Family Photos

The beach is not only a great place to take pictures, but it is my favorite location, in particular, to take family photos. But, beach sessions can be tricky between the harsh lighting, the wind and crowds and family photography is also pretty tough! I had to make many mistakes before coming up with a system that worked well for me. In this post, I am going to share my best tips to help you prepare for, shoot and edit the best beach family photo session you have ever had.

Family beach sessions can be tricky, between the lighting, windy, and getting all the best smiles from your little ones. But with a little patience, and a lot of trust, I will get the shots you need & want!

Kira reached out to me about Lavallette Family Photos in honor of her Mother’s birthday. I love doing beach photos at Golden Hour (the hour before sunset) because the light is so dreamy! I met Kira and her family in front of their newly finished beach house on summer evening. We had the best time and made great memories together!

Emily and her family live in Austin, Texas. While they were visiting her husband’s family at the Jersey shore, they knew they had to document the occasion with family photos. They rented a house in Seaside Park, New Jersey.

I still can’t believe they drove to New Jersey from Texas! It was a 24 Hour Drive! They recovered quickly from the drive because after arriving to the Jersey shore late Saturday night, we photographed their family session just a few days later at Sunset on the beach.
