One of the things I love most about being a photographer in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina is that North Topsail Beach is just 5 minutes from my house. I can go running on the beach, spend an hour or a day there, or make a spur-of-the-moment sunset excursion on the beach. It’s a great spot for family vacations, as well, and a perfect place for family pictures!
North Topsail Beach is where I met this sweet family for their photography session. What a blast we had! I was SO impressed with these kids and how they waited patiently until all the posed pictures were finished and we could spend a little time just playing in the surf. I love to include candid pictures in all my family photography sessions, and I always suggest some sort of fun activity so we can really see the personality of each individual in the family. This family portrait session on North Topsail Beach was no different. Playing in the surf brought out the best in the boys, but it also brought a few tears when the little girl’s dress got wet in the waves. I see in these pictures the sweet innocence and magic of childhood as well as the love and security of family. Beautiful memories!
