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.
Choosing a family photographer for your Outer Banks vacation shouldn’t feel complicated… but wow, there are a lot of Corolla photographers and Duck NC photographers out there.
Quick tip from someone who’s been doing this a long time: experience and a timeless style matter more than you think — especially on a windy OBX beach with kids, grandparents, and shifting light.
Great family portraits aren’t about trendy poses or fast snapshots. They’re about creating something you’ll still love hanging on your walls years from now.
Book your session now for while you’re all together. That’s when the memories actually exist. ✌️❤️🙂

sometimes me and ole dunc can tell what the daily news headlines will be by viewing the social posts by our friends 🤦♂️☮️❤️😀🐾 #dreambig #justdoit @duncan_the_jackrat

happy Monday (unless of course you are a pats fan) ☮️❤️🤣 #itdoesntmatter
It’s started.
Just a touch more light earlier in the morning, the days stretching ever so slightly.
This is the view out my living room window in NJ—woods lit by the moon, snow still on the ground.
Winter’s holding on, but the light is changing.
✌️❤️🙂 ❄️

Looks like July… feels like February. 🌅❄️
The light is warm, the water’s glowing, and the scene screams summer—but up here in New Jersey, it’s still gloves-on, breath-in-the-air cold.
Runner legs grinding through winter miles, skier mindset still in play, surfer soul patiently waiting its turn.
Can’t wait for warm sand, barefoot mornings, and those long summer evenings when the ocean finally stops biting back. Until then, we dream, we train, and we chase the light—camera always in hand.
Summer’s coming. I can feel it. ☮️❤️😀
Morning coffee vibes ☕️
Listening to my friend Rob Wilson’s podcast, Out Loud with Rob and Rachel, and laughing way more than I expected.
It’s genuinely funny, easy to listen to, and clearly resonating — one episode has racked up over 1.5 million views.
If you’re looking for something light, smart, and entertaining to start your day, check it out. Available wherever you get your podcasts haha ☮️❤️😀😆
One portrait on the wall
beats a hundred on a hard drive.
When families are all together, it’s worth preserving. Because sometimes “we’ll do it later” quietly becomes never.
If you’d like to plan a family or large family beach portrait in Corolla or anywhere in the Outer Banks, you can call or text me anytime at 908-313-6995 ☮️❤️😀
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
