20 fingers 20 toes | kendall+brooke

lauren and i were super excited to meet kendall+brooke for the first time. i mean seriously, is there anything better than two newborn twin girls? they are just so precious. our portrait session took place at the twins home so they would feel all nice and cozy in their own environment, even though they have only been living there themselves for a few months. (: below are some of our favorite moments from the time we spent together. congratulations to mom & dad on the growing family – good luck keeping up through the years. enjoy.

how to rock the beach portrait | shannon+rj

how do you rock beach portraits? you don’t actually shoot the whole session on the beach, that’s how.

as a photographer, i get plenty of requests to head over the beach to do engagement and portrait sessions. don’t get me wrong i love the beach and there are moments that all the elements come together and you can capture an unbelievable photograph. but in general, the beach holds a lot of obstacles for a photographer. photographing couples on the beach means you will be dealing with a massive open space that provides no shelter from the sun. as you’ll see in the images below, i tend to favor shooting near or around the beach for added elements and interest before actually stepping foot on the sand itself. the goal is to provide the best of both worlds for my clients – a little urban fun and a beautiful romantic beach sunset. (:

with that said, a good photograph has more ingredients involved than just the environment where it was shot. i would get nowhere without the awesomeness of my clients. shannon + rj decided they would bring their own dose of awesome power with them to their engagement shoot in ocean city, nj. thank you guys for the opportunity to photograph you during this special time in your lives and going along with all my crazy ideas as we walked around ocean city together. enjoy.

remember what i said before – “it takes all the elements to align just perfectly for an unbelievable beach photo” well, the picture below is my favorite of the day. (: i love the harmony of the dune grass, amazing couple, perfect dip kiss, distant pier, and beautiful sunset. total “WIN” in my book.

Margate City, NJ Engagement: Jessica+Brad

one stunning, sweet, adorable girl: √ - one handsome, kind, athletic guy: √ – one super dog of awesomeness: √

i can’t say enough wonderful things about jess + brad. i have known brad since high school and have had the pleasure of becoming friends with his beautiful fiance’ jess this last year or so. we all met over in margate for a little walk around the town & beach for their engagement photo session. these two were so fun to hang with for the afternoon (pure happy) and i am seriously considering dognapping their bulldog “chubs” when they head down to the dominican republic for there wedding next week. congratulations guys! i hope you have a blast in the islands, lauren and i will be thinking of you and sending happy vibes over the waters.. enjoy.

i felt like it was only fitting to snag a spider shot for a bride and groom who will be getting married over halloween…

when chubs finally made an appearance towards the end of the session i had no idea he would go “tasmanian devil” on the basketball. it think he believes he can swallow the ball. however, with the size of that mouth, i wouldn’t put it past him. (;
