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.

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

 

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.  Cape May Beach Portraits 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.

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.

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!
