"I've never seen them warm up to someone so quickly!"

Anna smiled as her little ones grabbed my hands, giggling as we walked to the next spot in the park. She had been so overwhelmed at the thought of family photos with two energetic kids, unsure how it would all go. But as the session unfolded, she let go. Her kids were happy. They had even shared a spontaneous hug—unscripted, unprompted—just being their sweet, silly selves.

I see you, mama. You’re holding everything together in your household, juggling schedules, wiping tears, sharing laughs, and making sure your kids feel all the love in the world. In the middle of the chaos, its easy to forget to slow down and soak in these moments. That’s where I come in. 8 years of experience as an elementary school teacher prepared me for this. Bring on the kiddos, bring on the chaos.

As your OBX photographer, I know how much you want to remember this season of life-however messy or busy it may be. Your family’s story deserves to be seen and cherished, not just someday, but now. Let’s create images that capture your family’s beautifully imperfect moments, ones you’ll hold onto forever. Let's plan that picture perfect OBX family photography session today!
