As a coastal North Carolina native (I was raised on Oak Island), I love meeting families who come to the area for vacation! Since 2015, I’ve photographed over 500 families who have traveled to our local beaches. Many times, grandparents come for a week with their adult children, grandchildren, and maybe even a pet or two. Your family members might be spread apart across the country and the week at the beach is such a special time to have everyone together. Maybe you have young children and you want adorable photos of your babies playing on the beach and updated family portraits. I’m a mom of four little ones myself and I know how quickly they grow (and I promise to make the experience enjoyable for everyone- I’m no stranger to chaos or toddler meltdowns!). I even have many groups I’ve seen multiple times over the years and it makes my heart so happy to watch your families grow each summer! And of course, families of all types are welcomed and celebrated in front of my camera 🏳️‍🌈👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏿👨🏻‍🦽

I'd love to connect with you and create beautiful images to document your family in such gorgeous locations as the beaches of southeastern NC. I only book a limited number of sessions each week to ensure we can reschedule if needed due to weather, so reach out soon! If you're traveling to Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Oak Island, Bald Head Island, Holden Beach, or Ocean Isle Beach, click here to book your session and scroll down to check out some recent families!
