McAbee Extended Family Session


It was amazing to reunite with the McAbee's for our first ever extended family photo session down in Sea Isle City, NJ. The weather looked like it was going to hold out for us until it decided it wasn't going to anymore. At the start of our time together the rain drops started to fall. This group listened amazingly as we tried to capture as many pictures as we could before we were all soaked. Because of their listening skills we were able to get some amazing shots before we were all completely soaked through.


Even through the rain everyone brought their smiles & wonderful attitudes. The kids had a blast running around the beach, goofing around with their cousins. Julianne & her sisters, Jeanine & Justine, had the idea of making cousins shirts for all of their kids. Their numbers go in birth order & I hope this becomes a trend for them every year! Peek below for some photographs for our session.
