Beach Family Photographer in Myrtle Beach
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina · Featuring the Branstrom family and a family session on the beach
Nothing says Myrtle Beach like family photos on the beach. The sand is soft and wide, the dunes and dune grass make a natural backdrop, and the evening light over the ocean can turn the whole sky pink and blue. Here are two families I photographed on the beach in the heart of Myrtle Beach.

Classic Beach Family Photos in the Heart of Myrtle Beach
A beach session is simple and relaxed. We can start in front of the dunes for your full family photos, sit together in the sand for a few cozy ones, and then head down to the water so the kids can splash and run. Families staying near the beach can usually walk right out for their session.
Families I Have Photographed on the Beach in Myrtle Beach
The Branstrom Family · 47th Avenue North
The Branstrom family wore light blue and white, with the girls in matching blue patterned dresses. We started under a sprawling live oak and along a shady path, then moved to the beach at 47th Avenue North for photos by the dunes. As the sun went down, the sky turned soft pink, and we finished with family walks along the water and portraits of each of the girls.

A Family of Four on the Beach
This family of four dressed in white, cream and light blue, with a straw sun hat for their little girl. We began in front of the dunes and sat together in the sand, then let the kids wander and play. By the water, brother and sister shared a sweet moment in the surf, and the whole family splashed in the shallows before a last walk along the shoreline.
