The Montgomery Family on Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington, NC

July 17, 2019

I’ve posted before that my heart truly lies with weddings and seniors, BUT I have had the pleasure to work with a few families this summer and am loving it!

It’s been super convenient and fun that I live in a vacation town because while I hate the traffic in the summers, I LOVE that everyone is coming here to visit!

And what better time to capture photos of the whole family!

Payton gifted her mom family photos for Mother’s Day and then made a whole day out of pampering her mom, coming to Wilmington, and getting photos done at Wrightsville Beach!

We started at the Wrightsville Beach Park –– which is a little hidden gem with a ton of blooming flowers!

Then we headed to the south end of the island for our classic, beautiful beach photos. My FAVORITES!
