Being one of most exclusive Ridgewood family and children photographers I’ve photographed so many families with young kids in and around Ridgewood. Most parents want to capture their kids when they are young but photographing ‘older’ kids – teens and tweens does not seem that popular.  And while older kids don’t change as much as young kids do, I think it is just as important to have family pictures with tweens and teens, as it is with babies, toddler and younger kids.

I love photographing younger kids but there is something to be said about family photo sessions with older children.  I don’t need to tell them silly jokes or make a fool out of myself (which I do a lot!) to make them laugh:)  This family was SO MUCH FUN!  We had their session on one of the coldest day of the year (I think it was 28 degrees at the time of the photoshoot) and they were awesome braving the cold.  I love their outfits and sense of style, love how relaxed and easy going they were and how much fun they had together – despite the cold!:)

So if it’s been a few years since you had a family photo session with your teenaged kids, do it now!:)
