There’s something undeniably magical about photos at the Jersey Shore.

The crashing waves, the soft golden sands, and the laughter that echoes against the backdrop of this coastal paradise create an atmosphere ripe for creating unforgettable family memories. But what makes these moments captured through a lens so timeless?

Imagine a portrait framed against the stunning expanse of the Atlantic Ocean or a candid shot amidst the iconic boardwalks. The Jersey Shore isn’t just a location; it’s a picturesque canvas that lends itself perfectly to family photography. Every snapshot captures not just faces, but emotions woven into the fabric of this enchanting landscape.

Children, Family

Lucky number 7! Why is the number 7 considered so lucky? Well, there are 7 colors in the rainbow, 7 continents, 7 days of the week, 7 seas, and 7 notes on a scale of music! 7 is a big deal, so documenting your child’s 7th birthday seems like the perfect thing to do right? I couldn’t agree more! Your child is growing up, they’t not babies, but not quite a tween. They special. This is the year where there is still magic all around them, but they seem to know so much more than they ever did… and they’re still sweet. They still love cuddles with Mom, but maybe now its Mom, and not so much Mommy.

For this little lady’s 7th birthday, she wanted to be on the beach! Do you blame her? A girl after my own heart! I adore the beach, and when I told her Mom about one of my favorite spots in NJ she knew, Birthday Portraits in Cape May just HAD to happen!

When she arrived I was blown away by how beautiful she looked. She had professional hair and makeup done and was wearing the prettiest dress! She even had an outfit change!

The weather was on our side, despite the smoke coming down from the Canadian Wildfires causing haze in our sky. The sun was still shining creating a magical glow in the evening on the beach, perfect for her Birthday Portraits in Cape May!

Birthday Portraits in Cape May

Cape May is not just a beautiful beach. Cape May beaches represent the best of the Jersey Shore. If you want sand that sparkles in the sunshine, ocean water that refreshes your soul, and the sounds of children giggles in the wind as you relax on the beach all day long – then THIS is the Jersey Shore you have been dreaming of. It’s the Cape May we imagine, it’s the purity of New Jersey that has you dreaming of going back in time. It’s all here.

For me, Cape May isn’t too far away. Of course, for me, everything is a trip – that’s just how NJ is. But, with each trip to Cape May, I always leaved refreshed. Yes, even when I am the photographer of your Cape May Beach Portraits. I find myself, most summers spending at least twice a week on the beaches of Cape May. It’s always on the top of my recommendation list, and no one ever complains!

If you are planning a trip down here to our beautiful beaches, I highly recommend booking your Cape May Beach Portraits. Not only will it be eventful and fun for the whole family, but you will be able to remember your trip. I take you away from where you are staying, and bring you onto the local side of Cape May. Where the dunes are free from fences, you can see natural in its purest form, and the views are cinematic.

Key takeaways from your session:
-Little hands holding carefully selected seashells
-Toes that aren’t so little anymore
-Tight hugs and giggles
-Memories you are so happy so have because today will soon be yesterday, and you’ll never get yesterday back again

I have been photographing Cricket and her family for years. I adore her daughters and look forward to our portrait sessions each year. We talk about locations, and what they’re looking for and then the magic unfolds. We decided on Hereford Inlet, one of my absolute favorite locations in Wildwood! They were so excited and so was I. Cricket put together the most beautiful color combination for their outfits. And of course they were going to get into the ocean with them because the memories and the fun make the session!

Hereford Inlet Family Session

This year, Char was in charge of picking the session. She really wanted flowers so Longwood Gardens was very high up on the list. However, when I mentioned that the Hereford Inlet lighthouse is actually a garden and it’s stunning, we decided to go there! They were NOT disappointed, and I am pretty sure they found a new chill spot for next summer. Hereford Inlet is such a sweet little surprise. It’s never busy, the gardens are well maintained, there are benches and walkways, and a beautiful view of the ocean. What’s not to love?

The best part of the day was that the sunset set the sky on fire! It was as if the sun just knew we were coming and wanted to make sure we had the very best sky! Can you imagine, it rained earlier in the day? I always tell my clients to trust me when it comes to rain. I watch the radar, and make sure to make a very educated decision on if we postpone the session or not. I told Cricket, while yes it is currently raining that it looks to be clearing up and we should try for it! She gave her full trust to me, and wow, we really did luck out because just LOOK at that sky!

I can NOT wait until next year, and look forward to planning something special for their next session!

Enjoy the images from the session:
