Valerie and Jonathan Engagement Session - Love on the Court | North Cape May, New Jersey

As you see these pictures of Valerie and Jonathan, you can sense their love towards each other!

They are so adorable … enjoying time together as Jonathan drives around in a suburban area in New Jersey.

We are head out to a local library first as Valerie would like to get more information about wedding preparation but as you can see Jonathan are a bit clueless :). Then, we went to the basketball court and the beach for some fun!

Can’t wait to shoot their wedding next month!

What is that in the sand?

"Horseshoe crabs are arthropods that live primarily in and around shallow ocean waters on soft sandy or muddy bottoms. They will occasionally come on shore for mating. They are commonly used as bait and in fertilizer, and in recent years there has been a decline in number of individuals, as a consequence of coastal habitat destruction in Japan and overharvesting along the east coast of North America." excerpted from Wikipedia

As I walked around the beach yesterday, I saw many of dead horseshoe crabs washed ashore around Cape May beaches. This particular dead horseshoe crab had an open/cracked shell that filled with sand and the tail was apart from the body, laid next to it.

To capture for a dramatic look of this image, I kneeling down on my knees and put my elbows on the sands. Hope you enjoy it!

Beach Walk Path

As I walking on the beach, I feel the serenity of nature! The sound of rolling waves washed ashore and the breeze of the ocean filled the moment. What a peaceful thing to enjoy the day...



Wish you all have a good time!

Blue Chair

Walking around in North Cape May beach area in NJ is always a fun thing to do.
You can watch the ferry as it made the way from the Cape May Canal to the Delaware Bay.

As I watched people walking their dogs on the beach and others watching the sunset, I saw this blue metal chair that intrigued my creativity to how can I get a unique photo out of it.




Hope you enjoy it!
Have a great day!
