Ocean City Beach Family Portrait

Kim and I photographed my cousin Jen and her now husband Richie’s wedding back in May and since we didn’t have a chance to do an engagement session we decided it would be great to do a family portrait on the beach with their two beautiful children Ava and Dominick. We met them on an absolutely perfect end-of-summer evening on the beach in Ocean City and documented them playing with their kids.

Ava had a wonderful time running around in the sand and splashing in the water and Dominick, well Dominick had his own fun eating his Goldfish crackers and wondering what these two weird cameras were always pointing at him for. I kinda found it funny to watch him eating the Goldfish, sand and all and he just didn’t care! Thanks Jen, Richie, Ava, and Dominick for hanging out with us on the beach and here are a few of my favorite shots from that evening.

Robin & Family

A friend of Robin’s gave her a portrait session as a gift so she met Kim and I on the Ocean City beach with her two girls Madison and Rylee. This was actually the third try for all of us because Robin’s family had a bad luck streak of broken bones (2 I believe) that forced us to reschedule but it was completely worth the wait and I have to thank Robin for hanging in there.

I think the girls came to play so that’s exactly what we did and it turned out awesome. Robin seemed so excited that her girls were having fun. She had asked us for some not-so-posed pictures as she already had plenty of that style, we were happy to oblige. Rylee, the little one was hilarious, at one point specifically requesting that Kim take her picture and kicking me to the curb, haha, which was fine because I was able to get a few great shots of Madison then. We ended the evening with a gorgeous sunset and a few silhouettes of the girls playing in the ocean. Over all it was another great family portrait on the beach. Now on to the pics:

Hello blog reader, it’s been a while.

It’s getting close to almost two weeks since I’ve last posted here and I will be trying to remedy that this weekend. I have a wedding for Kim today and off Saturday and Sunday. Off in the sense of I’ll be trying to finish this amazing family portrait I photographed this past Wednesday. Robin and her two girls on the beach in Ocean City,
we had perfect weather,
we had perfect light,
we had perfect subjects,
we had it all.

Check back soon – photo above is from Kim and i love it.

Thanks,

Family Portrait on the Beach

Yesterday afternoon Kim and I met Angela and Mike and their lovely daughter at a beach in Ocean City, NJ to photograph them all playing on the beach. Originally the weather was saying it was going to rain and possibly thunderstorm, but it turned out to be a perfect day on the beach. It wasn’t hot, the sun was out and there were barely any people on the beach at 5:30. This family was terrific also, they were all having fun and specifically their daughter was perfect. Every time I would ask the adults to look at the camera she was right there with them looking at the camera and smiling, It was really perfect. Kim was along as well and she got some amazing shots also (which are labeled below). You can really see how much fun they were all having and I think the baby’s smile says it all.
