SUMMER 2026 FAMILIES!
Whether you're gathering the whole family, soaking in the quiet elegance of Avalon and Stone Harbor, chasing boardwalk lights, or wandering through sun-kissed dunes — every Jersey Shore town tells your story a little differently.
portraits in atlantic city, ventnor, margate, longport, ocean city, strathmere, sea isle city, avalon, stone harbor, wildwood, Cape May, and along the Jersey Shore beach towns!
timeless family beach photography
Beach sessions allow me to blend natural golden-hour light with professional off-camera lighting. By balancing the glow of the sunset with controlled light, I preserve the warmth of the shoreline while ensuring your family looks polished and beautifully lit — creating vibrant, timeless portraits that feel natural, yet elevated beyond what the eye alone can see.
The Jersey Shore isn’t just where you vacation.
It’s where your kids learn to chase waves.
Where grandparents laugh a little louder.
Where your family story unfolds every summer.
✔ 13+ years experience

why choose
bokeh love photography?
I photograph family portraits throughout Atlantic City, Ventnor City, Margate City, Longport, Ocean City, Strathmere, Sea Isle City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, Wildwood, and Cape May — capturing families all along the Jersey Shore with relaxed, sunset beach sessions that feel effortless, natural, and full of connection.
Your gallery is delivered with ALL of the fully edited digital images from your session within 1 week of your session. There is no need to worry about which images to choose. You get them all! You can share your gallery with your family members and they all have access to download them.
Gallery delivery:
We begin at golden hour, when the light turns soft and glowing, and wander down the beach path together. Every few steps brings something new to discover — tall dunes, sea grass swaying, the sound of waves getting closer. I let the kids explore at their own pace, pausing naturally along the way for relaxed, beautiful portraits that never feel forced. By the time we reach the shoreline, the ocean becomes both a breathtaking backdrop and the perfect little reward for all their adventurous spirits.
YOUR session (up to 60 minutes):
Not sure of what to wear? Just ask! I will send you example on what to wear, and which colors will look best for your chosen location. If you are unsure of a location, I have an entire database of different beaches along the jersey shore, complete with GPS coordinates, pictures and notes from each location that I can share in an easy to read PDF!
Style & Location planning assistance:
You can select your date from my online booking system, with access to my calendar for easy date & time selection! If this is a family vacation, select a date early in your trip, to leave room for a rain date. I select a rain date that week that works for both of us! Beach sessions are booked Monday-Thursday and in some cases Friday.

KIND WORDS
The experience was fun, the mix of posed and candid photos was perfect for us, and the delivered images knocked my socks off. I have to also note that I have a son with special needs and Lauren went above and beyond to make him comfortable during our session. Five stars.

the faces behind the love
She has taken photos for my a number of times from 2015 to now, including engagement photos on Long Island, wedding photos in the Bahamas, newborn photos in NY and annual family photos in NC. She is AMAZING. I wish she was my neighbor and could take photos of every special event in our lives!
