Ben Franklin Bridge-Camden, New Jersey

A beautiful sister photo session at the Ben Franklin Bridge!

Astonishing Portrait Session of Two Sisters at Ben Franklin Bridge in New Jersey.

On a beautiful May evening, I embarked on a journey to capture the remarkable portrait session of two sisters at the iconic Ben Franklin Bridge. The radiance they brought to the scene was beyond my expectations. The sisters, hailing from the New York area, arrived excited to pick out their dresses and commence the photoshoot.

As soon as they arrived, their vibrant personalities and undeniable charm set the tone for a memorable photo shoot. The girls' gorgeous outfits perfectly complemented one another, showcasing their individual beauty and strong bond as sisters. The resulting photos captured the essence of sisterhood and love, while showcasing their personalities in each snap.

Weather-wise it was a nice balmy 78 and a little windy! However, some wind, not the crazy hurricane types, can actually add some movement to images.

The bond between the sisters was palpable and evident not only in their physical resemblance but also in their interactions. Their laughter filled the bridge, creating an atmosphere of warmth and genuine affection. Witnessing their pure joy was an inspiration for me as a photographer.

Throughout the session, the sisters effortlessly posed with grace and poise, displaying their unique beauty and connection. Their complete trust in our vision allowed me to capture their true essence, preserving their sisterly bond in every frame.

I was fortunate to have a brother and two sisters growing up. I totally wish that we had photography like this to showcase our memories. I couldn’t fathom having a portrait session like this. It would have been incredible! Now, I have candids and polaroids of the film days of those times and of course your standard corny studio portraits, but if there was anything like this experience, I think it would be a highlight of my childhood!

This was my favorite image of the whole session. I love the connection she has. She looks so kind and so happy. I love these Ben Franklin Bridge Sessions so much!

As the session drew to a close, I reflected on the magical experience I shared with these two sisters. The Ben Franklin Bridge provided an extraordinary canvas for their portraits, but it was their infectious spirit and love for one another that truly brought the images to life.

From the moment of meeting these two little beans, to picking out the dresses, walking up to the top and then photographing, I can’t say how pleasant of a time we had. I always say it is a good days work when there is a ton of laughter and twirls involved and we definitely got that here with these two.

We are grateful to have been a part of this incredible session and eagerly await the day to see these two sisters again.they came all the way from New York State to see us!

These images will serve as a tangible reminder of their bond for years to come, bringing joy to all who see them. The entire experience was not only successful but also incredibly fun for all involved.

Happy Shooting, my friends!

She was the true star of the session, her excitement and joy shining brighter than the setting sun.

Where did this session take place?

This beautiful wildflower session for these gorgeous children, took place in a picturesque flower field located in Swedesboro, NJ. This particular location stood out due to its exceptional beauty and the rarity of wildflowers blooming in New Jersey. Although we initially had a different wildflower spot in mind for these sessions, the discovery of this unique and hard-to-find field prompted a change of plans!

As the sun begins to set, the sky turns into a canvas of warm oranges and pinks, creating a magical atmosphere. 

The cornflower field has provided a beautiful backdrop for a memorable and inspiring photo shoot that will be cherished for years to come.

SEA ISLE CITY, NJ- The Perfect Family Session

Always A Fun Family Photo Shoot in Sea Isle City, NJ!

Once upon a time, there was a family who was in search of the perfect vacation destination. They wanted a place that was full of fun activities, delicious food, and, most importantly, a stunning beach. After much research and deliberation, they settled on Sea Isle City, NJ.

As soon as they arrived, they knew they had made the right choice. The family took a walk along the promenade, taking in the sights and sounds of the bustling beach town. They grabbed a delicious bite to eat at Fish Alley, where they indulged in some of the freshest seafood they had ever tasted.

All smiles for this family photo shoot at the Jersey Shore!

After a satisfying meal, the family headed out to enjoy some of the many activities that Sea Isle City had to offer. They rented a kayak at the whale marina and explored the stunning coastline, soaking in the beauty of the ocean and the surrounding landscape.

Feeling adventurous, the family decided to try their hand at fishing at Townsends Inlet. With the help of a knowledgeable guide, they caught a variety of fish, including flounder, sea bass, and even a shark!

As the day began to wind down, the family headed to Pirate Island for a round of mini-golf. They laughed and cheered as they competed against each other, trying to get the lowest score.

Ring around the rosie.. or could always play around the Sea Isle City, NJ Promenade?

Magical jumps and twirls on the beach!

Sisters for life!

Finally, it was time to hit the beach. The family spread out their towels and umbrellas and settled in for an afternoon of sun, sand, and surf. They took a dip in the cool water, splashed around, and even tried their hand at building a sandcastle.

During our photo session, as we meandered through the sandy dunes toward the picturesque ocean, I couldn't help but be captivated by the buoyant spirit of little A. She animatedly shared that her family was still relishing their time on the beach. Intrigued, I pressed forward, anticipation mounting in my heart. As we got closer, my joy swelled, for I beheld the enchanting scene before me. A circle of kinship, brimming with mirth and animated conversation, brought an irresistible charm to the shores. Their infectious energy amplified the electric air, heightening the anticipation for the forthcoming wedding festivities. The warmth radiating from their vibrant gathering engulfed me, filling me with an exhilarating sense of readiness to partake in the upcoming celebration.

As the sun began to set, the family decided to capture their memories with a Sea Isle City beach photography session. The photographer was able to capture the joy and love that the family shared as they played and laughed together on the beach.

I love family photoshoots at the beach!

As the family packed up their things and said goodbye to Sea Isle City, they knew that they had found their perfect vacation destination. They had made unforgettable memories, tried new things, and discovered all that this charming beach town had to offer.

All the magical rainbows at the Jersey Shore!

SIC is one of the best family destinations. Usually it is pretty quiet and the beaches are not very packed!

If you are vacationing at the Jersey Shore (or nearby Ocean City or Stone Harbor) and would love a unique family photo session, we’d love to work with you!

Happy Shooting, my friends!
