Growing up, I never really appreciated how cool of a place I lived in. Heading to the boardwalk was totally normal, the beach was always right around the corner and I had my pick of options on any given summer day. Kohr’s was always easy access, and I consumed endless orange and vanilla swirl cones […]

I may be just a little bit obsessed with Marina because her energy is so good and she and Jim are down for anything! Also – can we please talk about her hat?! If more people wore hats for engagement sessions in 2022, I would not be mad about it. There’s just something about a […]

Engagement sessions are my favorite way to get to know my couples! Not only do we get to hang out in a really low pressure situation, but I also get to know you, you get to know me, and we get some amazing photos out of the whole deal (and you get comfortable with being […]

One of the coolest parts of my job is getting introduced to cool new places! My couples show me some amazing new (to me) spots, and I am always to excited to go and shoot at new locations. Just when I thought I had experienced every beach on the Jersey Shore, Kelly and Kevin went […]

Danielle and Joe had such a beautiful engagement session on the Asbury Park beach and boardwalk! Not only are these two just the sweetest people in the whole world, they are also getting married at an amazing local venue – The English Manor! Also – the way that Joe looks at Danielle in all of […]

I always love when my couples introduce me to new locations! Believe it or not, I had never been to Allenhurst. It’s one of those things where, despite often being super close (you can actually see Asbury Park from the beach), I had just never worked my way north enough to be there. As it […]

Fun fact: Early in my photography career, I rarely shot in Spring Lake. I always used to wonder where those beautiful bridges were when I saw wedding photos that were being shared around, and I didn’t have a clue where to look for them. Eventually, I stumbled upon the park, and now I consider Spring […]

One of my most favorite things about family portraits at the beach, is that it is always different! You’d think that I might be bored of shooting at the beach (at this point in my career I have done hundreds of sessions and weddings there) – but no. Every single time I’m photographing at the […]

Did you know that beach family sessions are possible all year long? Even in New Jersey? It can absolutely be chilly – but it’s totally possible! Lavallette is one of my favorite local beaches. There is access to a beautiful boardwalk, and it has so many great locations for family portraits on both the ocean […]

I love Julia and Mike! This Asbury Park boardwalk and beach engagement session was so fun to shoot – and I love that we incorporated some of their favorite things (namely ice pops and champagne, which also happen to be some of my favorite things if we’re being honest). I always love shooting in Asbury […]
