Early in the morning shortly after sunrise, or late in the evening about an hour before sunset. These are the best times for lighting.

We highly recommend Coquina beach access in Nags Head. This location is quintessential Outer Banks! With a stunning dune line filled with sea oats, there are no houses at this beach access giving your photos a very natural vibe. We also travel to Corolla for our northern OBX vacationers. We can use whatever beach access is closest to where you’re staying.

Unfortunately, we DO NOT travel to the 4x4 region of Carova. However, we are always willing to meet you at the northern most public access in Corolla.

We always recommended just dressing as yourself. Comfortable clothing that looks like something you would normally wear! Photography sessions are not a time for fashion experiments!! It’s always safe to wear something that you feel confident in! Traditional khaki & white are not recommended as it blends with the background. No graphic tee’s with loud our big logos! Band shirts, novelty shirts, wolves howling at the moon shirts, etc… not recommended.

We want this to be a fun and enjoyable experience for your family, so we ask that you PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY PERSONAL CAMERAS OR CELL PHONES!

Transitional lenses look like sunglasses and do not translate well into professional photographs. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR TRANSITIONAL PRESCRIPTION LENSES BEHIND. We will not “photoshop” your transitional lenses to look like normal glasses. We also will not have time to do some photos with and with out your transitional lenses.

Keys, sunglasses, phones, baby toys, snacks, etc... We will not hold or keep any of your personal items in our camera bags.

Both! Your session includes digital images but you may also order high-quality prints through your gallery.
