The sun. The sand. The salty air. The inevitable battle of keeping the kids from running straight into the waves before we even snap the first photo. Beach photography is an art, and after years of perfecting it, I can confidently say that my New Jersey beach sessions are one of the most sought-after experiences I offer.

And guess what? Spots are almost gone! If you’ve been dreaming of stunning shore portraits with your family, now is the time to book—because once they’re filled, that’s it!

Why Beach Photography Is My Specialty

I often get asked: “Are you good at what you do?”

Well, let me put it this way—if beach photography were an Olympic sport, I’d be out here collecting gold medals. 🌊🏅

I’ve spent years perfecting my technique—studying light, understanding the ever-changing tides, and learning how to get kids to cooperate without bribing them with ice cream (though, let's be honest, sometimes that works too). My photography isn't just about snapping pretty pictures; it’s about telling your family’s story against the breathtaking backdrop of the Jersey Shore.

Whether it's Stone Harbor, Cape May, Avalon, Wildwood, Long Beach Island (LBI), or Ocean City, I know the best spots, the best timing, and the best tricks to keep everyone relaxed and having fun. No stiff, awkward poses—just natural, timeless portraits.

What to Expect from a Beach Session

I get it—family photos can feel stressful. Between getting everyone dressed, making sure the toddler doesn’t throw sand in their sibling’s hair, and praying the weather cooperates, it can feel like an Olympic event in itself. But my goal? To make this as fun and effortless as possible.
