A little over a year ago, I had the joy of capturing Jackie and Rich’s wedding, a day filled with love and laughter. So, I was beyond thrilled when Jackie reached out to me again, this time for her Seaside Heights Maternity and newborn photos. Our recent family/maternity session in Seaside Heights, NJ, was nothing short of magical.
Seaside Heights, with its stunning beaches and charming rustic scenes, gave the perfect backdrop for this beautiful family’s new chapter. The session was a delightful blend of traditional portraits and spontaneous candid images, capturing the essence of this exciting time.
First, Jackie, radiant and embracing motherhood, wore a bright blue dress that perfectly accentuated her baby bump. Her choice of color complemented the seaside backdrop and symbolized the joy and depth of her journey into motherhood. Beside her, the proud dad, supportive and loving, gave off a relaxed vibe in his casual shirt and shorts. The excitement was undeniable in their two beautiful daughters. They were dressed in pretty floral dresses. Bursting with joy at the thought of their new role as big sisters. Their innocent smiles and playful antics added a layer of warmth and joy to the session.
Our Seaside Heights maternity shoot began on the rustic wooden bridge, a spot that offered a unique blend of natural beauty and a hint of nostalgia. As we moved to the beach, the soft, golden light of the setting sun created a dreamlike quality, enveloping the family in a warm glow.
The photos from this session are timeless memories of anticipation, love, and family bonds. Each shot, from the carefully posed portraits to the candid moments, tells a story of a family growing and evolving together. As a photographer, capturing these milestones in Seaside Heights – from weddings to maternity and newborn sessions – is an absolute honor.
Now we just have to wait and see if it’s a boy or girl. Stay tuned because I’m booked to do the newborn photos and can hardly wait!
