This past week, I was given the opportunity to travel to Corolla, NC and stay at this beautiful beach house. Nate and Krista were so kind to invite me to join them for  a couple of days during their summer vacation.  While I was there,  I spent time with Henry aka Hank and Priscilla aka Sissy who were the cutest little kids. Hank was two years old and Priscilla was 11 months.  I loved being able to get to know them and play with them while I was there.

We spent my first full day there by the beach. Both of the kiddos loved being in the ocean and getting sand everywhere possible! We packed our lunches and spent all afternoon soaking up the sun.  On my second day, we opted for a pool day instead! We let little George (bulldog puppy) play in the pool with us …but only in his adorable life vest that you’ll see pictured below.  The little ones dad, Jeremy, is a chef in California and I was lucky enough to have some of his meals while there.  In addition to yummy dinners every evening, I was also spoiled with wonderful breakfast and late night ice cream for dessert.

On the second day I was there,  we went down to the beach after dinner for  family photos of each of the groups.  I loved having the white sand and blue ocean as my background.  The lighting was to die for.. we went right before sunset and couldn’t have asked for more ideal settings.  The blog of my favorite family images will be up soon!

Overall, the couple of days I spent in Corolla were wonderful.  It was great to get to relax and soak up the sun but also to get to photograph on the beach. Thank you again to Nate and Krista for having me!
