Carolina Beach Family Photography

Planning Family Photos at Carolina Beach?

Your session includes guided family portraits, candid photographs, individual households, grandparents, children, couples, and the group combinations that matter most to your family.

Session Price $450
Session Length 25 minutes
Included 15 final edited images per family

Best Time

Most Carolina Beach sessions begin during the hour before sunset, when temperatures are cooler and the evening light is softer.

Where We Meet

We can meet near your vacation rental, a nearby beach access, the shoreline, or another agreed location that works well for your family.

Every Family Included

We’ll photograph the full group, each immediate family, grandparents with grandchildren, siblings, couples, children, and requested combinations.

Planning Help

I’ll help with clothing, timing, parking, meeting instructions, and the family combinations you want photographed before your session.

Candid and Guided

I’ll guide everyone through the portraits, then create space for walking, playing, conversation, and natural interaction between family members.

Choose Your Favorites

You’ll select your favorites through a private proof gallery. Additional final edited photographs are available for $15 each.

Sunrise sessions are also available for families who prefer cooler weather, fewer people on the beach, or an earlier schedule with young children.
