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.
Like a setting sun, hard to believe January’s almost in the rearview mirror.
The sun’s a little higher, the miles feel a little easier, and the ski wax will soon be giving way to sand between the toes. 🏃♂️⛷️🌊
And in a few days, that old groundhog will have his say. ☮️❤️😀 #keepmovingforward #keepdreaming #liveyourdash #obxsunset #corolladise

Another perfect morning in Corolla — where the pathways lead to quiet moments, the ocean lights up like fire, and the day begins exactly the way it should. No traffic. No stress. Just salt air, sunrise magic, and that unmistakable Corolla calm. ☮️❤️😀 #republicofcorolla #roc
The New Official Seal of the Republic of Corolla
The Seal of the Republic of Corolla is a masterpiece of coastal symbolism, steeped in salt air, sunburn, and just the right amount of rebellion.
At its center rises the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, standing tall as the Republic’s eternal beacon—guiding confused locals, lost tourists, wayward pelicans, and the occasional rogue paddleboarder safely home. It represents vigilance, hospitality, and our shared commitment to never climbing all those stairs again.
To the side, a surfer carries his board overhead, symbolizing the tireless pursuit of the perfect wave (and the willingness to look heroic doing it). His stance reflects the Republic’s national motto: “Stay Upright and Carry On.”
The wild horse gallops freely across the sands, a proud descendant of Spanish explorers—or maybe just the world’s most photogenic beach bum. Either way, it reminds us that true freedom requires no fence, no shoes, and definitely no schedule.
Behind it all shines the sun, its radiant rays blessing the land with golden light and the occasional sunburn. The ocean waves beneath complete the circle—constant, powerful, and occasionally in your cooler.
Encircling it all, the proud declaration:“Republic of Corolla – est. 2009” —a timeless reminder that greatness can indeed be founded on a summer evening, a stretch of sand, and a really good idea.
