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 🥰

The G. family frequents Wrightsville Beach for annual vacations and I met them on their most recent trip. Two sisters joined their mom and dad for some updated family photos. They were a lot of fun to work with and so gorgeous, too! We got some shots near the dunes, as well as by the beautiful, blue water.

After their session, they ordered prints to display in their home, which always makes my photographer heart so happy ❤️

I first met this beautiful family when I photographed their baby girl as a newborn (check out that session here!). Sweet Antonia is a lot bigger these days but still an absolute sweetheart. Her parents wanted updated family photos on Wrightsville Beach, which is always a favorite location. We had such a gorgeous evening together and I loved catching up ❤️

It’s that time of year again- the beach sessions have begun! I truly enjoyed every moment with this sweet family during our time together! Their little boy went to preschool with my oldest son. One year, six out of the eight moms in the preschool class were expecting babies (including the two of us!). Our daughters were born exactly one month apart and they both just turned two! As you can imagine, a beach session with two little ones is so fun because everything is exciting to them. We checked out the seashells and played in the sand in between shots (and Grandma even joined in!). I’m so glad we get to call this beautiful place home!

K. Family | Oak Island NC Family Photographer

I met this little family while they were spending a weekend on Oak Island. Being an Oak Island native myself, I love sharing my hometown with vacationers and learning what led them to choose this area for their getaway. Their adorable little boy was so curious about the sand, water, and boats cruising through the waves. He was quite the serious little guy, but he eventually gave me the sweetest grins at the end of our session. I'm so glad I could capture them during one of their last trips as a family of three because baby number two will arrive in just a few months (seriously, mom had the cutest bump!).
