Family Beach Photos at Cherry Grove Point in North Myrtle Beach
If you're planning a large family vacation in North Myrtle Beach, there’s nothing better than capturing everyone together while you're all in one place, and the Fillmore family session at Cherry Grove Point was the perfect example of that.
This sweet, close-knit family made our job easy. From the moment we started, you could feel how connected they all were, and that always shows in the photos.
Why Cherry Grove Point is Perfect for Large Family Photos
Cherry Grove Point is one of my favorite locations for large family beach sessions in North Myrtle Beach, and sessions like this show exactly why.
Wide open space (perfect for big groups)
Beautiful dunes that add texture and depth
Soft, glowing sunset light
Incredible reflections along the shoreline
For larger families, having room to spread out makes a huge difference, both for posing and for creating a relaxed, natural feel.
Variety is Everything in a Large Family Session
This is where sessions like this really shine.
In one session, we were able to capture:
The full family together
Individual couples
Sibling groupings
Individual portraits
Candid walking shots
That variety gives you a gallery that feels complete, not just one “everyone look at the camera” photo, but a full story of your time together.
What to Wear for Beach Family Photos
The Fillmore family absolutely nailed their outfits.
They chose:
Soft neutrals
Light blues
Flowy dresses
Coordinated (but not matching) tones
This creates a clean, timeless look that works beautifully with the natural beach colors.
Tip: Avoid super bold colors or heavy patterns, soft tones always photograph best at the beach.
The Best Time for Family Photos in North Myrtle Beach
This session took place at sunset, and you can see why that’s my top recommendation.
Softer light
Cooler temperatures
That golden glow everyone loves
For large families especially, sunset tends to be more predictable and comfortable for everyone.
