Shields Family l Nags Head/Outer Banks Beach Portraits

I had the pleasure of photographing this love family for their Outer Banks Beach Portraits this summer. Let’s be honest, nothing is less cool to a teenage guy than having family portraits taken – on vacation no less! These guys were great sports and so cooperative – they made my job easy!.  We met at Coquina Beach in South Nags Head on what was an pretty overcast and breezy day.  One of the great things about Coquina Beach, aside from it’s beauty, is that it’s one of the few beaches that still has a dune line in tact. With so many homes built right on the ocean, the dunes are quickly eroding away. Coquina Beach is all maintained by the park service, and the dunes are really great for blocking the wind.
