W. Family | Ocean Isle Beach Photographer

This gorgeous family of four spent some quality time at Ocean Isle Beach, one of my favorite local beaches! It had been raining most of the day, but cleared up just in time for our session. The two kids were such naturals and enjoyed both playing on the beach for candid shots and posing with mom and dad.

It’s such an honor to be a small part of so many families’ vacations and get to capture these special moments ❤️

T. Family | Ocean Isle Beach Photographer

This beautiful family traveled to Ocean Isle Beach for their beach vacation and I was honored to take some updated photos for them! The T. Family consisted of grandparents, three adult children/spouses, and three grandchildren (the little matching dresses were perfect!). I adore extended family sessions because of all of the connection I’m able to capture. I always try to get all the combos, such as the entire group, each individual family, grandparents with grandchildren, cousins together, adult siblings, etc.

Here are some of my favs from this sweet session:

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!

G. Gamily | Ocean Isle Beach Photographer

I met the G. family during their vacation on Ocean Isle Beach. As you’ll see, the main star of the show was the first grandchild of the family! Little Owen was just the most adorable toddler and such a ham for the camera!

One of the most common questions I receive when a family books a session is “what should we wear?!” I think this family did such an amazing job coordinating their outfits. I always suggest choosing 3-4 colors and instead of matching completely, coordinate within those colors. Limit patterned items and utilize solids to avoid clashing. Most importantly, find something you’re comfortable in!

L. Family | Ocean Isle Beach NC Family Photographer

I've had such a great time capturing extended families this summer. Many times, they told me that they all live states apart and only get together a few times a year. This is true for the L. family, who I met on Ocean Isle Beach. They even brought along the great grandmother (who was so proud of her little great granddaughters!). You can just feel the love in these images and I'm so glad I was able to provide updated portraits for this growing family.
