Family First: Documenting Precious Memories in Sea Island, Georgia

As a full-service photographer who has photographed families in Sea Island for over a decade, I've witnessed no shortage of family vacations. But the ones that stand out the most are those rare get-togethers of extended family - grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins - all converging on our little coastal paradise.  Those - they are my favorites to photograph.

These days, with families often spread across countries and continents, it's a challenge to coordinate schedules and make time for a whole family get-together. But when it happens, you realize just how much you've missed each other and how important it is to savor these moments.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of photographing many multigenerational Sea Island family vacations. The images of happy kids running around the beach with their grandparents, full of laughter and connection, and the intimate portraits with three generations piled on a swinging bench or walking down the beautiful Sea Island Beaches.  These are the photos that will be treasured for decades to come.

That's why I always encourage families (and extended families!) on their Sea Island vacation to take full advantage of their precious time together and document it. Professional images have the power to transport you back to the memory and preserve it before time changes everyone.

For families looking to gather on Sea Island, I cannot recommend it enough for making memories. Whether you’re staying in the Cloister Hotel, the Sea Island Beach Club or even one of the Sea Island cottages, our miles of private, pet-friendly beaches, bike paths, and variety of vacation rental homes appeal to all ages. You have the recipe for the perfect extended family vacation.

If you're planning a major family get-together here, do consider reaching out to me about documenting it with beautiful portraits. I can also help you with creating the perfect framed wall gallery of your memories or a custom heirloom album for each family to keep and enjoy for decades to come.  Let's freeze the moments of your loved ones all being in one place - before the kids get any taller!
