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.

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?

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!

Jennifer and Patrick chose to tie the knot and have a Beautiful Beach Wedding at The Grand Hotel in Cape May, New Jersey. The Grand Hotel has is an absolutely gorgeous venue to celebrate your special day. Their ceremony was on the beach, and their reception was full of life as everyone danced the night away. Jenn and Patrick could not have asked for a better day to have their wedding. The weather was perfect. The sun was shining and the evening sky was a beautiful ombre.

When we think about a September beach wedding, we think about warm days and cool nights. The weather has been acting kind of funny lately. Jennifer and Patrick got to experience a truly gorgeous summer wedding in September.

I highly recommend having a Beautiful Beach Wedding at The Grand Hotel in Cape May. It’s right across the street from the beach which makes the ceremony and the portraits so easy and convenient. Cape May is also a great place to have your honeymoon and a wonderful location for out of town guests to stay the weekend for a mini vacay!

If you are having your  Beach Wedding  in Cape May, I would love to chat with you and photograph your special day! Reach out to me today to chat!
