Capturing Memories in Avalon is a dream. It’s a dream location and I am pretty sure Avalon, New Jersey is my absolute favorite beach in all of Jersey Shore. Avalon, New Jersey, is a treasure trove of picturesque beaches, providing the perfect backdrop for family beach photography. The soft, golden sands and gentle waves create an idyllic setting where families can relax, explore, and make lifelong memories. As a family photographer, Avalon’s beauty never ceases to amaze me, but what truly fills my heart with joy is photographing the same families year after year and witnessing how the children grow and change over time.

The Beauty of Avalon Beaches

Avalon beaches are renowned for their serene and natural beauty. The expansive shoreline, the soothing sound of the ocean, and the breathtaking sunsets make it a perfect location for family portraits. Whether it’s the early morning light or the golden hour just before sunset, Avalon’s beaches offer a stunning canvas for capturing the essence of family life. The dunes, the sea grass, and the pristine sands provide a variety of backdrops that add depth and character to every photo session.

The Joy of Seeing Families Grow

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a family photographer in Avalon is the opportunity to document the same families year after year in these beautiful spots I find throughout Avalon. Watching children grow and change, capturing their milestones, and seeing their personalities blossom is a just wonderful. Each session tells a story – a story of growth, love, and connection. The children who were once toddlers learning to walk are now confident kids running along the beach, and I feel honored to be part of their journey.

Creating Lifelong Memories

Family outings to Avalon’s beaches are more than just photo sessions; they areexperiences filled with wonder and exploration. I love being a fly on the wall, capturing those candid moments when Dad discovers something amazing to share with the kids, or when mom and children share a laugh. These moments of discovery, learning, and pure joy are what make family portraits so special. In just one hour, countless memories are made, and it’s those memories that will last a lifetime.

Bringing Happiness Through Photography

Becoming a family photographer has brought immense happiness to my life. The joy I see in the families I photograph, the smiles, the laughter, and the shared moments of love are incredibly fulfilling. I am passionate about what I do and wouldn’t change it for the world. Each session is an opportunity to bring happiness to families, to document their unique stories, and to create beautiful images that they will cherish forever.

Looking Forward to New Adventures

I am always excited to meet new families and to continue documenting the lives of those I’ve photographed before. Avalon’s beaches provide a timeless setting for these moments, and I look forward to many more sessions filled with wonder, exploration, and joy. Being able to capture these special times for families is not just a job – it’s a calling, and I am grateful for every opportunity to be part of these cherished memories.

Thank you for trusting me to capture your family’s story. I can’t wait to see you on Avalon’s beautiful beaches, ready to create new memories that will last a lifetime.

Beach Portraits at the Ventnor Fishing Pier in New Jersey are some of my favorite. It’s more than just an evening at the beach; it’s an opportunity to create lasting memories and capture the moments of our children’s growth through photography.

The Importance of Family Time

In our fast-paced lives, it’s crucial to carve out time to spend with our children. These moments of togetherness are the building blocks of their childhood, the memories they’ll carry into adulthood. The beach provides a perfect backdrop for these moments. The laughter as we build sandcastles, the joy in their eyes as they chase waves, and the warmth of the sun on our faces—all these little things matter.

Creating Memories

Each year, we notice the subtle changes in our children. They grow taller, their faces mature, and their personalities develop. These changes are beautifully captured in your annual family beach photography session. The Ventnor Fishing Pier, with its rustic charm and panoramic views, offers a picturesque setting to freeze these moments in time.

Photography allows us to look back and remember the fun we had, the milestones we achieved, and the love we shared. It’s a way to hold onto the past while embracing the future.

The Tradition of Family Portraits

Making family portraits a yearly tradition is a wonderful way to document the passage of time. As our children grow and change, these photos become a visual diary of their childhood. Each year, we all look forward to seeing how they’ve grown not just physically but also emotionally and mentally.

These sessions aren’t just about the perfect picture. They’re about capturing the essence of who you are as a family at that moment in time. They remind us to celebrate the now and appreciate the journey we’re on together.

The Beach: A Happy Place

The beach has always been a place of joy and relaxation for families. There’s something magical about the sound of the waves, the feeling of the sand between your toes, and the endless horizon that brings peace and happiness. The beach is a place where we can unwind, have fun, and connect with each other away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Every season at the beach brings its own unique beauty and experiences. From the bright, sunny days of summer to the serene, misty mornings of fall, the beach is a place to be celebrated year-round. Sessions  with Bokeh Love Photography capture these seasonal changes and the beauty of nature, reminding us of the ever-changing yet constant joy the beach brings.

So you want to book an Extended Family Beach Session on the Jersey Shore? Let me help you with that!

Hi! I’m Lauren and I love family portraits. No, they’re not easy. Well, I mean they are, but not everyone WANTS to do them. Whether it’s Grandmom, Mom or your Aunt Susie that’s planning this family get together because you haven’t had portraits done in 5 years, or there is a new family member to celebrate – these are special. Face it, one day, you will be SO happy to have these photos.

