Leonard Family Photos at the Beach`

I was so delighted when my cousin Carolyn asked me to photograph her family during our annual extended family trip to the Outer Banks! I can’t believe it’s been three years since the last time they got in front of my camera and seven since their wedding! It was definitely time to update portraits to include sweet Charlotte!

Look at this happy family! :)

This little path is part of their route to the beach each day during our time in Duck. :)

The kids were excited to walk over the dunes…

It’s always an honor to watch through the lens as families grow, but it’s even more special when they’re my cousins. Thanks for getting in front of my camera again, Leonards! :)
