The warm and sunny days of the summer brings Mermaid Photo Sessions to the Jersey Shore. Mermaid photography sessions are a themed portrait session that allows little girls to become a mermaid in their own mermaid tail.  Options for tails include crochet or swimmable tails.

Stone Harbor is ideal beach location because it offers a long rock jetty as a setting as well as a sparse beach to be a wonderful shooting location.

These lucky girls were fortunate bunch since we sold out our spots so quickly!

I am looking forward to trying some new spots along the Jersey Shore.

Mermaid Photo Minisessions, a night in Cape May

I love Cape May.  Being all the way at the end has benefits, and that main benefit is a sunset on the beach. Besides all the charm, lighthouses, and architecture, the light in Cape May is one of the best.

We did a wide variety of ages that night, and we had crochet and swim fins. We had sisters and we had babies. Every little girl instantly smiles once she is in her mermaid outfit. All the girls channeled their inner mermaid and knocked my socks off.

Best Beaches at the Jersey Shore for Family Portraits

Best Beaches at the Jersey Shore for Family Portraits. NJ is a great place for family memories and photos.

New Jersey beaches are a mecca for vacationing families from all over the Tri- State area. And one of the most tried traditions is getting your family portraits taken on the beach. The summer is one of my busier times with all the vacationing family sessions. Since I grew up in South Jersey and most of my photography sessions and experience are in that area. I will keep my list to include Atantic and Cape May counties only. I am sure that Central Jersey has a ton of beautiful beaches, but ours is better! wink wink.

1. Cape May, New Jersey

Historic Cape May has a victorian touch and the best sunsets with a wonderful lighthouse for a scenic landscape. Cove Beach is one of my most favorite beach photography spots around! Cape May beaches have a versatile landscape. Most beaches don’t allow sunset views from the beach. Cape May also has some under developed open land around many of the bay beaches. It gives a feel unlike all of New Jersey.

2.  Avalon, NJ

Secluded beaches with sprawling dunes and long pathways to a white sand are the cornerstone of Avalon beaches. I  love the long pathways that I start every session. It allows enough shade to be able to do sessions earlier for the little ones whose bedtimes are much earlier than our summer golden hours. Sunrise sessions have become a fan favorite since it gives a certain feel that is good for little ones as well. Having the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean allows for some beautiful silhouettes that are something that I love being able to provide for all my families.

Avalon NJ is the perfect spot for family beach photos with variety of secluded spots that are so pretty.

 

3.  Ocean City, NJ

The family mecca for the boardwalk, and sun and surf is Ocean City. Often labeled,  America’s Greatest Family Resort, with a ferris wheel as a backdrop always makes for some fun family photos. The extreme north and south end of the eight miles of beach are photographer favorite gems.

Ocean City NJ is also one of my favorite South Jersey beaches for family pictures

The C Cousins were visiting Wildwood Crest, NJ from Baltimore, Maryland area. They usually visit Ocean City Maryland but wanted to try our New Jersey beaches and soft sand!  They were such a fun bunch with lots of silly faces, lots of energy, and sweet hugs.

Wildwood Crest is a gem of a town for vacationing families. The beaches are large with plenty of room for kids to run and play in the sand and surf.

One of my favorite images of a family photo session is the running shot.  It breaks up the constant posing of sitting and smiling.  It allows kids to get some energy out and I can always get a really great smile from all the kids.  It helps that we do it about 5 times on average.

I love that these cousins were very into hugging, and silly faces, which allows so many fun loving images. If you want to schedule your NJ Beach Family Photos, contact us today.
