Few things are more surreal than taking a long drive to Long Beach Island and hitting the main island strip without having to stop once…except for getting to capture gorgeous off season maternity photos for a beautiful couple expecting their first baby in just a few months!

Mark & Hyojin reached out to us to capture these special photos since they hadn’t had photos together in a while, and wanted to do something special to commemorate the new chapter of their lives together. They also brought their little pup along with them who makes his debut throughout this gallery!!

LBI has been a beach we’ve been visiting since we were kids, but getting to explore it like this was really fun and breathtaking. We were able to find beautiful patches of light, and end the evening along the quiet beach. Can’t wait to go back!
