As the owner and founder of a professional photography studio in Ocean City, NJ (America's Greatest Family Resort) I am no stranger to beach photography or beach portraits and family portraits. After all, Ocean City was just rated with the title of #1 Beaches In New Jersey so you can imagine the beautiful backdrops you can achieve and the magnificent photographs a beautiful beach sunset can achieve. Photographing clients on the beach is a wonderful experience and the natural light and seascape leads to a unique picture with every client.

Ocean City Beaches offer scenic backgrounds such as jetties and large rocks, piers, dunes and more that all enhance the natural beauty of the beach photo. Children are always fun to photograph at the shore because you can get a suprise shot in or out of the water to bring that extra little bit of action to the photoshoot. At The Perfect Exposure we encourage our clients to shoot on location at the beach to lend the magnificent seascape to the background of their portraits

Beach photographs require a little more planning and technical expertise than studio portaits because you dont have control of certain key conditions on location in nature as you would in your studio. This is where our professional photography experience comes into play. We have been shooting professional beach potos, beach weddings and waterside family portraits for nearly three decades. We have been at the same location in downtown Ocean City for more than twenty years. Although we cant control the weather or natural lighting or wind conditions our experience with it over the years affords us certain tips and tricks to work with what we cant neccessarrily change. Weather conditions, time of day, the season and the tide are all taken into consideration when setting up a beach photo session.

If you have questions we would love to hear from you and discuss your photography needs in further detail.

We usually like to setup our beach photo sessions later in the afternoon as the setting sun lends a beautiful natural light to the photographs. We also like to shoot uptown when possible to take advantage of the natural seascapes that the Jersey Shore has to offer. Sure shooting on the beach is a little bit tricky and sometimes best left to the professional photographers for that everlasting memery but thats why we are here.
