Photos Of Young Children And Families On The Beach In Corolla OBX

It’s funny how often people inquire and say they have babies or little ones so don’t think they’ll do well on a shoot. I literally hear this all the time. As someone who photographs primarily families, I can honestly say babies and especially toddlers enjoy the beach as much as anyone else and are always engaged, they give us so many moments of exploration, love, and genuine curiosity to watch unfold in our time together. If there was ever something I’d want to hold to, it would be that time.
Worried Your Little Ones Won’t Cooperate? Don’t Be.
As one of the most experienced Corolla photographers and a specialist in Outer Banks family portraits, I hear it all the time—“We have a baby or a toddler, so we’re not sure how well they’ll do in a photo session.”
Let me assure you: babies, toddlers, and young children are often the stars of the session.
In my 40+ years of photographing families—especially in Corolla, Duck, and throughout the Outer Banks—I’ve found that little ones are naturally drawn to the beach. The sand, the breeze, the waves—it’s all an adventure. And it shows. Whether they’re exploring seashells, clinging to Mom and Dad, or simply being themselves, young children give us some of the most genuine, love-filled moments you’ll ever see captured in a family portrait.
If you’ve been hesitant to book a session because your child is young—now is actually the perfect time. These are the moments you’ll want to hold onto forever.
