Another great family, staying in Corolla this summer. We had a solid week of afternoon showers, but the whole family were troopers. It started to sprinkle as soon as we started our pictures. We all had a laugh as they said to just keep going. Wouldn’t you know that it quit raining, and we were able to finish out the session with some great lighting. It’s not often that I get a family without little children, and I take full advantage of having subjects who actually look at me when I take their picture.

I had the opportunity to photograph this great family at their house in Duck. We had some dark clouds looming on our session, and felt the need to really make it fast. We got through the whole session and back to the house JUST as the sky let out. It was a pretty quick rain storm and we were able to get a few more shots of the beautiful evening sky after the rain stopped.

I’m playing a little catch-up here on the blog. It’s been a busy (and great!) summer season so far. I’ve had a lot of great families, and this one was no exception. We had a great session at Coquina Beach in South Nags Head. The afternoon provided some great lighting and some awesome shots.

Soft Light + Big Kids + Great Parents = One great session!
I’m pretty sure this was the start of our “iffy” week of weather. Our session was pretty overcast with strong wind, and thankfully we were shooting at one of my favorites spots in South Nags Head. Nicole has a great family, willing to do whatever I asked. Because of the wind, we utilized several spots of the beach to try and eat as little sand as possible.

I’m going to apologize to these 5 kids right off the bat. Why you might ask? Because I made them get up for a 7am beach portrait session……on vacation! Yes, I know…bad me. They were all troopers, and willingly headed out to the beach for their pictures. Their session was a gift for grandma, since we all know how rare it is to have all the grandkids in one place at the same time. Usually morning sessions tend to be a bit more “subdued” as people have just woken up – not this one. We had a case of the attack bee. All the parents insisted it was a just a bug, but I’m not so sure. It buzzed around us for most of the pictures near the water. Finally it flew away and we were able to finish our session. They were a great group of kids, and I’m glad I was able to fit them in during their vacation. They stayed down in Avon, NC and had some great scenery for their pictures. Hatteras Island is known for it’s beautiful beaches, and with much fewer cottages built right up on the ocean, you’ll be able to see why.

I met up with Ronald and his family in South Nags Head for some family portraits – OBX style – on what might have been our last sunny day for a week. They were a great family with a couple of super cute kids! Wide open beaches and plenty of over-wash make for some great portraits.

Karen & Fred celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary in Corolla with the help of their family and friends. Their wonderful friend Rebekah decided to set up a portrait session with me as an anniversary gift – and I’m so glad they did. They were a really fun group to hang out with, and what a better way to celebrate your anniversary than at the beach? The focus of the session was for Karen and her family, but I wanted to make sure everyone got a little something so I also got to work with the rest of the group too.

I had a wonderful time with this family at their rental cottage in Corolla. They had probably one of the coolest sessions….literally. We had a cold front come through a couple days beforehand, leaving us with really great weather.
What a great looking family!
Bet you didn’t know you had a Kung Fu fighter in the family?
Anyone who has ever had a sibling (or been the parents of siblings) knows until one of them gets a drivers license, it can be difficult to get them together.
What? You mean we have to TOUCH during our picture?? Yeah, I remember many car trips with me screaming to mom from the backseat that my brother even had the nerve to look at me.
With the help of some crazy jumping and funny faces by mom and dad, brother and sister actually sat together for a few pictures

Not too long ago I had the privilege of shooting this wonderful family at their rental cottage in Southern Shores. As luck would have it, it was probably one of the hottest days we’d had so far – at it was HUMID. On the plus side, a storm was looming, which resulted in some wonderful soft light. They were troopers, and such a cute family! Their two little ones were adorable, and like with most siblings, little sister didn’t want her photo taken with big brother. Just wait until he’s the one with the drivers license and she wants a ride to see her friends. 
My favorite photos are usually without a doubt the candids, and these guys didn’t disappoint! No sooner than I got in my car to head home, the sky let out with probably the worst storm we’ve had thus far this year. I’m so glad I was able to finish up with this awesome family before the downpour.

We’ve been blessed with some beautiful (but windy!) weather lately here on the OBX. When this wonderful family first e-mailed me about coming down and needing portraits I just knew it would be a great session. Sherry and her family were the sweetest, most easy going group! It’s pretty common to have multiple generations vacation together here, and I love meeting all the new families throughout the summer.
We decided on my favorite spot in South Nags Head for their pictures, and I’m SO glad we did. One of the great things about this beach is the abundance of scenery and locations available. This is especially important on days like we had, where it was windy, and not from a good direction! The direction of the wind meant anytime we put the water in the background all the hair went flying. Luckily, my favorite beach didn’t disappoint and we were able to utilize the dunes as our background. After keeping the kids dry long enough, we ventured down to the waters edge at the end of our shoot when the waves (and wind!) didn’t matter anymore.
Thanks so much for a wonderful time!
