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!

T. Family | Kure Beach Family Photographer

This gorgeous family all met up in Kure Beach and wanted to capture this special time together. As you can probably tell, the sweet grandbabies stole the show! After we got a few “posed” portraits out of the way, I had the little ones play as everyone else interacted with them organically. The last photo of this session is one of my absolute favorites of all time!

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:

K. Family | Bald Head Island Photographer

This evening on Bald Head Island was absolutely beautiful! We had some amazing golden light (optimal starting time is about an hour before sunset to get the perfect lighting) and of course, a super photogenic and fun family!

The K. family reached out to get some updated family portraits during their vacation on Bald Head Island. BHI is one of my favorite local spots because it’s nice and secluded. Even during peak tourist season, it’s easy to find a quiet spot on the beach away from anyone else. And of course, the lighthouse “Old Baldy” had to make an appearance.
