Getting the whole family together in one place isn’t easy—especially when “home” is scattered across the country.

With everyone in town for only a brief window, we made the most of the crazy coastal weather, and the purple and blue skies gave us a truly one-of-a-kind backdrop for their Myrtle Beach family photos. No one was bothered by the light rain because they were simply standing in it together.

This wasn’t just a photo session. It was a memory. Beautiful, joyful chaos with kids running everywhere—wet, laughing, and completely in the moment. That’s what family photography in Myrtle Beach is really about: freezing a season of life that rarely happens all at once. How incredible it was to capture these moments for them to take back to every corner of the country.
