A Myrtle Beach Family Portrait Session at Huntington Beach State Park – A Momma and her Boys

I believe every Mom should have a photo session done with just her and her babies when they are old enough to interact with but still young enough to be carefree children.  I did a session with Carrie Geddie Photography in Raleigh, NC last year and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done!  That bond between Mother and Child is so amazing – and that’s what I was hoping to do with this session for Alyce and her boys.

I have know Alyce and Todd since before they were married.  They came to visit Myrtle Beach all the way from snowy Michigan.  They had originally booked me to be their wedding photographer in Charleston but decided to elope to the Islands for their simple, yet beautiful, wedding.  The next time I saw them they brought their 1st born  (who just happens to be a few months younger than my youngest 😉 and we got to do their 1st family session at the beach.  A few years later they brought their 2nd little monster down to the beach.  Let me tell you, these 2 little monkeys are the definition of spirited!  I missed them last year as they didn’t come to the beach but this year Alyce came with just the boys, Dad was hard at work back home.  This was one of my favorite sessions this this family – just the boys and their Mom (no offense Todd, we love you too and look forward to seeing you next year ;).

Huntington Beach State Park is where we do their photo’s every year, so it holds a lot of sentimental value as it was where we did their engagement photo’s all those years ago.  These 2 boys are a handful – but super fun to photograph!  You never know what your going to get!   You can tell by the multitude of expressions, these boys love to play!  My favorite image is the one where we were about 3/4’s of the way through and both boys had had enough.  So they decided to drape themselves over Mom and under her sweater so as to act invisible and maybe the mean ole’ camera lady wouldn’t see them.  I’ve got news for them – I have the ability to see invisible children.  Why?  Because I’m a Mom 😉
