NC Beach Photo Sessions

I am in traveling mode! I just got back from a long weekend in Dallas- hanging out with my family, photographing my nephews every move! My oldest nephew who is 11 had two School of Rock Concerts- The theme was indy rock- It was so great! I will post photos as soon as I get all of my old-school film developed!

I am heading to NC beaches for the next two weekends. I will be in Kitty Hawk and Atlantic Beach over Memorial Day weekend and still have some spcae available, and will be in Wrightsville Beach the following weekend- with two openings left. Over the 4th of July I will be back in the Atlantic Beach/Emerald Isle. area. Please call or email with any questions, and check out my website for samples of my work at the beach. www.elizabethgalecke.com

Photographing on the beach is always a challenge, with wind, sand, bugs, waves crashing- but the results are so worth it! I love it and can’t wait to get started this season! Plus, it is just nice to get into a new place- check out my favorite local shops and eateries and see old friends. My friend Lynn, who owns Ziabird in Wilmington is celebrating her 1st anniversary! Last summer my polaroid transfers were her opening exhibit- I can’t believe how fast it has gone!

I hope you all have a great holiday weekend!

Sunrise on the beach!

Yesterday morning my alarm woke me up at 4:30am to get to my sunrise photo shoot in Emerald Island. Yikes, it was EARLY! Is is never easy getting up that early, but once I got on the road, wind in my hair, and met my  two year old client who was beaming at 6 in the morning- you know you are in for a good day! She had tons of ringlets cascading in her face- and a smile I couldn’t wait to capture on film. We went to the beach and the light was incredible too! I am so excited to see what I got on film- I need to get permission first, but I hope to post some of the photos when they are in.

Making photographs at the beach has its challenges… bugs, rain, wind, humidity, heat, open space for children to run,(away from you) waves crashing…hampering communication- It all can be really tough- especially at 6 in the morning! But some days everything is just easy, and that just rocks! Now that I am thinking about it…I have had a wonderful week this week- everyone has been amazing to work with. Other than the rain this week- it has been perfect- amazing cool nights and mornings, low humidity, and a small breeze to take away the bugs. And the best part…wonderful, sweet, clients. Thank you!

I am in Beaufort, NC this week photographing families and children on the beach at Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle. It is gorgeous here, only 80 degrees and a little cloudy today. We may have some rain today and tomorrow, but hopefully not enough to cancel shoots. We have a few more openings available if anyone is interested!
