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:
This sweet family of four visited Oak Island and I had the honor of photographing them during their vacation. The two girls and their parents were absolutely beautiful and so sweet! Our session took place at the Oak Island Pier, which is a wonderful location, especially at golden hour (the hour before sunset, when there’s nice golden light) ☀️ We got some photos of all four of them, as well as the girls with mom/dad, sisters together, and then individual shots of each girl ❤️
The S. family was such a sweet group to photograph! I met them during their vacation on Oak Island, which is my hometown, so it’s always so fun to have sessions there! Of course, the two beautiful daughters/granddaughters were the stars of the show and they were big fans of the beach. It had rained the entire day and then cleared up right before our session, so we got a gorgeous cotton candy sky as our backdrop.
Here are some of my favorites from my time with this precious family:
This gorgeous extended family contacted me for updated portraits while they were all vacationing on Oak Island together. The H. family consisted of grandparents with their three adult children and their families, including five grandchildren under 10 years old. They were such a blast to work with and so photogenic! They also a wonderful job coordinating their outfits- I typically suggest choosing a few colors that complement each other, without being super matchy, and I think they nailed it!
As with all my extended family sessions, we got whole group photos as well as each individual family, grandparents with grandchildren, sibling shots, etc ❤️
Extended family sessions have a special place in my heart! So often, the families I meet are separated by several states and meet up at the beach for a vacation. Sometimes, it’s been months or even years since they’ve all been together. They reach out for a session to document this time and these special memories. I always feel honored to play a small part in their time at the beach!
The J. Family consisted of grandparents, three adult children/spouses, and five grandchildren. They were such a sweet, fun group to photograph and the absolute cutest kids (shout out to the tractor that had to make an appearance with a certain three year old!).
