Road Trip - Myrtle Beach Family Portraits - Lunde Family

We just got home from an awesome, relaxing vacation in Myrtle Beach. My mom and dad wanted to get everyone together to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary (which was in April) so we all decided to meet up in Myrtle Beach, where we all rented a condo for the week. We had a blast and spent most of the week in the water or on the beach.

Here are a few photos of our 3 beautiful nieces having fun at the beach and pool:

Since this was the first time in many years that my siblings, my parents, and I (and our families) were all in one place, Jason and I suggested that we all do some family portraits together on the beach. Let's just say we have a new appreciation for what our customers must go through in organizing one of these large family photo shoots!

It was a little different than our usual beach portrait, because the sun doesn't set over the water there - it was setting behind all the tall condos and hotels. Those tall buildings gave us a huge shaded area to work with and we were able to take longer than a usual shoot to do these photos.

Here are some of our favorite shots:

My parents with their 3 granddaughters:

My parents with each of their kids (and our families):

Everybody together (yay for timers, remotes, and random people walking by!):

Individual family shots for my siblings:

My parents with all 3 of us kids:

Our next goal is to get Jason's family out to Siesta Key for photos so we can hang up both portraits in our home. We'll keep you posted on how that goes!
