This Avalon NJ maternity session was the perfect celebration of love, light, and the quiet joy of a growing family on the beach at sunset.

We met just before golden hour, when the light turns warm and the ocean breeze feels extra peaceful. The mom-to-be radiated beauty as she walked barefoot along the shoreline, her hands gently cradling her bump. With her daughter by her side and her husband close behind, every moment felt full of meaning and anticipation.

The connection between this family came through in every frame. Her husband watched her with admiration, ready to support her at every step. Their daughter, wide-eyed and full of curiosity, couldn’t wait to explore the beach. She picked up seashells, ran through the tide, and leaned in for kisses and snuggles with her parents.

Their dog joined in on the fun, wagging his tail and staying close to his people. I love when families include their pets—it makes the session feel even more personal. This pup clearly knew he was part of something special.

The sunset cast a golden glow across the sand, making everything feel soft and dreamy. We captured the quiet in-between—the sweet season of waiting before life changes in the best possible way. These images will serve as a reminder of what life looked and felt like right before their family grew by one more heartbeat.

Maternity sessions like this one remind me why I love what I do. They honor motherhood, celebrate connection, and preserve the joy and wonder of growing families. When you pair that with Avalon’s peaceful beach and breathtaking sunsets, it’s pure magic.

If you’re expecting and want to capture the beauty of this moment, let’s plan a session that reflects your story.

Whether you’re drawn to the beach, your home, or another meaningful spot, this chapter deserves to be remembered. Reach out to me today to start planning your maternity session: Lauren@bokehlovephotography.net

Avalon Family Session

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!

A Cape May NJ Beach Session is as magical as they get, where sunsets are eminent and you don’t leave without amazing memories!

This session was absolutely joyful. The sun was setting with the most gorgeous golden glow and their outfits were as if they were styled by a professional! Well, they kind of were! Shout out to Tami & Ryan for always being amazing clients and friends!) The excitement of their son when he got to play “photographer” with my camera filled this session with laughter. (But let’s be real for a moment, his parent’s are photographers and he is no noob to the game!)

As the sun set, we moved our way down the boardwalk and onto the beach. We let the kids play as the sun got lower and lower in the sky, and photographed them in the bright golden beams. It was a moment to remember, and really set the moment, and allowed us all to have a beautiful moment of peace in such a crazy time.

Everyone in the town must have known it would be the most perfect evening because the beach was packed! I have to say, the water was warm as well. Nothing beats jumping in the ocean at the end of a Cape May NJ Beach Session and letting the kids just be kids! It’s also gives Mom and Dad a chance to relax on the blanket and watch them have fun too.
