Celebrating Life’s Sweet Moments: A Family Milestone by the Sea
As a photographer, there’s nothing quite like being invited into the joy of a family milestone. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing one of those truly special moments—a beachside gender reveal cake smash at Austinmer. It was equal parts sweet, sentimental, and unforgettable.

A Sunset Setting, A Story Unfolding
The golden hour set the scene perfectly. Soft light poured across the sand, the waves added a peaceful soundtrack, and the energy was full of excitement and love. At the heart of it all was a beautiful family, with a bubbly three-year-old ready to take on her new role as big sister.
Joy in Every Crumb
The star of the show? A gorgeous cake decorated in soft blues and pinks, hiding the big surprise inside. As the little one dove in with giggles and frosting-covered fingers, her parents watched with glowing smiles, soaking in every second. And then, the big reveal—it’s a boy!

More Than a Moment
This Austinmer beach shoot wasn’t just about a gender reveal. It was a celebration of family, connection, and new beginnings. The laughter, the mess, the pure joy—it was all so real, and that’s what made it magical.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, I packed up my camera with a full heart, knowing we’d captured something timeless.
With love J
