Being a Bergen County photographer for many years now I get to see a lot of children and families year after year for their sessions.   I love watching kids grow and documenting that in images – seeing images taken through the years is almost magical to me – you can see how quickly the kids change!

I’ve been photographing these adorable duo since before they were born (i.e. their Mom’s maternity session!) and then every year after that.  And I love seeing them change from babies to toddlers to beautiful ‘big’ kids!   Last three years we’ve done these sessions at my Ridgewood photo studio – its amazing how much they’ve grown in just three years!

I always recommend my clients to accessorize for their photoshoot – so I was very happy to find out that little A. was paying attention and came prepared with her favorite jewelry:)

A lot of times when people think of studio photography they imagine traditional and very posed images.  Who says that studio family sessions need to be posed and boring?  I think these two are having a blast, don’t you?:)

An image of a Mother and her kids are always very special to me and I just love this one:

There was lots of hugs and laugher and tickles and tender moments and I think all of that translated into great family photos!

I asked these guys when was the last time they had their pictures taken as a couple – without the kids in the pictures.  And like with so many others, their answer was ‘our wedding day’.  Being a family photographer I absolutely love family pictures but I always do my best to capture images of just Mom and Dad.  I love the way this one turned out!

So see – family sessions at my Ridgewood photography studio are fun for kids and adults alike!  So while it is cold and grey out come to the studio for your family pictures!
