2026 Jersey Shore Beach Mini Session

Black Friday Beach Minis Are Here — And They Always Sell Out

If there’s one thing South Jersey moms have learned about me over the years, it’s this:
when I announce Black Friday Beach Minis, blink too slowly and you’ll miss them.

These sessions are the kind of quick, dreamy magic that families love — especially moms who want updated portraits without dragging everyone to a two-hour ordeal that ends with someone crying in a car seat (usually us).

This year, I’m opening July 11th for our annual beach minis at the stunning Atlantic City shoreline. Soft ocean breeze, pastel skies, and that iconic Steel Pier in the background… it is everything you want from a Jersey Shore photographer who knows how to create fine-art beauty in minutes.

As a Philadelphia photographer who spends half my life between PA and South Jersey beaches, I can confidently say: there is nothing like the AC coastline at golden hour. It’s quick, it’s gorgeous, and the magic is practically guaranteed.

What You Get (Black Friday Price!)

✔️ $135 — Black Friday Exclusive
✔️ 2 fine-art edited images
✔️ 10-minute session — short, sweet, and perfect for little ones
✔️ Families up to 5
✔️ Luxury-level results without the luxury-level time commitment

Please note: these are simple, no-styling sessions. No dresses, no headpieces — just your beautiful family, the ocean breeze, and my fine-art editing turning it into something frame-worthy.

Why These Sell Out Every. Single. Year.

Because families have flown in from all over to experience our Jersey Shore magic.

Because kids love the beach.
Because parents love quick.
Because my clients know that 10 minutes with me is plenty when the light is perfect and the vibes are good.

And because these minis are the most affordable way to get fine-art beach portraits from a top Philadelphia and South Jersey photographer.

Booking Info

These spots move fast — lightning fast — so if the July 11th date works for you, grab a time while you can.

A Little Note From Me

Black Friday is always a wild time in this business, but these beach minis feel extra special every year. Maybe it’s the nostalgia, maybe it’s the ocean, or maybe it’s that moment when your child runs toward the waves with pure joy — and I freeze it into something you’ll treasure forever.

However busy life gets, those little moments matter.

And I’d love to create them with your family this summer.
