An extended family beach session is one of the best ways to tell your family’s story. Grandparents, parents, siblings, spouses, and children come together in one portrait session. These sessions celebrate the love, laughter, and connection that make your family unique. At the Jersey Shore, these sessions capture the joy of your vacation while creating images your family will treasure for generations.

Vacations at the shore often become the highlight of the year. They include boardwalk adventures, sandy toes, and moments worth holding onto forever. But families grow and change quickly. Children get taller, new traditions form, and time moves faster than we’d like. Photographing your family each summer preserves these memories and creates heirlooms for the future.

From grandparents holding the youngest grandchild to cousins racing along the shoreline, these portraits tell the story of your family’s legacy. I guide every session with a relaxed and joyful approach so your photos reflect genuine connection and real happiness.

Booking an extended family beach session means more than taking photos. It’s about pausing to celebrate this moment in time and the people who matter most.

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!
