the depmans // sea isle city beach family session

Happy Friday, y’all! Today I’m sharing with you a beautiful extended family session on the gorgeous beaches of NJ (don’t believe all the hype you hear about NJ – the people and places are great!).

Case in point: this family and all their people. It’s hard to feel like an outsider when you’re around the Depmans because their sole purpose in life is making you feel welcome and included. I’ve know the Depmans for yearsssss, and Kate (that sassy little brunette) and I have been friends for what feels like forever. But I still remember the first time meeting Kate’s parents and they couldn’t stop asking me questions about myself or asking me if I was hungry or needed anything. THOSE ARE SOME GOOD PEOPLE.

I met up with these guys on a beautiful beach in Sea Isle..

 

This is Melissa. She’s a twin (you’ll see Megan below). Her family is beautiful, aren’t they?

 

They really like each other, people! It’s a miracle!

 

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii Ada!

 

This guy is so sweet + inquisitive. He’s also a jokester, which means he’s right up my alley.

 

This is Megan. She’s a twin (see above). She’s the sweetest.

 

Mama love, people.

 

SPENCE! Can I take you home with me?

 

This is sassy Katie (see above above). God she’s gorg.

 

The last of The Depman4 (that should really be a name you guys adopt) is Adam.

 

Literally the cutest, right?!

 

And the two people that started it all.. <3

 

After some portraits, we headed down to the beach to do some of my favorites: candids!

 

Expert shell collectors.

 

And a few more portraits..

 

Ada requested this shot. She’s the best.

 

Depman family – thank you so much for allowing me to capture your beautiful family. You guys are the best! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation, and I can’t wait until you see all the photos! xo, Lauren
