Atlantic Beach Adventure Session

Larissa + Zach

Atlantic Beach, NC Adventure Session

September 2020

I totally believe some of the best locations take a different route to get to, like by boat! Don’t you agree?

I was so excited to see Larissa and Zach again as I pulled up to the boat dock. It had only been a year! (Insert some serious sarcasm because a year is way too long!) In celebration of their one year anniversary, we went boating down the Intracoastal Waterway near Atlantic Beach. Larissa and Zach had chosen the most perfect little island for their session. As we pulled up to the island, I sat in awe watching Larissa running back and forth helping Zach to anchor the boat. And all in a dress, y’all! That’s some serious wifey goals!

We spent the rest of the evening exploring the island. There was lots of snuggling, dancing in the sand, and maybe a makeout session or two. What? They’re newlyweds!

Of course, we couldn’t end the session without super romantic water pictures. I am always so excited when my couples are up for getting down and dirty. But totally in like a PG way! I’m not that kind of photographer!

And, just when I thought their session couldn’t get any sweeter, it totally did!  As we were heading back to the dock, a pod of dolphins swam right by the boat! It was so precious seeing the excitement in Larissa’s face as the dolphins swam closer to us. Zach made sure to angle the boat so that Larissa could get a photo with the dolphins. Aren’t they the cutest?

Congratulations to these love birds on their first year as Mr. and Mrs. Liles. I cannot believe a year has flown by already!! I cannot wait to see what the rest of life has in store for y’all!

xoxo,

Jess

ABOUT Jess

That longing to hold onto everyday magic is what led me to photography. I’m drawn to the little things that often go unnoticed—the way excitement shows up in a child’s eyes, the comfort of being close, the feeling of togetherness that turns ordinary days into meaningful memories. When I’m not photographing families, you’ll find me thrifting for treasures, reading a good book, embroidering something by hand, soaking up beach days, or heading off on small adventures with the people I love most.

I approach each session with care and intention, focusing on connection rather than perfection. My goal is to create images that feel honest, warm, and deeply personal—photographs that allow you to return to this season again and again, remembering not just what it looked like, but how it felt.

Rooted in motherhood and shaped by my own journey into parenthood, I’m endlessly inspired by the quiet beauty of family life. I love slow mornings at home with my family—the kind filled with soft light, small rituals, and the tiny moments that send my daughter into fits of belly laughter. Those are the moments I wish I could freeze in time, the ones that remind me how fleeting and beautiful this season truly is.
