Family Photographer in Myrtle Beach, SC
I’m Kristina, and I love capturing families exactly as they are: the giggles, the hugs, the little moments in between. Let’s make photos you’ll want on your walls for years.
Myrtle Beach Family Photos and Portraits
A few favorite moments from families I’ve photographed along the Grand Strand.
Browse Family Sessions by Location
From quiet state park trails to wide-open beaches, see real family sessions at my favorite spots across the Grand Strand.
Large and Extended Family Photography on the Grand Strand
Grandparents, cousins, everyone together in one place: these sessions are some of my very favorites. I’ll keep things organized and relaxed so we get the big group shot and the smaller family groupings, without anyone feeling rushed. From the big group shot to portraits of each household, everyone goes home with family portraits they’ll love.
Where We Shoot: Family Photo Locations in Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand
Every spot I photograph has its own feel, and part of planning together is picking the one that fits your family best. Some families love the shade and texture of old oaks, some want nothing but sand and sky, and plenty of families simply want photos right where they’re staying, with everyone together for the week. Tell me what feels like you, and I’ll help you choose.
Myrtle Beach State Park
One park, two looks: we can wander under the oaks of the maritime forest for soft, leafy light, then walk out to the open sand and the fishing pier. With no hotels in the background, everything stays simple and natural. See sessions here.
Litchfield by the Sea
If your family is staying in this Pawleys Island community, the Spanish moss and sweeping live oaks make a dreamy frame for everyone, and the quiet private beach is only a few steps away. See sessions here.
Cherry Grove
Up in North Myrtle Beach, this wide stretch of sand with sea oats and dune grass gives little ones room to run and big groups room to spread out. See sessions here.
Your Beach Rental or Private Residence
For reunions and big family weeks, I come to you. We start right outside your door, so nobody has to buckle a toddler into a car seat, and everyone can head back inside as their photos wrap up. See sessions here.

The Best Time for Family Photos in Myrtle Beach
Most of my family sessions happen in the hour or so before sunset. The sun sits low, the light turns warm and soft on everyone’s faces, and you get that glowy, backlit look you see all through my gallery. It’s my favorite time to be on the beach with a camera.
If your little ones melt down by dinnertime, an early morning session is a sweet alternative. The beach is quieter, and we can plan around naps so the youngest people in your photos are happy and rested.
Summer brings long evenings and families gathered for a week together, so it fills up fast. Fall is a favorite of mine too, with milder evenings that make it easier for everyone to feel comfortable in coordinated outfits. Whatever the season, we’ll pick the timing together.
Why Families Choose Me as Their Myrtle Beach Family Photographer
I keep sessions easygoing so everyone, especially the little ones, can just be themselves. I’ll gently guide you into poses that look natural, then step back and let the real moments happen. Among Myrtle Beach family photographers, I’m a local who knows where the light is best and when to be there for it. Most of all, I want you to leave having had fun, and to love what you see when your gallery arrives.

Why Family Photography Matters
Kids grow up so fast, and the everyday chaos you’re living right now is the stuff you’ll miss most. Family photos hold onto it: tiny hands, big laughs, the way everyone leans in together. These are the pictures your children will treasure one day. And honestly, you deserve to be in them too. So often the parent behind the phone camera is missing from every family memory, and a session is your chance to finally step into the frame with the people you love most.
Myrtle Beach Family Photography FAQ
What should our family wear for photos?
Pick a soft color palette and let everyone wear something within it, rather than matching exactly. Whites, creams, blues, sage and gentle pastels all look lovely against the sand, the dunes and the oaks, and I’m always happy to help you plan outfits before your session.
How big of a group can you photograph?
Any size, from a family of three to a full reunion. My large family sessions have ranged from about 10 people to more than 45, and we work from the full group down to each household, the couples and the little ones.
Where do we meet for our session?
We’ll choose the spot together when we plan your session. It might be one of my favorite locations, like Myrtle Beach State Park or Cherry Grove, or the beach right outside your rental or private residence.
How do we receive our photos?
Your photos are delivered in a private online gallery, where you can view, download and share them with your family.
