Recently a pal asked if photographing at the beach allllll the time gets boring because it’s so much of the same. The answer is a hard NAH because while, yes, there is always sand and sea and sky, the people I photograph AND whatever show the sky puts on for us is always different.

Forrrrr example, this maternity session on the beach in Fenwick… when I showed up (5:45am, baby - rise & shine), there was a storm rolling around off the coast. I could see lightning streaks popping off in the distance. But it was so beautifully calm where we were. That sunrise timeframe is truly a favorite.

Another fun fact about this session - these two are high school sweethearts, welcoming their first baby very soon, and his family has been coming to Fenwick for ages! What better way to celebrate a baby on the way than taking photos with the person you love in a place that you love!!

Pack up the car, grab a cool drink, slather on the SPF, and get your family to the beach. And don’t forget to bring me along to capture all the fun 🙌☀️

Recently I put together an editorial styling guide for my booked clients - think curated themes for beach looks and non-beach ideas (like having me come capture your crab feast?!) that photograph beautifully on the coast AND help create images that feel like you.

There are 9 “on the beach” themes and 6 “beach house” concepts. This session perfectly toes the line of ~popsicle summer~ and ~day at the beach~ vibes!

Let’s make images that actually look like your summer.

A different kind of before and after! 💀😂🤭

When it comes to editing requests - I try to honor as many as I can, however, I’m unable to do extensive body modifications. Your little one got a black eye, sure no problem. A couple of pimples, they gone. You want to make it look like your kid is FLYING, I got you. But requests like “make me look like I lost 10lbs” or “fix my crooked nose” - not my forte. My rule for edits is if it’s not going to be there next week, I can most likely accommodate!

Shoulder season in Fenwick Island will always have my heart!

Last week during this sunset session we were chilly and windswept… and this week feels like full-on summer. The Delaware coast keeps us guessing 🫪

These golden hour moments of Katelyn and her three hilarious characters were gorgeous despite the cool air. We were barefoot, sandy, salty, and soaking up an empty beach before the season begins.

If you’ve been thinking about sunset family photos in Fenwick Island, Bethany Beach, or along the Delaware/Maryland beaches, get on the books now ☀️

Five years later, and they still look at each other like that. 🥰

I first photographed Meghan & Sergio for their engagement session in DC and their wedding in Salisbury back in 2021! Getting to document them again (now that I live on the Delaware coast) for their anniversary portraits was such a gift. Lewes never disappoints as a backdrop.

Mom. Mommy. Mama. Ma. Mother. Mum.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the strong women who’ve taken on the wild, wonderful job of raising humans. The love and endurance it takes is truly something to witness and I’m so grateful for every one of you in my life.

My job… is just beach.

Fenwick in the off season is a certain kind of special. I’m ready to dive back in to photo busy season but will also miss this calm!

Matching dresses. Shoulder rides. A baby who cannot stop grinning. 🥹

Here’s my biggest tip for beach photos with little ones: don’t try to control them the whole time. Yes, we’ll get the posed stuff - everyone together, looking at the camera, that whole deal. But the running, the spinning, the climbing on dad - that’s where the core memories are made!

who doesn’t love a smiley, squishy cheeked, leg-roll-showing baby on the beach?!
