I Love a Summer Day

One of my all-time favorite family “unportraits” came out of this shoot at the Jersey Shore.


Foggy Day at Spring Lake

It was a foggy, rainy day, but Jennifer’s sister was headed back to California, so we shot anyway. Awesome!


Too Many Favorites at Bradley Beach

One of my all-time favorite slide shows, it gives me chills every time I watch it.


On Location With Steve

A Beautiful Family

Paige and John were married in Spring Lake. We took the family back for a visit.


Coming Soon: Spring Lake

A sneak peak at Paige and John’s Spring Lake fall session.

Laci at Bradley Beach

I enjoy nothing more than going to the beach on a warm early spring day with Laci!


At Bradley Beach

Even though it was only somewhat chilly, there weren’t many people around. Nice and quiet, that’s how I like the beach.
