When it comes to Jersey Shore beach portraits, timing is everything. The best time to schedule your portrait session is during the golden hour, which is an hour before sunset when the sun casts a beautiful golden glow across the beach. The golden hour provides the perfect lighting for capturing stunning and memorable photos of your family.
Before the sunsets… we love getting a nice sun glow near the dunes in Ocean City. Love this kid’s smile. This was her “cheesing” for some time. She cracks me up!
There are several great beaches along the Jersey Shore that are perfect for beach portraits. Brigantine, Avalon, Ventnor, Margate, Longport, Sea Isle, Cape May, and Wildwood are just a few of the many options available. Each of these beaches has its own unique features and scenery, such as dunes, lighthouses, and jetties, providing the perfect backdrop for your photos.
Watching the boats go over the water.
In addition to beach portraits, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy along the Jersey Shore. Gillian's Wonderland Pier, Playland's Castaway Cove, and Morey's Piers are just a few of the amusement parks that offer a variety of rides and attractions for kids of all ages. The boardwalks are lined with shops, restaurants, and arcades, providing endless entertainment options for the whole family.
