OCNJ Beach Photography | The M Family

Mom reached back in the spring to schedule her sunset beach photos in Ocean City, NJ. She mentioned that they had their third child since our last session together and that, it was a girl! yay! I know how beautiful and photogenic this family is, so adding another little baby to the mix would be the perfect addition to their beach photography session this summer!

We started near the dunes in Ocean City, NJ for the more traditional family portraits. I love capturing the emotion and special relationships between both parents, their little ones and the little ones together. It’s all so important to capture the dynamic as they were on that day because that’s what tells the story of their family.

Preparing Your Toddlers and Infants for Sunset Beach Photos in Ocean City, NJ

Since beach photography sessions are always at sunset, this could be 7 or 8 pm. Often this is bedtime for little people. Parents rarely have concerns since it’s vacation and typically they think it’s extra fun to be at the beach after dinner with their family. Late afternoon naps are encouraged and a later than usual dinner time is recommended. I always suggest a low key day. I realize how hard that is on vacation! Cutting beach time early is not always an easy task.  It does pay off at the end when everyone is happy and enjoying their family time during their session!

Thanks, mom and dad for trusting me with these memories! You smiled the entire time and look absolutely stunning!

These two are about 13 months apart, so the bond is extra special.
