Jersey Shore Beach Photographer

Year after year, our New Jersey beach sessions have become the hottest ticket in town, selling out faster than sunscreen on a scorching summer day. I like the reference actually, but trying to be funny here. The secret? I am not just a photographer; I’m a “memory-maker”, capturing the essence of joy and love against the backdrop of some of the East Coast's most iconic beach destinations.

Photographer Serving Locations from Atlantic City to Cape May:

Our lens spans the entire Jersey Shore, from the glittering lights of Atlantic City to the Victorian charm of Cape May. Whether it's the vibrant energy of Ocean City, the serene beauty of Sea Isle, the quaint allure of Stone Harbor, or the classic nostalgia of Wildwood – we're there, ready to freeze those precious moments in time. It’s time to get out the beach gear soon as summer will arrive sooner than you expect!

This photo was taken on the beach in LBI. We actually have this boat available for props. These are so much fun!

Our Beach Sessions-More Than Just Sand and Sun:

What sets our beach sessions apart? It's not just about capturing your family against the backdrop of the waves (although we do that spectacularly!). It's about creating an experience. Picture Ferris wheel adventures, roller coaster fun, and the perfect blend of sea breeze and laughter. I've scouted the best spots, for the best light…. including our favorite hidden gem in Ocean City with a myriad of backgrounds that will make your photos truly unique.

Why Book Early (especially, those Wildwood Beach Portraits).

Given our track record of selling out every year, securing your spot early is not just a suggestion – it's a necessity. These beach sessions are like a limited edition, and once the slots are gone, they're gone. Don't miss your chance to turn ordinary moments into extraordinary memories.

Beautiful capture along the Delaware Bay.

Magical ferris wheel photos always are the best and our favorite.

Family Portrait Session on Broad Street Philadelphia

A Timeless Experience

Broad Street in Philadelphia—one of the city's most iconic and bustling streets—was the perfect backdrop for a memorable family photo shoot. As the golden hour approached, a lovely family of three arrived, ready to make memories that would last a lifetime.

Mom and dad!

Mom, radiant in a red sequin dress, effortlessly complemented the city’s skyline with her sparkling smile. Dad, looking dashing in a sharp suit, stood proudly next to her, offering her a loving gaze that only a father could give. And then there was their six-year-old daughter—adorable beyond words, in a dress perfectly chosen to match her parents. She was the true star of the session, her excitement and joy shining brighter than the setting sun.

Love this street in Philly.

A Perfect Philadelphia Family Photo Shoot Location

As the session unfolded, Broad Street’s historic architecture and vibrant energy provided the ideal setting. The city seemed to embrace the family, with sunlight casting soft hues over the cobblestones and old landmarks. The juxtaposition of family love against the rich history of Philadelphia made for photos that were more than just posed pictures—they were moments frozen in time.

The fire truck made for a really cool photo!

As I clicked away, the family shared laughs, playful glances, and tender hugs. Passersby couldn’t help but stop and smile at the heartwarming scene, as if witnessing a piece of love and joy unfolding right there on the streets of Philadelphia.

Daddy and his little lady!

Creating Timeless Memories in Philadelphia

At Shooting Star Photography, we love making every session fun, relaxed, and unforgettable. And this shoot was no exception! The stunning backdrop of Broad Street, combined with the family's natural chemistry, created an atmosphere where time seemed to slow down. In the midst of Philadelphia’s vibrant pace, this close-knit family found a moment of peace, where the love they shared was all that mattered.

Mommy is the best!

As the session concluded, the soft golden glow of the sunset added a magical finish to their day. The moments captured on film would live on forever, hanging proudly in their home as a reminder of the bonds they shared and the city that witnessed their love story.

The cutest family ever!

Why Choose Broad Street for Your Family Photo Shoot?

