Positives About a Sunrise Family Portrait in Stone Harbor New Jersey

As mentioned above the weather is usually extremely calm right as the sun is coming up. This can be a good or bad thing depending on if the bugs are out or not. Definitely bring bug spray if you are planning a sunrise portrait.
Less people on the beach. Usually there are only a few crazy early morning risers out on the beach for sunrise. This gives us a lot of beach space to work with and the lifeguard stands are all empty.
You get to see the sun actually rise over the water. For sunset family portrait sessions you don’t get to see much of the sun since it sets over the mainland. With a morning sunrise portrait you get gorgeous photos of the sun as it’s coming up over the ocean.
