This sweet extended family photo session was photographed at the Horton Point Lighthouse in Southold NY..

While vacationing on the North Fork this extended family decided to make some time for a family photo session. It  was a fun place for both of the families and their little boys (cousins) to visit.

I photographed several family formal configurations and then captured some candid moments  that involved water guns, bug hunting and bubbles.

After exploring the lighthouse grounds and the taking in the gorgeous view of the boats traveling across the Long Island Sound; we made our way down the lengthy staircase to sea level.

I highly recommend visiting this historic Long Island landmark.

Here are some of my favorites from their session.

This yellowjacket tried interrupting  this mother and son’s bubble blowing and I love how intently he locks eyes with the “pesty” pest as it flies away.

Apparently water guns can  also double a a bug hunting gun – notice how intently he locks eyes on the teency fly (black spec – if viewing on a mobile device) …sitting on the edge of the porch.
