It has been a busy year, and I've just noticed that I haven't updated my website blog!

One of the best parts of summer for me is photographing families who gather for reunions and events here at the beach. A high school classmate contacted me because she and her cousins had decided to revive their tradition of annual reunions, and they all wanted beach portraits to commemorate the event. We gathered on the beach in Emerald Isle, which is the western end of Carteret County, and the rain storms from earlier in the day cleared up so that we could have an enjoyable evening on the ocean. Their smiles and laughter were priceless!
