Family Beach Portraits Sneak Peek | Charlotte Lifestyle Photographer

My family loves to vacation at Isle of Palms in South Carolina.  We go as often as we can … which is not often enough.  We usually stay at Wild Dunes Resort but there are many gorgeous homes and condos to rent outside of the resort area and on surrounding islands like Sullivan’s Island.  I love lazy days on the beach and honestly crave being near the water, so when I can marry photography with my love of the beach, it’s heaven.  The soft colors of the sand, the water and the light – I love it all.

Some days I’m lucky enough to have clients on the beach too – vacation makes for lots of happy families and adorable kiddos! Just look at this great family’s sneak peek. The weather was touch and go all day and the wind was pretty wild at times, but we pulled off an amazing session.  Mom was the stylist and as you can see, she’s pretty darn good at it.  I knew the turquoise accents would pop against all the natural beachy blues in the sky and the water.  I loved everything about this session and getting to work with clients who are also great friends is always a bonus.  We all went into Charleston for dinner after the shoot.

I book several vacation sessions per year based on client proximity to my vacation destination. Current clients get first notice of availability. If you are traveling during spring break, summer vacation and/or the holidays and would like a family beach photography session, please call me. I usually jump at the chance.

Welcome to my blog! I’m a child and family photographer based in Charlotte NC.

 

Parents always ask, “what if my kid doesn’t listen?” My answer: that’s actually perfect. Don’t tell your children I said so, but personalities shine when listening ears fail. I welcome the silly. I want the giggles. I watch for honest smiles, real connections and stolen family moments.

 

This applies to your big kids and high school seniors too. Wink, Wink.
