Outer-Banks-Mommy-and-Me-photo-session-with-birds-Nags-Head-NC-family-photographer As an Outer Banks family photographer, I see families in all sizes and groupings. There are young families of three with newborns all the way to big family reunions that include everyone from small grandchildren to a couple on their 50th anniversary trip. My favorite thing to photograph asides from toddlers and small children in any photo group at all… are the intimate relationships between two or three individuals. When it comes to intimate bonds, I don’t think much is stronger than between a mom and her child (son or daughter)! When you add three generations to the mix (in this case, grandma), it is even more special. I had the pleasure of photographing three generations of lovely ladies at the beach in Nags Head recently and it may be one of my very favorite photo sessions ever.

Lauren brought her adorable daughter Sadie Jo “pickle” and her absolutely lovely Mother-in-law to the photo shoot. I love that they had a special girls only vacation and that she chose to document those special relationships. Sadie Jo brought her cute little stuffed bunny friend. I even took a photograph of just bunny because it was special to her…and I think a lovie is worth remembering. Hundreds of birds came out to play and flew overhead, which made it an even more magical evening. Did I mention they knocked the “what to wear” to a family beach photo session out of the park? I always send my clients inspiration on what to wear to a photo shoot. Check out this board I created on Pinterest for some ideas on how to coordinate outfits: What to Wear: Inspiration on Pinterest I usually mention that flowy dresses and materials work well on camera at the beach. Lauren used a favorite dress of her daughter’s to build around and found her amazing flowy dress for a song on Amazon of all places. Can you believe it??? I might have to send all my clients there for online clothes shopping from now on.

Named Best Photographer of the Beach in the Outer Banks of NC? Thanks to everyone who voted for studio nassetta photography!

Well, there is no denying it, I did not keep up with any kind of blogging for the past year. I always have the best of intentions..but many of you know how it goes when you are trying to keep up with two young kids and being a girl boss at the same time. While I still intend to go back and blog a few favorite sessions from the past year, I figured I’d pick a “few” highlights of the year. Of course, going through all of my sessions and picking out the top ones is like telling someone to choose their favorite child. Pretty impossible to do..so I just went for it and still left plenty out of the mix. I’m already having regret to leave out so many. I might have to do a “best of” personal photography blog next. I thought this first image was good for a “looking back” post. It’s a favorite local family’s kids looking out to the ocean. Looking back or looking forward? I think it works both ways.

In the past year I have photographed numerous families, a business, and a few weddings ranging all over the Outer Banks of North Carolina the way from Corolla, Duck, Southern shores, Kitty Hawk, Nags Head Woods, and the beaches Nags Head NC. I even had one destination photo shoot up in the historic battlefields of Manassas Virginia at the very end of year. I am always willing to travel to more exotic destinations like Hawaii (hint hint). Heck, I’d even take Charlottesville, VA. I was also highly honored this year being named “Best of the Beach” for 2016 in the Outer Banks of NC. https://outerbanksvoice.com/2016/11/04/and-now-the-winners-of-2016s-best-of-the-beach-polling/ Thank you to all who voted and have supported me through out the years..I cannot tell you what it means to me!

Without further ado – here are some of my favorites from 2016. You will recognize many photographs if you follow studio nassetta on facebook..but there are a few that you probably have not seen. I have noticed that many of my favorites involve sweet little girls. Maybe that’s because I’m always photographing my own two crazy little boys and it’s so much fun to have a change of pace and capture a girl and her tutu! I also noticed that many of my favorites happen to be black and white. Usually I tend to edit photos in black and white to highlight the expression in the photo and let it stand on it’s own without distraction. It’s a personal artistic preference..but I just love a good black and white photograph. Unless it’s a gorgeous pink tutu with a flower crown. Then it’s color all the way…

What are your favorites? I’d love to know!
