welcome to the blog

romantic, light & airy, authentic love stories.

It’s March as I’m writing this, and it’s 40 degrees and it’s cold – and there is going to be heavy rain and/or snow tonight. And I’m looking at these photos remembering how beautiful this evening was and just the cotton candy sky – and I already can’t wait for June!! Kelly and Pat were […]

Pretty much the only word that I have for this Long Beach Island wedding is: Wow. Casey and Nate had originally been planning a May wedding at Parker’s Garage and Oyster Saloon. They were forced to change their plans to a backyard October wedding instead when the pandemic hit, and rather than be sad – […]

Take me back to sweet summer, please! I always love when families want to include a little bit of themselves into their sessions – and this one at a marina in Beach Haven is such a perfect example! I am all about unique and unexpected locations for sessions. The beach is a classic option – […]

Family Photos with boats

I feel like photos only become more valuable as time goes on. Nothing can capture you the way you were at any given time in your life quite like a photo can. I alway find this to be especially true of my family sessions. Kids grow so quickly, seasons of life are always changing – […]

Family Beach Photos in LBI

open post

I swear I know every single street on Long Beach Island by this point in my photography career! As much as there are some gorgeous stretches of beach along the entire island, I recommend Barnegat Light for photo sessions over and over again. Mostly because it’s incredibly versatile and there are so many different options […]

Kelly and Joe’s nautical chic wedding at Long Beach Island’s gorgeous Brant Beach Yacht Club was a favorite of mine this year! I loved Kelly’s unexpected pops of color, her custom watercolored invitations, and also her love of White Claw (it must be a Kelly thing). I am always such a fan of yacht club […]

Beach Wedding in LBI

open post

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 […]

I absolutely love when my families want to do a little something different for their portraits, so I was super excited when this group wanted to do some amusement park style shots at Fantasy Island on Long Beach Island! This session has it all – cotton candy, lolly pops, boardwalk style games of chance, and […]

Family Photos at Fantasy Island LBI

open post

Oh, you guys. Family portraits on Long Beach Island get no cuter than these. I had the honor of documenting this sweet family’s portraits on the beach this past summer in Beach Haven, and we had so much fun hanging out with their adorable little one (who has personality for days, I might add). We […]
