Growing up in Manasquan, I’ve got an affinity for the beautiful beaches and nature New Jersey has to offer - so these are my personal top three favorite spots. There are TONS more, but these are the ones I tend to gravitate towards.
1. Fishermans Cove
Location : Manasquan, NJ
Why I love this place : It’s such a diverse spot with so much to offer! You get the beach and the woods all in one. Being located just inside the Manasquan Inlet, the water is always calm and shallow, which is great for photographs but also awesome if you want to let the kids jump in the water at the end of the session. Even better, towards the end of summer the sun sets over the water - a rarity in New Jersey!

2. Sea Girt Beach
Location : Sea Girt, NJ
Why I love this place : This is a wonderful spot for your family portraits. Vines grow wild down a winding sandy path while you make your way to the beach! Later in the day it becomes shady too, which is wonderful for your portraits and still getting to enjoy the setting sun down at the beach!
Allaire State Park
Location : Wall Township, NJ
Why I love this place : The options are nearly endless in this beautiful park. Nature inspires at every turn, whether you are just out of the parking lot or want to go on a family hike through the woods. There are older buildings in the village that are great to photograph nearby too. It’s just an all around great location!

BONUS LOCATION - Your Home!!
Why I love this place : Your home holds so many of your memories, sometimes it’s clearly the best place for your portrait experience. Whether you’ve got a farm, a postage stamp yard or no outdoor space at all, home is where the heart is. I love photographing families in their home, and those families always cherish the deeper connections in their artwork.
