Eric + Jessie get married in Ocean City!
On a gorgeous April day in Ocean City, New Jersey Jessie and Eric tied the knot! No two weddings are the same at the Flanders Hotel, and there’s was full of personality. We started off in the Penthouse Suite for Jessie’s getting ready with her closest girls. Next, we set up a First Look for Jessie in Eric in the stunning Hall of Mirrors before heading to the boardwalk for bridal party portraits. The stunning bride, in her Morilee wedding gown, and her groom, exchanged vows in the Candlelight Ballroom before attending their cocktail hour and dancing the night away during their reception. Congratulations Mr. + Mrs. Kruat!

Ocean City NJ Beach Family Photography Sessions FAQs
Ocean City NJ Beach Photography by Styled Pink Photography. OCNJ photography for family sessions in the summer, we will be your photographer in Ocean City NJ! As an NJ Beach Photographer I'm well-versed in beach lighting and posing families. Here are some of the most common questions about beach sessions!
Question: What’s included in our Ocean City NJ family session?
Answer: Your photography session includes one hour of photography coverage that takes place during Golden Hour (one hour before sunset). Eight high-resolution, edited, digital photographs are included that you will choose after our session together. You may purchase additional digital photographs, prints, or wall art if you choose.
Question: What should we wear to our family beach photograph session?
Answer: The best outfit is one that you feel comfortable and confident in! Now let’s get into specifics. Avoid clothing with logos and small patterns (They may cause moiré, which is a visual effect that happens with two similar patterns overlap, creating new, wavy, or unwanted stripes of color that go across a photo that wasn’t originally there). I suggest bright solid colors with a few small accessories. I love when families coordinate (not match). The days of everyone wearing a white shirt and jeans have long gone by. However, families wearing different shades of one or two colors look well put together! Speaking of accessories, most clients opt to go barefoot on the beach, if you prefer shoes, I would stick with something casual that you can walk along the beach in.
Question: What happens if there’s a chance of rain?
Answer: I try to make the call as late as comfortably possible for your family. If you have hair and makeup scheduled, you’ll likely need 24 hour cancellation notice, so we will decide the day prior to our scheduled session. If you do not have any appointments and are comfortable making the call the day of your session, I would make the decision 5 hours before your scheduled shoot. If we decide we need to reschedule, I leave the end of my week open for these situations, and we’ll schedule a mutually agreed date.
Question: Why must we shoot so late in the evening?
Answer: Beach sessions are full of sunshine, which is amazing, unless the sun is so bright that it’s causing harsh shadows and unforgiving. I love Golden Hour, which is the hour leading up to sunset, when the light is soft with a golden hue and very flattering, in the summer this can be around 7:00pm, give or take.
Question: Can I bring extended family along to our session?
Answer: Yes! Extended family is welcome for no extra fee, if the total group is 12 people or under. If there are more than 12 people, that may require an additional photographer and would be an extra charge.
Question: What is your photography style?
Answer: I love a mixture of posed AND candid photos. I start with the posed photographs and love to capture parents/grandparents playing with children, playing with kites, searching for the perfect shell, etc. As a parent myself, sometimes it feels like family sessions may not be going well, but I’m quick to snap photos, and trust me, I’ve got you covered! I want all families to have fun, relax, and enjoy the most magical evening together! (Non-messy food bribes are encouraged!)
Question: How do I book?
Answer: Simply click this link and select your desired date/time. Your completed purchase secures your session and you will hear from me shortly after booking!

Medford New Jersey Family Photography Session with a Fellow Photography Bestie
Every November, photographers like me realize, “Hey, we didn’t schedule our OWN family photos!” So I immediately reached out to a friend/photographer of mine, of Laura Leigh Photo, to see if she could fit my family into her schedule AND to see if she had gotten her own family photographed yet. We met literally on a side of the road in November for a quick family session between getting the kids off the bus, and the sun setting at 4:30pm. Photographing this family is always filled with giggles, smiles, and of course a little roughhousing (read: boys). This was so much fun and I cannot wait to see which random road we end up on next year!
Ocean City New Jersey Family Photography Session Fun with the S Family
As a photographer, there's nothing quite like the joy of capturing precious family moments, especially when the backdrop is a sun-soaked beach town like Ocean City, New Jersey (my favorite beach town!). This summer, I had the pleasure of photographing the adventurous S family as they spent the evening in their summer haven, creating memories to last a lifetime. Their session was the perfect mix of what I love to offer my clients- posed AND candid moments. Let’s all hold our coffee close and pretend it’s a warm August evening as we reminisce on this gorgeous session filled with smiles, boats, and kites!
Ocean City New Jersey Extended Family Photography Session
I was thrilled to meet up with the A family on a beautiful August evening. Every year, the extended family gathers in Ocean City, New Jersey for a weeklong tradition of beach days, cousin playtime, and multigenerational family fun. Photographing the same family for the second year in a row has been an extraordinary experience. It has reinforced my belief in the power of photography to capture not only moments but also the beautiful journey of life. The A family's story continues to unfold, and I can't wait to see how it evolves in the years to come. As a photographer, I'm privileged to be a part of their story, freezing these cherished moments in time for them to treasure forever.
