About The Photog
At Busy B Photography, we blend the art of photojournalism with the soul of the Outer Banks. Specializing in beach portraits and family photography, our approach captures life’s genuine moments against the stunning backdrop of North Carolina’s coast.
Eden Saunders, the creative force behind Busy B, discovered her passion for storytelling during her four years studying journalism at East Carolina University. Her artistic journey took her to New York City, where she transformed her journalistic eye into a unique photographic style. Returning to her coastal roots in 2008, Eden now infuses every shoot with both creative flair and an intimate understanding of the local landscape.
Growing up along the North Carolina beaches, Eden’s lifelong connection to the Outer Banks brings a special touch to each session. When you choose Busy B Photography, you’re not just hiring a talented photographer—you’re partnering with someone who knows the heart and heritage of the region.
Beyond the lens, Eden and her husband are living their farmhouse dream just 45 minutes from the Outer Banks. By day, Eden also serves as the marketing coordinator and photographer for Bayliss Boatworks, a respected local boatbuilding facility. When she’s not capturing life’s moments, Eden enjoys quality time with her family and the freedom of horseback riding along both the farm and the shoreline.
Discover a photography experience where every image tells a story, and every story is as unique as the Outer Banks itself.
About the Session
Our sessions typically begin one hour before sunset—unless we decide otherwise. And if you're an early bird, an hour before sunrise makes for equally magical lighting. While you’re welcome to choose your own location, we also have a few favorite oceanside and soundside spots we’d be happy to recommend.
When it comes to attire, comfort is key! Confidence shines through in every photograph, so wear something you love. Adults generally look best in solid colors, while children can pull off any combination of colors or patterns. A good tip is to start with the kids—if one child wears a patterned outfit, pick a complementary color from that pattern for the rest of the family. You don’t have to match exactly; the goal is to create a cohesive look that reflects your family’s style.
Feel free to bring along any meaningful props. For younger children, a favorite toy or even a sand bucket can help ease nerves and spark joy—after all, parents deserve a little alone time for a cozy couple shot too!
After our session, your images will be carefully processed and delivered within three weeks via an online album for easy digital download. All packages include a print release, so you’re free to create lasting memories in any format you choose.
