Is your child making their First Holy Communion this year,
or do you know someone who is?
A CHILD’S FIRST COMMUNION IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT THAT DESERVES TO BE REMEMBERED WITH AN HEIRLOOM QUALITY PORTRAIT!
In many ways, a First Communion is a child’s first major mature decision. As an affirmation and acceptance of faith, this is a milestone in your son or daughter’s early life, and capturing this moment in time is important and essential to the story of your child,
and your family’s, lifetime.
Don’t trust this all important event to an inexperienced, part time photographer, or to a high volume, impersonal mall studio. A special event like this calls for a true Master Photographer who knows how to capture your child’s personality and create a First Communion Portrait that will stand the test of time.
I have the skill, experience, and expertise needed to create perfect First Communion Portraits.
I am an international award winning Master Photographer with over 35 years experience. I have a beautiful, distinct style that is simply not available anywhere else. A portrait session with me is fun, exciting, and easy to arrange.
Call me anytime at 800.646.5812, or e mail me at blorenz@blorenz.com ,
and we can arranges for your child’s First Communion portrait session at the location of your choice.
Lots of images of large, medium and small family groups on and off the beach in New Jersey and Corolla and Duck and the entire Outer Banks of North Carolina. There are also many images of sunrises, sunsets and surfing photos in the Outer Banks, along with a mix of dog and pet photography, business portraits and headshots from sessions in New York City and all over New Jersey. Lots of fun photos from my journey.
good ole dunc, photographed about an hour ago while hanging in the living room, then edited in chat (ai) and the iPhone photo app. Use the tool, don’t be a tool 🤣✌️❤️🐾 #keepmovingforward #classicallydigital
Most dog photos live on your phone. The best ones live on your walls.
If you’ve been thinking about doing this… do it now.
Because yeah… sometimes later becomes never.

That quiet moment when the Atlantic wakes up… light spilling over the horizon, waves just starting to breathe, and the old horse fence standing there like it’s seen it all before. Corolla mornings hit different. ☮️❤️🙂 #OuterBanksSunrise #corolladise #CorollaHorseFence
Corolla just moves a little slower…Flip flops. Ocean air. No real schedule.And somehow… that’s when families feel the most like themselves.I wrote a quick post about the slow rhythm of life here—and why it might be the most important time to capture your family portrait 👇👉 Read it here: https://blorenz.com/2026/04/the-slow-rhythm-of-life-in-corolla/ Because sometimes…Later becomes never.Peace, love, and beach time. ✌️❤️🙂#CorollaNC #OuterBanksLife #BeachVibes #CorollaFamilyPhotographer #OBXFamilyPhotos FamilyMoments RepublicOfCorolla
When was the last time your whole family was together? Not just immediate family… Everyone. Grandparents. Kids. All of it. Yeah… doesn’t happen that often.

Real question… Is your dog really just a pet? Yeah… didn’t think so. They’re part of the family. Which is exactly why they belong in your beach photos too. I wrote a quick post about why dogs are always welcome in my Outer Banks portrait sessions 👇 👉 Read it here: https://blorenz.com/2026/04/why-dogs-are-always-welcome-in-my-outer-banks-portrait-sessions/ Because one day… You’ll be really glad they were in the photo.

There’s a moment every evening in Corolla… When the sun drops low, the light turns golden, and everything just slows down. That’s when the magic happens. That’s why sunset is hands down the best time for Corolla beach family photos. I just put together a quick post explaining why this time of day makes all the difference 👇�👉 Read it here: https://blorenz.com/2026/03/the-magic-of-sunset-portraits-on-the-outer-banks/
And if you’re thinking about doing this while everyone is together… Don’t wait too long. Sunset spots book first.

Real question… Do your kids actually stand still for photos? 😂 Didn’t think so. Good news — they don’t have to. Some of the best Corolla beach family photos happen when kids are running, laughing, and just being themselves. I broke it all down here 👇 👉 Read the full post: https://blorenz.com/2026/03/prepare-kids-beach-family-photo-session-corolla/ Trust me… this will make your session way more fun (and way less stressful). And yeah… not getting this right could be a mistake that lives on forever. Peace, love, and sandy feet. ✌️❤️🙂 908-313-6995 call or text anytime!
Photographing a big family group on the beach looks easy… Until you try it. 20 people. Kids running everywhere. Wind blowing hair. Ocean light changing every five minutes. And somehow… everyone needs to look great at the exact same moment. That’s why photographing large extended family portraits on the Outer Banks is actually one of the hardest things a photographer can do. After 40+ years photographing families here in Corolla, I’ve learned a few tricks to keep sessions relaxed while still creating portraits that families will treasure for decades. Because when grandparents, kids, cousins, and siblings all gather together for one beach week… that moment deserves to be captured right. And honestly, not hiring the right photographer for that moment might be a mistake that lives on forever. Peace, love, and beach portraits. ✌️❤️🙂 #CorollaNC #OuterBanks #OBXFamilyPhotographer #CorollaFamilyPhotographer #ExtendedFamilyPortraits RepublicOfCorolla. Call or Text me anytime: 908-313-6995
Ever find yourself missing Corolla just a little? That salty breeze rolling in off the Atlantic. Flip flops in the sand. That moment when the sun dips behind the dunes and the air gets just cool enough for a hoodie. Yeah… that feeling. My classic gray Republic of Corolla hoodie was made for exactly that vibe. Soft, warm, and ridiculously comfortable, it’s the kind of hoodie you throw on for beach bonfires, sunrise coffee runs, or those evenings when the ocean breeze reminds you why Corolla always feels a little different. And with the full-color ROC logo on the back, everyone knows exactly where your beach loyalty lives. Can’t get back to Corolla this week? Throw this on… and it might just bring you back for a minute. ✌️ 👉 Grab yours here, just copy and paste this link: https://republic-of-corolla.printful.me #RepublicOfCorolla #ROCgear #CorollaNC #OuterBanksLife #OBXMemories BeachTownVibes FlipFlopLife
You can feel it, it’s happening everywhere… spring is getting closer. The days are getting longer. The sun hangs around a little later. Flip flops are starting to make their way back into the daily rotation. But if you’ve spent any time in Corolla, you know the deal… mornings and evenings still carry that little ocean chill. That cool breeze rolling in off the Atlantic. That moment when the sun dips behind the dunes. That quiet walk back from the beach when the air gets just crisp enough. Which is exactly why the official hoodie of the Republic just dropped. Soft on the inside. Solid on the outside. Built to take the chill off without slowing the vibe down. Perfect for sunrise coffee runs, beach bonfires, or those cool OBX evenings when the stars come out and nobody’s really in a hurry to head inside. Easy fit. Laid-back feel. Just throw it on and keep the good times rolling.

Kids don’t follow the plan. They create the moment. And that’s usually where the best portraits happen. ☮️❤️🙂 📞 Call or Text me anytime: 908-313-6995 Or start here: https://blorenz.com/contact/ #OBXFamilyPortraits #CorollaNC