Broad Street is more than just a major thoroughfare; it's a place where history meets modern life. Known for its historical landmarks, such as City Hall and the Kimmel Center, this iconic street has seen many important moments throughout history. It’s no surprise that it serves as an ideal location for family portraits. Whether you're walking in the shadow of the Philadelphia Museum of Art or pausing near the historic cobblestones, every corner offers a photo opportunity like no other.

Always have to get an in the air shot before the kiddo gets too big!

New Jersey Beach Sessions

Magical New Jersey Beach Sessions

I truly love the beach and one of my favorite sessions to do. From June until September this year, that is basically all I did besides lavender sessions. The New Jersey shore was my home and I honestly don’t mind it one bit.We did sessions in LBI, Atlantic City, Ocean City, Sea Isle, Avalon, Stone Harbor, Wildwood and Cape May Beach sessions are our most coveted sessions and they tend to sell out quickly.My go to look is generally pastels. I love adding beautiful color to beach skies. So I usually ask clients to stay with a general color theme when they come into our sessions.

Twirling adds movement and fun to your Ocean City, New Jersey photo shoot!

I love baby blues, pinks, yellows and lilacs for the beach. Lavender is ultimately my favorite. I love how I can edit around this color and incorporate all the lovely beach tones. I even provide the wardrobe for this color scheme so as to make everything look perfect.For something dramatic, like maternity photographer, black can even be eye catching. However, wouldn’t suggest an entire family in black as would be too harsh for an entire family.This little lady killed her beach session this year. She’s wearing a cute little romper from tutu du monde and holding a lantern.These lanterns are a huge hit. I have a ton of them with different light combos.

Jersey Shore beach sessions offer a wide variety of fun backdrops for the whole family!

New Jersey family beach sessions can be gorgeous for several reasons:

1. Scenic Beaches: New Jersey boasts a stunning coastline with beautiful beaches. From the sandy shores of Cape May to the vibrant boardwalks of Seaside Heights, there are numerous picturesque locations for family beach sessions. The natural beauty of the coastline provides a visually appealing backdrop for photography.

2. Golden Hour Lighting: The lighting during the golden hour, which occurs around sunrise or sunset, is particularly flattering for photography. The soft, warm light creates a magical ambiance, casting a beautiful glow on the subjects and the surrounding beach scenery. This lighting enhances the overall aesthetics of the family beach sessions, resulting in stunning images.

3. Diverse Landscapes: New Jersey's beaches offer a diverse range of landscapes. From wide stretches of sand dunes to rocky cliffs, each beach has its unique features. This variety allows photographers to experiment with different compositions and capture a wide range of images, adding depth and interest to the family beach sessions.

4. Candid and Relaxed Atmosphere: The beach setting often evokes a sense of relaxation, making it easier for families to feel at ease during the photoshoot. When people are comfortable and relaxed, it translates into natural and candid moments. These genuine interactions and expressions create heartfelt and beautiful photographs that capture the essence of family bonds.

5. Playful Activities: Beaches provide a playful and interactive environment for families to engage in various activities. Building sandcastles, splashing in the waves, flying kites, or playing beach games can result in joyful and lively moments. These activities bring out the genuine happiness and connection between family members, making the images vibrant and full of life.

6. Seasonal Changes: New Jersey experiences distinct seasons, and each season offers a unique atmosphere for beach photography. Whether it's the colorful foliage of autumn, the blooming flowers of spring, or the sun-soaked days of summer, the changing seasons provide different moods and backdrops for capturing beautiful family beach sessions throughout the year.

Pastels are the best at the Jersey Shore for your beach session!

Overall, the combination of New Jersey's scenic beaches, beautiful lighting, diverse landscapes, relaxed atmosphere, playful activities, and seasonal variations contributes to the gorgeousness of family beach sessions in the state.If you are a photographer and working with little children, this can be a lifesaver. The kiddos get fascinated with them. It also adds some artistic pop to your images.Try them out in your next session! All you need is a lantern and battery powered lights and voila!
