I love being able to photograph beautiful families vacationing there. The F. family consisted of four adult siblings and parents, as well as all the grandchildren. It was a bit windy for our session, but otherwise, perfect weather. We had the most gorgeous sunset at the end of the evening.

As with all extended family sessions, I got shots of the whole group, each individual family, grandparents with grandchildren, and cousins together…basically any and every grouping requested! Some photos were near the water and some were taken at the dunes, but they were all absolute perfection 😍
