All of my photo sessions are time efficient and fun for the entire family, even for those who would rather go to the dentist than have their picture taken.

I’ve worked with many families over and over again. Some have a beach photo shoot every year, some every other year, and others may be on the 3, 5, or 10 year cycle. Others have another portrait session when major their family changes occurs, perhaps there is a new spouse, child or grandchild. I’ve watched dozens of families grow over the years. There are so many perfect times to have a new family photo made.

All of the time I get get asked, “Bruce, when is the best for us to have a family photo done?” I always answer “Now……….because you never know”

Don’t be one of those shoulda woulda couldas.

I have been working in Corolla since 1992, when I built my first house here, and have seen plenty of change, but the one thing that remains the same after all these years is the beauty of the area and the beaches, and the way they seem to draw families from all over the world. That’s because the area is so conducive to families on vacation. Corolla’s many sand bars and tide pools make its beaches perfect for families with smaller children and also great for surfing. It is also a great place to learn how to surf, I highly recommend Corolla Surf Shop for lessons, they’re the best, and will have you standing up surfing during your first lesson. The warm water makes a dip in the ocean refreshing beyond belief.

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.

Big families aren’t harder to photograph — just different. ☮️❤️🙂
Decades of experience + relaxed sessions = portraits that actually feel like your family.

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. ✌️❤️🙂

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.

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
