Sunset Beach Photographer: the last of the vacation photos ;)

LynchburgFamilyPhotographer

Our last morning of vacation, after packing up our house, we ran down to the beach for some family pictures.  In my opinion, you can never have enough! ;)  We are so thankful my grandma took us on this fun vacation for the week! So fun to have her on the east coast from Arkansas! 

We are acclimating back to real life. Emmie keeps asking to "go back to her beach house." haha don't we wish!

Sunset Beach Photographer: little blue bikini

Emmie sure loves her little blue bikini, and since she can't wear it to the pool we go to (one pieces only!) she wanted to wear it every single day at the beach! I was not going to argue! How cute is it?! 

 

These are some shots from another early morning, right before a storm was coming in, so the beach was even more peaceful! The gray moody skies totally got me! ;)  Emmie was SO brave this trip and wanted to "get into the big water" with me or Michael the entire time!

Sunset Beach Photographer: Our Vacation

LynchburgFamilyPhotographer

We had the best time on vacation in Sunset Beach, North Carolina a few weeks ago! We have been going to Sunset Beach for the past few years and feel that it is our little secret! We were so excited to be including my family this year! I took so many photos I'll be sharing them over the next few weeks! 

Emmie has this belief, if the sun is awake, she needs to be awake too. She thinks she is missing out on something apparently.  Luckily, a thing called blackout curtains exist and she sleeps until about 8:00am at home.  We didn't, however, pack those curtains for our beach vacation! (I am considering adding those to the list for next year!)  Emmie woke up about 6am every morning! But, to make the most of it, I grabbed my cup of coffee, camera, and took my sweet girl to the beach.  

There's something so peaceful about the beach in the morning. Practically no one is there, everything is clean and quiet! It's almost worth the lack of sleep... almost ;) 

Stay tuned for more photos from our beach vacation! Or you can, of course, follow along on instagram with the hashtag #sunsetbeachcation!

The Shaneck Family was so fun to photograph! Have I ever mentioned how much I love my job?! These kids were SO well behaved! I couldn't believe it! I swear they must have bribed them with something good! ;)  They are expecting baby number 4 in just a few weeks... can you believe she is due in a few weeks?!
