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!

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!

This March, we welcomed our baby chicks and lop ear bunnies into our studio for Spring Mini Sessions in Galloway! The joy on all of the kids faces was so amazing! I love how these beautiful animals just lit up their faces with joy! Spring truly is a magical time where all things start to grow.

As you know, baby chicks and bunnies do grow up. We are so happy and excited to welcome the new chicks as new family members! BLP will continue to incorporate them into sessions, but will also be enjoying their eggs as well. This exciting new journey as chicken owners is definitely new to us; I can not believe how fast they grow. It felt like in the blink of an eye they started growing more colorful, larger wings and being able to hop around and walk and even run! Of course, my husband is in the process of building an amazing hen house! (Which of course will need to be photo ready! Yes to the cute flower boxes, and YES to the adorable barn door in the front!)

If you are interested in these Spring Mini Sessions in Galloway please let me know!I may be opening up another day for these because I just love them so much! But my little chicks are going to grow fast, so it would be within the week or so.

If you are interested in purchasing chicks or bunnies of your own, I highly recommend reading up on how important it is to take care of them as family pets. There are so many places to purchase these beautiful animals, but keep in mind that they are a HUGE responsibility! One that we are so excited to dive into!

Oh, Summer of 2022 – You have already proven yourself amazing! Starting this summer with working on the beach, has thus far been fantastic! This Ocean City Family Beach Session was so perfect. From the colors to the laughter, I couldn’t help but smile while editing these images.

You know it’s going to be a good session when the kids are bringing you amazing seashells over and over again! How precious of a memory is that. If this little boy grows up to only remember how amazing it was to find seashells on the beach, I think my job was complete – even before the session started. I say that because these sessions should not be able remembering some lady with a camera tell you to smile. These kids should be remembering how much fun it was to feel the sand drip from their little toes. These kids should remember how peaceful the ocean was that night, when they walked up the path holding their parents hands. The parents should be remembering how easy it was and how much love their felt for their children as they watched them be wild and free in the wind that night. Their children soaked up the summer breeze and didn’t have a care in the world other than playing at the beach and laughing the entire time.

Ocean City, NJ is a place of memories by default. What you make of it, is purely up to you. I choose joy, each and every single day and you should too!

If you are visiting the Jersey Shore or just simply taking a day trip to the beach, and decide you want to remember these little moments and book a session – think of me. An Ocean City Beach Session is highly recommended! I will encourage fun, laughing, running AND splashing! You’ll have the best memories, and you will not regret one moment of the fun you’ve had at the beach that summer night in 2022.
