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.

As a photographer, there’s nothing quite as rewarding as being entrusted with the task of capturing the love, laughter, and cherished moments of an extended family.

However, this dreamy scenario doesn’t come without it’s fair share of challenges. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the preparation of extended family beach that make for a successful outcome.

Golden Hour: Nature’s Perfect Lighting

This is the prime time to capture the connections and emotions that make extended family sessions so special. The golden hues not only illuminate the subjects but also the bonds that tie them together. Pair that with a more secluded location in Ocean City, New Jersey or another location beach, and a cool breeze- it’s a recipe for comfort and good times.

Casual Elegance of Beach Attire

Beach photography embraces a more relaxed and comfortable approach. Families usually opt for coordinated yet casual outfits that reflect their personalities while allowing them to move freely. Flowing dresses, linen shirts, and bare feet contribute to an effortlessly elegant aesthetic!

Timeless Treasure

The beauty of the session lies in its ability to transport viewers back in time. A well-framed photograph not only captures faces but also the emotions, laughter, and bonds that define a family. They’re reminders of the simple pleasures of life, the importance of connection, and the love that weaves through generations.

Every moment holds a story waiting to be captured. So don’t hesitate- take the leap and schedule your own extended family session to celebrate life, love, and the timeline bond between your family. Contact me!
