Sunset Beach | A sunset family beach session in Wildwood Crest, NJ

A Family Beach Session in Wildwood Crest, NJ

Meeting this adorable family for a sunset family beach session in Wildwood Crest, NJ was so much fun! The family of three were down vacationing at the Diamond Beach Resort and wanted to capture some amazing family beach photos to remember their time down at the Jersey Shore.

The iconic fishing pier is one of my favorite places in Wildwood Crest to capture families. The sunset highlights on the grasses as well as the smiles and backlit faces. This family of three from Pennsylvania were so much fun. Lots of silly smiles provided good pictures. I hope they are able to think about their vacation and smile because they have this precious images to remind them of such a wonderful family vacation.

brothers at the beach in north wildwood, nj

I have four boys so when I met these brothers at the beach for this adorable family session, I saw my boys in them that was not too long ago. All the spunk and feistiness of small boys who are excited and exhausted from a beach vacation. yep, all this was my life many a years ago. Asking boys to stand so close while I take pictures always results in a shove, squeeze, or tight hug. But it is so fun to see that phase and to relive this stage for just a bit. Running is a must have in any small kid session mostly for me because it allows them to get energy out. I love the genuine smiles that running and playing in the ocean in clothes at the end of the session always provides. Who doesn’t love running into the ocean with clothes on anyway?

The Lee Family | Family Beach Photography in Avalon NJ

A session of family beach photography in Avalon NJ with the Lee Family of Laurence Harbor, NJ. Avalon is a premier vacation spot for many Main Line families, and has so many photography favorites of mine. It is on my top 5 favorite locations to shoot my beach portraits! The landscape is diverse in beach dunes, long paths, beautiful ocean shores, plus many paths have lots of vegetation and shade! There are a family of skunks that like to come and say hello on a certain street, but we tend to stay clear of their home so they are cool with me! Avalon has a famous tagline, Cooler by a Mile, but this phrase is more factual than just a slogan. Avalon beaches do reach out by about a mile so they are truthful with their claim. The town gets the ocean breeze close to a mile before any other barrier island so it’s cooler by a mile to say the least! The Lee family have two adventurous boys that led me on an exploration of some ocean habitats. We looked for lots of fossils and shells and enjoyed a bird nests along our path. I enjoyed their energy and hoped I captured the closeness these two boys have.

Margate NJ Family Beach Photography | The Mazur Family

Margate NJ Family Beach Photography captured by Karrie Davis Photography. The Mazur Family really wanted to capture a pier in the background, Margate, New Jersey was my first choice. The Margate fishing pier jets out into the ocean and allows for a perfect background for the classic beach family portrait. The weather was perfect and while a tad windy, the ocean breeze felt like a wonderful fan with a beautiful salty smell that is home to many of us who grew up at the shore. I always try and get family group shots first, then move into individual shots, and lastly, water shots. Who doesn’t love putting their feet into the ocean???

“Cousins are the perfect Best Friends”

This cousin session in Ocean City, NJ was a fun filled, sand getting in everywhere, water where their Moms had hope there was none, crazy fueled, beautiful mess. These kiddies had lots of energy and brought the love in this session. Their grandparents wanted a session with their grandkids, and bought each child a beautiful monogrammed shirt with their initials. We enjoyed sand castle making, running along the water, running in the water, exploring the lifeguard stand, and me trying to capture it all with my camera. But they delivered in funny smiles and tight hugs for each other. So much fun and so lucky to be able to capture their family bonds.
