An open beach.
2 dogs who love to run.
A crisp morning.
I guess it’s no surprise we got some of this:
A lot of this:
And even a friendly pod of dolphins passing by:
But with a little patience and luck, we also got this:
ahhh… my work here is complete.
{M&J, thank you for a fabulous session!}

Lori’s extended family session in Garden City Beach outside their oceanfront beach home marked my last family beach session for the summer and it was a whopper – 20+ people, multiple tiny ones, a marine layer that decided to make an early appearance, and 2 brothers coming from North Myrtle Beach and caught in bad traffic. We went out with a BANG!
- Seriously Kimberly, I am in awe. How do you achieve such soft wonderful lighting on the beach?! Stunning work, as always. I love those little tootsies in the sand!
- Beautiful images!! That last one is fantastic for an unexpected place, perhaps in a kids' bath or in a hallway. LOVE 'em all.
- Beautiful families! I also looove the last one, I would definitely put that on my bathroom wall, very cute!
- KH you take the most amazing family portraits.
- Incredibly beautiful - the people, the posing, the lighting, the color, and the images!
- Oh, those little feet in the sand! Lovely family - lovely portraits!
- Just lovely lovely captures! such a great variety from family portrait to the individiual details of the little footsies in the sand. Simply stunning beach photography!
- ahhh that one of mom and babe is so classic...should be a painting.
- Wow! Your beach photos look like something in a storybook! These are so pretty!
- CUTERS!! :) I love shots of bare feet, and you do them perfectly! What a gorgeous fam!

- Absolutely stunning Kimberly! Your lighting is always so amazing and your clients always dress perfectly for the occassion!
- Stunning. I just love beach images. You captured them perfectly.

- Those large sessions are so hard. Looks like this one turned out very well. Great job.
I met Tracy and her family at the Sand Dunes Resort in Myrtle Beach which has been the location of several memorable sessions, and hers was no different! Four generations, a slightly inebriated audience that wanted to “help” pose and clear people out of the background, and impending storms made for a bit of a challenge – we all rose to the occasion and I’m looking forward to seeing Tracy next year with a little less… help. ;)
{Tracy, thanks for being such a good sport about our “helpers” and all of your sweet compliments about my work. xoxo}
- Well, I'd never guess from these images that you had any of those challenges! These are beautiful. LOVE that first one, I'm sure they'll treasure immages like these forever!
- Beautiful work Kimberly! What a lovely family too, I bet they are just thrilled with these!
- LOL! You definitely overcame any challenges as these images are beautiful!
- Gorgeous images of a beautiful family. That last shot of the mom is stunning. I am so jealous of these beautiful beach photos this family was lucky enough to have you shoot.
- Really beautiful shots, Kimberly! What a great looking family too. Have I told you lately how awesome your beach shots are? Cause they are. :)
- beautiful!
Ali’s family session just seemed to call for black and white so I thought I’d share those shots here on the blog… absolutely yummy. Here are a few from our evening at Huntington Beach State Park & Atalaya.
My second-favorite shot of the session is Ali alone. Pretty, pretty, pretty.
Definitely a great shot of a beautiful woman on a warm summer evening at the beach. {Facebook friends are going to love it!} So what does that leave for a favorite, you ask? This one.
{Ali, it was a blast hanging out with you and your family – and Dog. Thanks for making me a part of your vacation! }
- Just gorgeous Kimberly. I love your b&ws! And they go so wonderfully here.
- Sweet jebus, Kimberly... these are so beautiful! Your B&Ws are PERFECT!!! I love all of these shots!
- Just simply gorgeous and perfect beach portraits. I just adore your reflection captures, only you can do that so well!
- I agree, the image of mum on her own is just stunning. So many gorgeous captures Kimberly, yummy black and whites too. I adore that second shot with the reflections
- Cool location! I can see the reflection image as a large canvas on the wall.
- Lovely images Kimberly! I'm especially fond of the photo on the beach with the reflection, well done!
- so beautiful and classic. Love them all but that last one is spectacular.
- Wowsers, so many canvas-worthy images here! They have to be thrilled!
- Oh wow...your conversions are stunning!
- I agree with Pam. These would be amazing on Canvas. Your black and whites are perfect. Love them!
Elizabeth’s family has rented the same house on Litchfield Beach for years so it was the natural choice of locations for our extended family session.
- Thanks, Kimberly for a great session! The pictures are beautiful!!!

- What amazing images. That last one, it's just so fun and perfect and cool. The image with grandparents is just going to be the most treasured thing ever. You are amazing Kimberly.
- What fun!! I always enjoy the wonderful images you capture on the beach, beautiful work!
- That first shot took my breath away... I wish I had a shot of my grandparents surrounded by their grandchildren. It's so special. :)
- Love the fun, relaxed feel to this family series! They will be thrilled.
… but is First Grade ready for Mia?
Backpack contents: stack of papers for the school, one pack of Teddy Grahams, and one newly-beloved Magic Treehouse book. Yes, she’s discovered chapter books after avoiding them like the plague even though she was well above what she chose to read.
Happy first day, sweet girl!
{best of luck, Mrs. Marks and Miss Donna, LOL!}

Carolina Master Chorale Music Director and Conductor Dr. Tim Koch also needed his headshot updated for CMC’s new PR collateral so we returned to Atalaya, the setting for CMC composer-in-residence Dr. Andrew Fowler’s headshot session.
Tim is also the music director for First United Methodist Church in Myrtle Beach and an oceanfront real estate specialist with Century 21 Boling & Associates – yes, he’s a VERY busy man and you can read his extensive CMC bio HERE.
This is my favorite image of Tim from the session. We’ll call it Maestro at Rest.
- fantastic images! that first one is a spectacular example of what a headshot should be- relaxed, in a great, fitting environment, and with a great composition! :)
August and September calendars are now full, thanks to my fabulous clients! Since I always get emails and Facebook messages and voicemails when I blog without an image, here’s a snapshot of Mia today with a surprise she received from a special friend!
{Thanks again, John! You truly do rock my world!}
- Mia is such a cutie!!! Love that smile! :)
- cute :-) and yumm think she would share all those goodies?
- Mia is SUCH a cutiepie! Can I have her? I'll trade her for one hungry teenage boy, AKA Helmet Dave!! :)
- Hey Mia, care to share with your friend Lisa???? That looks like far too much "candy" for one little girl. She's gorgeous Kimberly
