Downtown Ridgewood Teen Photo Session

I’ve been a Bergen County family photographer for many many years and it’s true that most of the families I photograph are families with young-ish children. But as a mom of teens I firmly believe that having family sessions with older kids is just as important as having these sessions with younger kids. Sure, teens are not always cute and cuddly as toddlers and forget about even suggesting possible photo shoot outfits to them… But teens have got so much to offer – they can be fun and funny and if you get to know them – really cool!

This family photo session session with two older girls was such a treat! This family lives in Ridgewood (this photoshoot was a gift to their Dad – and what a nice gift it was!) so we decided to do the photoshoot in Ridgewood – after all we live in such a cute town and it makes for great backdrops for family photo sessions.

I’ve photographed these guys years ago when they were little and it was really cool for me to see and photograph them now – they sure look very differently from our last photo session! They were so easy to photograph and I can’t tell who had more fun at this session – the girls (and judging from their smiles – they did have fun) or I !

Bergen County Graduating Senior Photos in Ridgewood

As you can tell from my website and blog, I am a Bergen County family and children photographer and photographing families and children is what I do most.

And as a family photographer one of my greatest joys is watching the kids I photograph grow up and mature and change. I’ve been photographing this girl since she was FIVE and it was so surreal to do her senior photos. I will be honest – I got teary-eyed at the end of her senior photo session!

Since she lives in Ridgewood and goes to Ridgewood High school, we decided to do her senior photo session at the high school. RHS is beautiful on the outside (although my kids tell me that inside is another story!) and makes for a perfect backdrop for Ridgewood senior photos. Most of the graduating seniors I talked to, were more than ready to be done with high school but I am sure that they all would appreciate having their high school captured in photos and looking at them years down the line.

Older kids are not in photos that often and it’s so good for them to have professional photos that truly reflect who they are – in addition to standard senior photos you get at the high school. And think about how nice these images will look in their senior yearbook:)

So if you live in Bergen county and are interested in booking a senior photo session in Bergen County reach out to me – I would love to work with you and your senior!

Cousins galore | Ridgewood Extended family photo session

When a old time client reached out to me and told me that she wanted to book a Ridgewood family photoshoot with family visiting from France I jumped on this idea.My sister does not live close by (although she does not live as far as France!) and I know how special it is when she and all her kids come to visit – everybody catching up, my kids spending time with their cousins – it’s always so much fun and so special. And you better believe that I have tons of photos of these visits:). So naturally I was thrilled to be able to capture that for a client.

We decided on a downtown Ridgewood for this family photoshoot – I’ve done many sessions there and always love it – it is so charming with many cute areas that make for beautiful backdrops for any time of photo-session from a family one to senior photos! These guys were great to work with and judging by their smiles I don’t think they had too bad of a time at their family photo session:)

If you are interested in a Bergen County family photo session like this one, don’t hesitate to reach out to me and see what fun images of YOUR family we can create together!

Bergen County Teen Photography

Every year since I first opened my photography studio in Ridgewood (so for the last 10 years) I take my kids to the studio around their birthdays for their birthday photo shoot. When they were little there was A LOT of bribing involved but the older they got, the more they started to appreciate these sessions. For the last few years they actually enjoy going to the studio and having their portraits taken. And I absolutely love having these milestones recorded – my babies are not babies any more!:(

Ridgewood Studio family session

I am known for my on-location family photography and I love photographing my clients at their favorite spots all over Bergen county – be in their homes, parks, apple orchards, etc. But I also love my Ridgewood natural light photography studio and I am especially grateful for having it in the winter. Knowing that I have a beautiful place with amazing natural light (and plenty of studio lights in case the weather is not cooperating) to do sessions is very comforting.

I love my studio for variety of sessions but some of my favorites to do at the studio are family sessions for families with older kids. There are no distractions, no props, I don’t ask them to run around or tell them silly jokes – instead we just focus on capturing timeliness photos that I think families will treasure for years to come!

So if you are looking to get family photos done, you don’t need to wait till it’s nice out – just reach out to me and I will welcome you to my Ridgewood photo studio with open arms!
