There is something truly magical about gathering the entire family for Extended Family Beach Portraits. The sun, sand, and sea create the perfect backdrop for capturing the essence of your family’s legacy. At Bokeh Love Photography, we specialize in creating stunning beach portraits with extended families, and we are here to tell you why documenting generational portraits is not just important but essential.

The Importance of Generational Portraits

Family portraits are more than just photos; they are a way to capture the love, connection, and history that binds generations together. Here’s why extended family beach portraits are a priceless investment in your family’s legacy:

1. Documenting History: Generational portraits capture the essence of your family’s history. From grandparents to newborns, each photograph tells a story of love, growth, and connection.
2. Creating Lasting Memories: As time passes, memories fade. Professional portraits preserve these precious moments, allowing future generations to look back and see the faces and places that shaped their family.
3. Celebrating Milestones: Whether it’s a family reunion, anniversary, or special birthday or vacation, extended family portraits are a wonderful way to commemorate these significant milestones.
4. Strengthening Family Bonds: The process of coming together for a portrait session can strengthen family bonds. It’s a time to laugh, share stories, and create new memories together.

The Fun of Beach Portraits

The beach is not just a beautiful backdrop; it’s a place of fun, relaxation, and joy. Here’s why beach portraits are a favorite among families:

1. Natural Beauty: The beach offers a stunning and ever-changing landscape, from the golden hour glow to the shimmering waves. Each shot is unique and breathtaking.
2. Casual and Comfortable: The beach setting allows for a more relaxed and natural portrait session. Families can play, walk, and interact naturally, resulting in candid and heartwarming photos.
3. Perfect for All Ages: The beach is a place where everyone, from toddlers to grandparents, can enjoy. It provides a fun and engaging environment for all ages.

Ahhh, Beach Portraits in Cape May… I always say that Cape May is a magical place. It really is. It could be raining somewhere else in New Jersey, but Cape May is completely different. It’s as if there is a bubble around this place, keeping it pure from the other areas. Of course it does rain here, but oftentimes its a thousand percent different than the rest of the state. Either way, it’s one of my favorite beach locations to visit, and I can not wait to go back!

Family Beach Portraits in Cape May are the best. I am not just saying that because I visit often, or even that I am a photographer. Let’s be super real and talk about Cape May really quick. Cape May, by default is a vacation destination but it is so much more than that. Cape May is home to so many amazing people who love the environment and love the beaches. The dunes and the beach grass in Cape May is something you would imagine in your dreams, or see in a beautiful movie and just wish to go get your feet sandy. So having your Beach Portraits in Cape May is, well, a dream come true!

If you don’t believe me yet, just take a look at these beautiful images. I would gladly hang these all over my walls! They’re absolutely stunning and I couldn’t have wished for a more beautiful day!

Each year I plan my family session on Brigantine Beach. It’s something that I can look back on and say we all did together over summer break. Summer is a time where our kids are exploring and really coming into their own person and growing right in front of our eyes. Brigantine, NJ has always been a special place for me growing up. I guess that is why I love having sessions there.

This family session on Brigantine Beach was adorable! This little man was all smiles and loved hanging out with his Mommy and Daddy! I loved their aqua, cream and blue colors, I thought they looked so good on the beach! The best thing ever, is when clients show up camera ready!

If you are thinking about having a family session on Brigantine Beach, reach out to me and we can chat about it! The golden hour is my absolute favorite time to take photos because that is one hour before the sun starts to set. I have an app on my phone that tells me exactly what time the sun will start to set and when the last light will be.

On the Jersey Shore, we have amazing sunrises over the ocean (in the East) and our sunsets are in the West (behind the dunes). At 7:00pm in August it is the perfect time for beach portraits! The sun is setting. There is a gorgeous golden glow from where the sun starts to touch the tippy top of the dunes. And the backlighting from the sun, is like we are catching a glimpse of Heaven. How lucky we are to experience the beauty of the Jersey Shore.

It is absolutely phenomenal!

You can’t visit the Jersey Shore without bringing some of this sunshine home with you, now can you?

Plan a family beach session in Avalon, NJ with Bokeh Love Photography today and have memories that will last a lifetime! The beach is a place for fun, it’s a place to gather, and it’s a place where memories are made. There is never a bad day at the beach. When families reach out to me and tell me they would like me to photograph them on the beach, I am always excited. Every day the beach is different, the sand isn’t always in the same spot. The waves can be calm or they can be wild. There can be seashells or jelly fish, seaweed or clams. It can be a bright sunny day, or moody with overcast. It’s always a place to be expectation free, to go with the flow and see what happens. It’s natural and wonderful, and unique as each family session. This particular session was an Extended Family Beach Session in Avalon, NJ.

Avalon, NJ is one of my favorites places to photograph. The beaches are beautiful and the beach paths are out of this world! I am so lucky to be able to live in a place that most people call their vacation! To say I am blessed is an understatement! I have so many locations that I have up my sleeve but this one, this one is one of my favorites!

As the summer is coming to a close, that doesn’t mean beach sessions are over! I love beach sessions in September and even in October! Also, I have something up my sleeve that may include a peacock chair and some GORGEOUS flowers for late August/early September. If you’d like to be on the radar for that session, add yourself to the email list and be notified of upcoming themed sessions!
