Capturing Life's Beautiful Moments at the Jersey Shore: A Peek Into My Family, Maternity, and Engagement Photography Sessions
Hi there! I'm Desiree, and I specialize in capturing those once-in-a-lifetime moments through my photography. Whether it’s family, maternity, or engagement sessions, I absolutely love being able to freeze time and preserve memories that will last a lifetime. As a photographer at the Jersey Shore, I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful places like Ocean City, Stone Harbor, and Cape May, which are the perfect backdrops for all the special moments I get to capture.
Fun, Playful & Full of Life: The Essence of My Photography Style
My photography style is all about having fun and embracing the natural energy of the moment. I’m not a fan of stiff, posed photos; I believe in letting the real moments shine through. My sessions are lighthearted and spontaneous, just like a day at the beach! Whether it’s capturing families splashing in the waves at Ocean Grove or a mom-to-be soaking in the sunset in Long Branch, I always aim to create an atmosphere where everyone can feel free, relaxed, and themselves.
For me, the best moments happen when everyone is having fun—whether that’s a couple twirling in the sand at Cape May or a child running freely along the beach in Wildwood Crest. My goal is to capture those playful, genuine moments that reflect the true joy of the day. The Jersey Shore has this unique energy, and I love how it brings out the best in every session.
Family Photography: Playful Memories in Every Frame
Family sessions are some of my favorites. There’s something magical about capturing families together, laughing, playing, and just being themselves. Picture this: your family running through the surf in Avalon, kids splashing around as the sun dips low on the horizon. That’s the kind of moment I love to capture—real, unposed, and filled with joy.
The best part of working with families is creating a space where everyone feels comfortable, from young children to grandparents. Whether we’re building sandcastles at Ocean City or sharing a quiet moment in Cape May, I’m there to capture those connections, laughs, and little gestures that make each family unique. These moments are always filled with fun, and I want to help preserve them for you forever.
Maternity Photography: Celebrating the Glow of New Life
Maternity sessions are always so special. There’s something so beautiful about the anticipation of a new life, and I love capturing that glow. Whether it’s a mom-to-be walking barefoot in the sand in LBI or gazing at the horizon in Margate, I’m there to capture the joy and excitement that come with waiting for your little one to arrive.
My maternity sessions aren’t just about the bump—they’re about celebrating the love, the connection, and the journey of parenthood. I want you to feel relaxed and beautiful, soaking in the beauty of the Jersey Shore while I photograph you in those precious moments before your family grows. Whether we’re in Long Beach Island or near the Cape May Lighthouse, I’ll work with you to create the perfect environment for photos that feel as natural and joyful as your experience.
Engagement Photography: Romance and Playfulness by the Sea
When it comes to engagement sessions, I want every couple to feel like they’re having a fun, romantic adventure by the sea. I love capturing couples as they laugh, play, and celebrate their love for one another. Whether it’s a quiet walk along the shore at Sea Girt or splashing around in the surf at Point Pleasant Beach, I want you to feel the excitement of your new chapter together.
Engagement photos should be relaxed and authentic, and that’s the vibe I bring to every session. Whether you’re twirling on the beach in Lavallette or sharing a quiet moment near the OCNJ boardwalk, my goal is to make sure the photos reflect your unique connection, love, and joy. It’s all about having fun and creating memories that you’ll cherish forever.
The Jersey Shore: A Perfect Backdrop for Every Session
One of the things I love most about photographing at the Jersey Shore is the variety of stunning locations we have to work with. From the vibrant energy of Asbury Park to the peaceful serenity of Stone Harbor, each beach town has its own unique charm, and I love incorporating that into every session. Whether we’re capturing a breathtaking sunrise in Cape May or taking a stroll along the boardwalk in Ocean City, the Shore’s beauty and relaxed vibe make it the perfect place to create timeless photos.
I’m constantly inspired by the natural beauty and carefree atmosphere of the Jersey Shore. The ocean, the sand, the sunsets—it all comes together to create the perfect setting for my fun, playful style of photography. Every photo I take is filled with light, love, and a sense of freedom, and I can’t wait to share those moments with you.
So, if you’re ready to capture some beautiful memories with your loved ones, I’d love to work with you! Let’s make some magic at the Jersey Shore.
