The M families | Avalon Beach Vacation

Ideas for family photos at the beach and what to wearblack and white outfits for family pictures at the beach in NJAvalon Beach vacation photographyfamily picture ideas with older kidsNJ family photographerFamily Photographer in South Jersey 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!

I often don’t get many takers to meet me all dressed on the beach at sunrise to get pictures taken on their vacation.  I get it! Sleep is so premium anyways and getting up early is hard to do when all you want to do is sleep. Believe me, this girl loves her sleep. I don’t see tons of sunrises. But this session makes me want to change that…

When Brooke called me to say that she wanted me to capture their family photo session while they are visiting Avalon, NJ from Wisconsin, I was booked every night. The week of July Fourth is always a busy one with lots of vacationers.  The only thing I had to offer was a sunrise session. For a group of 15 with lots of littles! When she said they would take it, I was shocked. I can’t imagine getting all those people ready and out the door for a sunrise session. But they were there, all ready to go.

The morning was beautiful.  The sky was crisp, and the kids were tired enough to not want to roll around in the sand, but awake enough to smile.  Capturing the whole family is a fun challenge. The three boys, their families, and their parents all live in Wisconsin. They were visiting Avalon where they have family and enjoyed the beaches of New Jersey for the first time as a family.  Their kids had a ball spending the week in the ocean, building sandcastles, and riding the waves.  I feel it was such an honor to capture this family.  They are special to me now and I will think of them always.
