Multi Family Portraits at Wrightsville Beach


Planning a beach vacation with another family? Whether you're lifelong friends, multiple households traveling together, or several families celebrating a special occasion, a multi family portrait session is a great way to capture everyone together.


These sessions are designed for two or more families who want a mix of group portraits, individual family photos, and natural moments throughout the evening.

How long does a multi family portrait session take?
