During the summer, I do so many families who are on vacation in the Jersey Shore. I think it is such a great time to do family photos. Often, it is an extended family photo session.  Brothers, sisters, parents, cousins, and grandparents all on vacation enjoying family time that doesn’t happen that often. Many branches of the family tree that may be spread out, all join together for a week or so and create so many cherished memories. I feel so honored to be able to capture that great big group shot that will be hanging in all the homes for years as well as all the individual family pictures and groupings. Grandparents with grandkids, all the cousins, lifeguard stand and boat pictures, just to name a few.

The M family came from all over the Northeast to spend a week in Avalon, NJ. The grandparents with their five kids and all their families joined me on the beach for a sunset session.  There was so much fun and humor with everyone, especially with the grandparents.  I was able to capture so many fun moments such as chasing kids, mom kisses, big and little cousin time, and even a gymnast backhandspring!
