Golden Mile Family Photographer in Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina · An extended family session in white and cream

The Golden Mile is one of the prettiest stretches of beach in Myrtle Beach for family photos. It is lined with beach homes rather than large hotels, so the backdrop stays simple: soft sand, tall dune grass and the ocean. Here is an extended family session I photographed there, with three generations dressed in white and cream.

Beach Family Photos on Myrtle Beach's Golden Mile

Without towers behind you, Golden Mile family photos feel calm and natural. The dunes here are thick with sea oats and greenery, which makes a lovely frame for group photos, and the open beach in front gives everyone room to walk, sit in the sand and play by the water. Families staying in a home along this stretch can often walk right out for their session.

Three Generations in White and Cream

This family coordinated in white, ivory and soft cream, which looked bright and timeless against the pale sand and green dunes. We started with the whole group by the dune grass, then photographed the grandparents with their baby granddaughter, the young family on their own and a few quiet moments between dad and his little girl. We finished down by the waves, where the soft evening light made everything glow.
