We’re Daniel and Kate, photographers based on Hatteras Island, North Carolina. We’re drawn to the raw beauty of the place we call home and the people it brings into our lives. Their stories are honest, layered, and deeply human—it’s a privilege to photograph them.

This is our take on traditional beach portraits—easygoing, natural, and a lot of fun. Sessions run about 1–1.5 hours and work beautifully for groups of all sizes. We’ll guide you through relaxed, lightly posed portraits of every grouping you want, then shift into candid, beach fun. Think less standing still, more laughing, wandering, and being together by the water.

Our Documentary Sessions offer 3–6 hours of day-in-the-life coverage, capturing the real magic of your time at the beach—the beautiful, the messy, and everything in between. Think of it as having a family photographer along for your vacation, documenting the laughter, the quiet moments, and the joy as it naturally unfolds. Scheduled for early mornings or mid-afternoons through sunset, these sessions also include time for a relaxed, more traditional beach portrait experience.

These sessions are exactly what they sound like—short, sweet, and effortless. A 30-minute beach session designed for small groups of up to five people. We’ll begin with a few relaxed, lightly guided portraits, then let things unfold into easy, playful beach time. Ideal for small families and especially perfect at sunrise + sunset!

The whole rest of our Outer Banks trip, we talked about what amazing photographers you are! These are photos we will cherish forever
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us these memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives
The pictures are wonderful!! Thank you both so much. It’s so nice to work with you for something so near and dear to a mother’s heart
Thank you SO MUCH for these pictures. We are absolutely over the moon with them them. Those pics are [...] the perfect embodiment of what I hope their childhood feels like and how I hope they'll remember it."
The pictures are incredible. I imagine in 5-10 years I’ll look back to that day and still be able to hear the giggles, feel the salty breeze, and remember how sweet life is while your babies are still little. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for that.
