It’s great when our senior clients ask us to photograph a family shoot of the whole extended family! We do a lot of family reunion / extended family photo shoots at the beach. It just seems like the place where the families come together to create memories. We photographed Ashton’s senior pictures in Stone Harbor where her parents have a home and I knew after meeting her and her mom, it was going to be a fun crowd. They were the kindest family to work with… what a pleassure! Also…as you can see in the pictures we have some Phillies fans!

I am excited to share this session we photographed in Avalon of this gorgeous family because they were soooo much fun to work with. Not only were they laid-back and ready to have fun, but they had THE happiest little boy ever.   It was a perfect morning for beach pictures.

These kids enjoyed being in the limelight! This beautiful family was so much fun to work with! They all look like they came out of the pages of a magazine, which was wonderful for me!

Ana and her family had such a fun personality! I felt like I could have spent all evening photographing this family!

This little guy was so cute! We were doing this shoot in Ocean City, NJ when the beautiful storm clouds started rolling in. It did not phase this little one… he kept us entertained and we had a blast. As a photographer, I love it when I can get those beautiful clouds in my photos!

I can say that this was absolutely one of my favorite photo shoots.  There was so much love between this family!

Virginia called me in the Spring to photograph her family in Avalon. She had come across some of our pictures online, and could not believe they had been taken right where she lived! Since then we have come to be great friends. I feel like I have known her all of my life! I am so blessed!
  

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Amy and her beautiful family a couple of weeks ago in Glen Mills, PA. They live in this incredible old house with these huge trees that the sun pops through! It was a gorgeous fall evening and the colors were in full force. I really LOVE doing family portait sessions. There is such a special bond between siblings and parents, and it really shows in these pics!

Jon and I grew up together coming to Avalon every summer with our families. It was a house filled with lots of kids, crabbing on the dock and many long exciting days at the beach. We would play and ride the waves so hard that by 1pm, we would have to nap. Our fathers would take us into Hennys during happy hour and we would sit on their laps and listen to music. Does anyone remember the movie theatre on the Pier at 30th St? We saw Jaws one late night and came out the back door which looked over the ocean… spooky!! It’s so special to now see our chidren enjoying those same memories! Thanks Sara for being such a wonderul assistant!

When Mike first called to tell me they were looking for a special family portait on the beach, I instantly knew why the moment I met the family. The parents really knew the meaning of true love. We went on to get some formal and not so formal portraits, and had a ton of fun. (Judy I won’t post the pyramid photos!!!) It was a picture perfect night in Avalon! The photo below was picked and will proudly hang as a Canvas Gallery Wrap in their home over the fireplace.
