I was on vacation in Strathmere, New Jersey this summer (first family vacation in SIX years!). I met up with Elise and Phil for a really short, quick beach maternity session, and I’m so happy we did!

Let me just scream this from the rooftops: I LOVE SHOOTING AT THE BEACH. I would love to photograph more beach weddings, that is a sure fact. Their session was so fun, romantic, breezy and we had the best light.

If you are thinking about doing a beach maternity session… Do it!!! Take me back to the beach! 

ALSO! I know I say this a lot, but it is truly worth repeating. You have no idea how cool and special it is to see my couples go from engaged to married to pregnant to parents of many. I love seeing my bride & grooms start families! I can absolutely see a shift in them in every season of their lives. It is so lovely that I can bear witness to their growth like this. I just love my couples so dang much!

Ps. For more proof that I love photographing at the beach – check out this gorgeous wedding in Palm Beach, Florida. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will travel to the beach for you… look no further!
