Spring 2022

Saba Spring Cape May Vacation

This April, I kicked off my first beach session with a returning client. Chantal texted me this winter about their Spring Break vacation to Cape May, NJ. She let me know her family was returning to the area again & wanted to book another session with me. Last year, Chantal found me via an instagram hashtag. I remember we had the most amazing time & this year was the same experience!!

When they arrived on the the beach they were a happy, excited bunch! They also came bearing another gift for me. Last year, they gifted me camera socks which I absolutely love. This year they gifted me a glass from their hometown in Maryland. It was super awesome.

Scroll down to take a look at their photographs from this incredible sunset beach session.

Meet Marco, Catarina, & Luca

I had so much fun running around the beach at sunset with these three kiddos. I found out a little more about what each of them were up to.

Marco is now a golfer. He really enjoys it. He told me he went with his dad & found out that his short game is really strong. Marco told me that he has to work on his long game. I can't wait to hear more about how his game progresses as he keeps playing & practicing.

Catarina told me all about her cheerleading team. They recently placed second in a competition. She was excited to show me poses & her favorite cheerleading jumps.

Luca was super into the seashells on the beach. We listened to a few of them & chased the incoming waves. We made sure to keep a couple of shells in his pockets in order to keep him happy. Although he was a bit camera shy, I was able to sneak a few incredible photos of him.

Belly Button to Belly Button

Chantal & Miguel started laughing when I cued them to stand belly button to belly button. They remembered that they found this pose hilarious last year. We were all laughing during this set up & during my shutter clicks. But what a great way to get natural smiles from them.

Aren't they just the best looking couple?! How am I so lucky to find such incredible clients?? I am truly blesses.

Chantal, Miguel, Marco, Catarina, & Luca - Thank you so much for hiring me again & for having such an amazing time with me on the beach. I loved how you watched me leave from your beach house porch & said good bye to me as I walked to my car. I can't wait for next year's session!!

xoxo,
