The Hatcher-Parsons family holds a special place in my heart!! I have been photographing this growing family since their sweet baby Nola was in her mama’s tummy and now they are a family of 5 with all little ladies JUST like me! When Amy asked me to do a Legacy session for her parents I jumped on the chance! When she told me she really had her heart set on doing it in Long Beach Island, I was already in my car ready to rock!

Long Beach Island is a magical place and photographing on that beach, around the dunes and the dead end beach streets is something that truly makes my heart sing. Now, add a red bench, a moveable hammock and a sunset and I am drooling all over the place like a fool.

Not only are their children beautiful but little Nola who’s favorite book is “On My Way to A Happy Life” by Deepak Chopra, has a personality and a sweetness that could make anyone melt. I am so thankful for our time together once again and am thrilled to have captured all of them in one of my favorite spots.

Here are some of my favorite highlights from our session!
