This Sea Girt engagement session is giving me alll the Huntington Beach vibes! Despite doing 100’s of beach sessions, before this engagement (and being in neighboring Spring Lake constantly) I had never ended up in Sea Girt during the summer, or at a point where I had previously seen the adorable lifeguard hut pictured in […]

This session happened a little bit on accident. So for the record – it was not the car, the couple, or the outfits that happened by accident – it was the diner. When I initially talked to Sarah about her and Brian’s session, we were discussing places where we would be able to really use […]

Are you even ready for this session? Like at the end of it I just felt like hanging up my camera because I was worried I had peaked (I felt this way many years ago as well when I snapped a photo of one of my brides holding her ring in her palm with a […]

Are you even ready for all this adorability, though?! It’s not every day that I get to photograph celebrities. Doug and Hank and their parents are KINDA a big deal. There’s a reason that I don’t hire anyone to do any of my copywriting (for better or worse at this point – I don’t know […]

Sarah and Jimmy are basically members of my family, and their engagement session in Spring Lake was one of my faves! If you know me, you know my obsession with Kwanzan cherry blossom trees! They bloom for such a ridiculously short window so it can be hard to plan sessions around them, but each year […]

Megan and Randy! Ahhhh I love these two! Easy going, so fun to be around, gorgeous – they literally have it all. They picked the exact right outfits to match Island Beach State Park and the incredible rose gold light that we ended up getting for this session! I remember this being maybe mid-late March, […]

Whenever I start to really get into making blog posts again I always get super overwhelmed on where to start! I was looking thru everything I had shot for 2022 (close to 230 sessions between weddings, engagements, and families) and my eyes rested on Shannon, Tommy, and their adorable blonde doggo Honey! My favorite part […]

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 […]

In my opinion, the hardest part about bringing your dog to your engagement session, is that I will get very attached to your dog, and obsess over your dog, and want to pet them and snuggle them, and then it will be very hard for me to say goodbye to your dog. That’s really the […]

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 […]
