Sunset Beach, North Carolina: Our Vacation (part 2!)

I'm back sharing photos from the 2nd half of our vacation, where we had some friends join us out at Sunset Beach, NC! We had so much fun- the girls went down to Myrtle Beach to shop at the outlets for a day, and then guys went off golfing- and we spent lots of time out at the beach! The kids had a blast- Emmie has been asking me to go back every day since we've returned! 

Ashley Eiban is Wedding & Portrait Photographer in Central Virginia- but available for travel worldwide- including Sunset Beach and surrounding areas! I love Sunset Beach, North Carolina SO much and it would be a dream to shoot a wedding there! Contact me for more information! 

Sunset Beach Photographer: little blue bikini

Emmie sure loves her little blue bikini, and since she can't wear it to the pool we go to (one pieces only!) she wanted to wear it every single day at the beach! I was not going to argue! How cute is it?! 

These are some shots from another early morning, right before a storm was coming in, so the beach was even more peaceful! The gray moody skies totally got me! ;)  Emmie was SO brave this trip and wanted to "get into the big water" with me or Michael the entire time!

Sunset Beach Photographer: Our Vacation

We had the best time on vacation in Sunset Beach, North Carolina a few weeks ago! We have been going to Sunset Beach for the past few years and feel that it is our little secret! We were so excited to be including my family this year! I took so many photos I'll be sharing them over the next few weeks! 

Emmie has this belief, if the sun is awake, she needs to be awake too. She thinks she is missing out on something apparently.  Luckily, a thing called blackout curtains exist and she sleeps until about 8:00am at home.  We didn't, however, pack those curtains for our beach vacation! (I am considering adding those to the list for next year!)  Emmie woke up about 6am every morning! But, to make the most of it, I grabbed my cup of coffee, camera, and took my sweet girl to the beach.  

There's something so peaceful about the beach in the morning. Practically no one is there, everything is clean and quiet! It's almost worth the lack of sleep... almost ;) 

Stay tuned for more photos from our beach vacation! Or you can, of course, follow along on instagram with the hashtag #sunsetbeachcation!
