B. Family | Bald Head Island Photographer

There’s not much cuter than three little girls and their baby brother all in matching outfits! The B. family spent a week on Bald Head Island and they took advantage of the gorgeous scenery for family portraits! We used a beach access with several beautiful locations, including being able to see Old Baldy Lighthouse in the background behind the dunes.

All of these kiddos were under six years old, so we had a fun time laughing and playing on the beach. As a mom of four myself, I know we usually have a limited window of time for short attention spans, so I try to get genuine smiles in a laid back environment.

Check out some of my favorites from my time with this sweet family!

C. Family | Holden Beach Family Photographer

The beautiful mother of this family was celebrating her 50th birthday at Holden Beach and her one request was a photo session with her adult children. They were one of the sweetest, most kind families I’ve met and I couldn’t wait to work with them! We had the best weather with gorgeous, golden hour light and we captured shots of everyone together, each couple, plus some fur babies!

G. Family | Ocean Isle Beach Photographer

This sweet family contacted me to take some updated family portraits to celebrate their daughter’s recent first birthday on their trip to Ocean Isle Beach! Little McKinley was absolutely obsessed with the beach. She loved the sand and splashing through the water. We got some great shots in the beautiful dunes as well as some candids of McKinley, her parents, and grandparents playing near the ocean. I dare you to look at her adorable face and not smile!

S. Family | Bald Head Island Photographer

I met this gorgeous family during their vacation on Bald Head Island and the golden hour vibes did not disappoint that evening! The S. family contacted me to get some updated portraits. Their kids were 9 and 3 (the sweetest siblings!) and were rock stars during the session. I know they made mom so happy, especially with some of the individual and sibling shots.

Bald Head Island has some of the best spots of our area beaches. It’s secluded and has amazing lighting and beautiful dune grass, which makes a super pretty backdrop.

K. Family | Oak Island NC Family Photographer

The K. family vacationed here this summer, visiting relatives near Oak Island.  They decided to update their family portraits before their daughter left for college in the fall. They were such a sweet, fun group to work with! It was HOT even right before sunset, but they handled it beautifully (and you can't tell we were almost all melting into the sand!). These are some of my favorites from their session:
