Big or Small, Your Family Portrait Should Be a Fun, Unforgettable Experience
Planning a beach portrait session while you’re in Corolla or Duck, NC? Here’s something you might not hear enough: it’s supposed to be fun!
A lot of people worry that a portrait session will feel stiff, stressful, or overly posed. But when you choose the right photographer—someone who knows how to keep things relaxed and joyful—it can be one of the most memorable parts of your Outer Banks vacation.
I’m Bruce Lorenz, a Certified Master Photographer based right here in Corolla, and I’ve had the honor of photographing families of all sizes for over 40 years.
Yes, I specialize in large extended families, and I’ve worked with groups as big as 50+ people. But I also love capturing the magic of smaller families—whether it’s a couple celebrating an anniversary, a new family of three, or a group of five who just wants to freeze this chapter of life before it speeds by.




Every Family Has a Story—Let’s Celebrate Yours
Whether you’re searching for the best photographer in Corolla NC, OBX photographers, or family photographer Corolla NC, you’ll find lots of people offering quick sessions on the beach. But here’s what makes my approach different:
- Every session is tailored to fit your family—big or small.
- We’ll choose the perfect beach access spot together.
- I keep the atmosphere relaxed, light, and fun—no forced smiles, just real connection.
- I offer gentle guidance so everyone looks great without looking posed.
You’ll leave your session not just with beautiful images, but with a great memory of laughing together, playing in the sand, and soaking up that Outer Banks sunset.