That’s where I come in! I love big families! The bigger the better! Bring Grandmom and Grandpop, your siblings, their spouses, their kids, the family dog, I’m here for it! I want to be sure you get all of the combos you could ever imagine. And sure, it may sound repetitive at times, but don’t worry, I have a plan to make the kids super happy! There is a reason I wear shorts to sessions and it’s not because it’s 90 degrees outside. It’s because if the kids can get through all of the important photos, I’ll jump in the ocean with the and let them go wild as I take candid photos of them being themselves! After all, wouldn’t you want to shake our your sillies if you were 7 years old and your parents just made you sit through the dreadful… FAMILY PHOTO SESSION? It’s all good, I’ve got this, they are going to do GREAT!

So let’s start with the process, shall we?

My very first photo is the whole group! Then I like to photograph the Grandparents with ALL of their grandkids, and break it down to each family. I am open to other combinations as well, you just let me know what you want, and I’ll makes sure we get it!

As we walk down the beach path, I like to utilize the greenery of the path, and then we hit the dunes! After that, we head to the water! It’s a lot easier than it sounds and you’ll leave your vacation feeling so proud of your family because this was such a special memory to capture. Maybe it turns into a tradition… what a wonderful gift for your kids is that?

Ready to book?

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.  Extended Family Beach Sessions  are highly recommended, especially with Grandparents! 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 2023.

Having your family session on Avalon Beach is a wise decision for a few major reasons! I am going to list them below, and you should totally trust me, because, well, I’m a professional!

1. A Family Session on Avalon Beach is perfect because the beaches are clean, and the sand is soft!
I know, I know! You’re probably asking yourself, “wait a minute, aren’t ALL beaches clean and soft?” Well, yes, the answer is definitely yes, but, not all sand feels the same. It’s hard to explain really, but there is something just so nice about walking on the Avalon beaches. The sand is finer, and well, that means softer. There aren’t as many shells here. Yes, there are shells, but not like you would find in North Atlantic City, which is near the inlet, and you can see Brigantine just over the water. The shells get stuck there! So, If you are looking for shells, maybe N. Atlantic City is the spot for you, but if you’re looking for soft sand, I recommend Avalon for sure!

2. The dunes are pretty.
Silly right? I mean, not if you’re looking for a beautiful location for your portraits! I try to scope out ALLLL of the gorgeous locations solely based on beach grass! Not only is it an opportunity to educate your children on our natural eco system, and how the beach grass thrives and helps animals have shelter, and help keep the dunes solid with their roots… it also looks really nice in pictures! I say YES to Avalon’s beach grass. It’s just picture perfect!

3. Avalon Beaches have amazing beach paths!
Seriously! They go on for what feels like forever! But it’s a good forever, almost like you’re on an adventure to get to some magical location… THE BEACH of course! And the walk back isn’t that bad either. The vegetation is pretty high, so it shades us from the harsh sun! That’s why I like to start on the path and work my way down to the beach. See? I have a method to my madness!

4. There is usually ALWAYS a beach cruiser to photograph!
Listen, these bikes are pretty cool. You have to admit, they’re just asking to be used as a prop! So long as we are respectful, we don’t touch it (because it’s not ours!), we can photograph them and stand in front of them, all day long!

5. After your session there are SO MANY ICE CREAM SHOPS!
Who doesn’t LOVE ice cream? And let’s talk about variety for just one moment. If you want homemade ice cream, or soft serve, Jimmies or a waffle cone, heck, they even have a spot that serves acai bowls and dole whip! You just have to figure out what you want to eat after your session! I know right, tough choice!

With all of that said, check out this super adorable Family Session on Avalon Beach! This family has been a part of the BLP Family for some time now, actually since the Mom and Dad were engaged! How about that! I have watched their little ones grow up and their family grow and it has been a beautiful experience for me as their photographer, and not only that, they’re become my friends. I am proud to say that I absolutely love what I do. Someone once told me, that if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life! When I tell you that’s not a lie, it most certainly is not!

Cheers to friendship, beautiful photography and growing families!

For all of you beach lovers out there, who have yet to visit Avalon, you NEED to come to the ICONA in Avalon! It is absolutely, my favorite beach of 2020! Having ICONA Avalon Beach Portraits in 2020 will gives you a few things… 1. The peace and quiet of having portraits on a beach with barely any people, 2. A clean beach, and 3. Fresh, beautiful air without a ton of tourists on the beach! I know what you’re thinking, but if we’re visiting, we ARE tourists… yes, yes, of course, and we here at the Jersey Shore LOVE and ADORE tourists, but when it’s the evening time, we want you to go eat and relax, and see what the town has to offer and let us photographers soak up the beach with our families! haha. In Avalon, everyone does just that. It’s so amazing, and I just love it. Everyone does their own thing and is just so considerate here. Not to mention that the dunes, and the paths are just made for beautiful photos ops!

Basically, if you are coming here with your family, or doing a simple day trip, book your ICONA Avalon Beach Portraits! You won’t be disappointed, and you will have gorgeous images to hang on your walls, to use for Christmas cards, or even print and give as beautiful gifts. It’s totally worth it, and you will be so happy you invested the time and energy into it!

We all know this season has been pretty wild, but that doesn’t stop us from getting out there and getting the fresh air and family time that we so desperately need. The beach is the best way to get out and just let lose. The sea air cleans your lungs and lets you breath again. My grandma always told me, the ocean breath and salt water will cure the soul! I believe that, and live by it. I am so glad I am able to live so close to the ocean and i can visit often. Don’t forget to take time out for yourselves, even if it isn’t a photo session.
