This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful family on their yearly vacation to North Topsail Beach, NC. The girls have grown up so much and really seemed to warm up to me almost immediately this time! They were so sweet collecting shells during the session and generously gifting them to their Mom and Dad… and even the crazy photographer lady! I’m pretty sure Dads pockets were completely full of little treasures by the end of our shoot! The beach is such a wonderful, relaxed setting for family portraits. There are so many ways to get creative and explore- and plenty of fun things to keep children interested and engaged during the portrait session. We were even able to squeeze in some great photos of just Mom and Dad as the little ladies played on their own in the sand. Until next time! <3
