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.

On the drive over to shoot Meg and Brian’s beach engagement session I was wondering if the weather was going to cooperate.  Dark and stormy almost all the way up the parkway, it had been raining most of the night, but was supposed to be a beautiful day at the shore.  As I pulled into Ocean City NJ, the skies cleared a little, leaving just enough cloud to add some dramatic effect.  Meeting at their home on the beach, The location was perfect. With the weather being so rainy earlier, the beach was empty, leaving us plenty of room to work. With the sun trying to peek through the clouds, Meg and Brian took me throught how the engagement had happened.  They even had put the chairs and umbrellas back out exactly how they were when he proposed.  The morning could not have been more perfect…lots of clouds and color…This combined with Meg and Brians fun & energetic personalities was the perfect ending to an awesome beach engagement session.

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!

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




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!

True Love

September 5, 2009

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.

These young ladies had so much energy they were bursting at the seams! Sometimes at a photography session I smile so much that it hurts… this was definately the case with this family!Avalon NJ Children's PhotographerAvalon NJ Childrens PhotographerAvalon NJ Childrens PhotographerAvalon Nj Family Photographer

 

When Debbie called to speak with us about portraits, she told us her son was going off to West Point in the next couple of days. She was hoping to get some portraits of her son who has been lifeguarding in Avalon. Both places are very near and close to my heart, so I could not turn her down.

When I got this call that there were 5 year old triplets, I was wondering how I was going to pull this off. But…These 3 little guys were the most behaved kids I have ever seen! From the first moment we hit the sand, they kept me going, and were very entertaining! I made mention of the 3 Stooges, and dad said “That’s what we call them”!
