Our annual trek to Cape May recently ended (*sniff*), but while we were on vacation, I was excited to meet with Jess & Dave and their boys, who are all lifelong natives of Avalon, to photograph their family. The night we got together for our brief session was rather hectic and crazed with thunder rumbling in the background and overcast skies (and the radar) promising an imminent downpour and storm. As such, Jess suggested a little out-of-the-way boardwalk sanctuary right by the lighthouse so that we could run back to the car quickly just in case it started raining near the end of our session (which it did ;).
Back here at home, I got a chance to really start going through her session, and I had to chuckle a little as the portraits don’t look very “beachy” for them being taken just a few steps from the shoreline. But I suppose if you’re from the shore, chances are the sand and the surf may look just as commonplace as grass and trees to us. Ah, what a wonderful life that must be to never leave vacation! :)
