I've known this couple for over a decade, and was super excited when they asked me to photograph them with their amazing new tattoos. We played around with lighting and poses and ended up with a really nice combination of styles: magazine ad, headshot, couples boudoir, and ink closeups.
While it was 90 degrees and humid in Philadelphia, the weather at the shore in Stone Harbor, New Jersey was a relatively brisk 65 degrees and very windy. Three generations came together for a week on the beach, and I got to capture their lovely family: Grandma, Grandpa, two siblings, their spouses, and the 18 month and 3 year old first cousins. We had to shoot a couple hours before sunset to accommodate the kids' bedtimes, so the light was a bit harsher than is desirable, and the wind was blowing hair everywhere, but we still got some fun shots. Enjoy!
