I love this family! I remember being on the beach and watching the weather the entire time we were taking these, because it looked like rain was imminent (and I actually do think that the rain began just as we were finishing up)! I get asked all the time how I make decisions based on […]

I’ve got this love/hate relationship with snow. On the one hand, it creates a mess, can be hard to travel in, is cold, and stinks to shovel. On the other hand, it can be really pretty and create some bonafide photographic magic. Snow in New Jersey can be particularly fickle. We go entire years with […]

Oh, you guys! This little one was so. cute. When Shannon came to me with her ideas for this session, I was all in. I hadn’t had the opportunity to do a milk bath session before, and it was made even more special by the fact that we were actually able to use Shannon’s breastmilk! […]

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 […]

It’s always really special when I get to take photos for a friend (and also fellow photographer). I have known Courtney for a long while now, and I am so lucky to call her a friend. I have enjoyed getting to see glimpses of her kids growing up over the years, and I love how […]

This family photo session in Beach Haven on Long Beach Island is a perfect example of what happens when everyone is a wardrobe DO! You get an amazing set of family photos filled with soft rose gold light and perfectly coordinated attire. I was absolutely dying when everyone showed up perfectly dressed in complementary but […]

It seems like only yesterday that I was photographing this soon-to-be family of three on Long Beach Island, and now this past summer they are a soon-to-be-family of four! As usual, Valerie and Josh were literally the sweetest people I have ever met. They are insanely good natured – even when out on the beach […]

Each year I spend Monday-Thursday taking family photos in places like Beach Haven, Long Beach Island. I been been so fortunate in my business to get the honor of documenting families at their best – on vacation at the beautiful New Jersey Shore! I am a big believer that a lot of the best photo […]

I love visiting Long Beach Island to do family portraits. I am pretty sure I have been to every beach along the stretch of the island from Barnegat Light all the way down to Holgate, and I never get tired of the locales. Not to mention that each part of the island has some special […]
