I consider myself a very lucky photographer because a lot of my families come back to me year after year after year.  I love developing relationships with them, having our own inside jokes, watching kids grow and being there to document big and small milestones.  And eventually the line between being clients and friends gets blurrier and blurrier and each photoshoot feels more like hanging out with friends than working.  Such is the case with this family – this is their fourth family session with me and it may sound cliche but I really look forward to seeing them every year!  For this year’s photoshoot we decided to do something different and have their family photo session at a farm.  It may not be easy to find a working farm in the middle of Bergen County to have a family session at but since I am so awesome and go above and beyond for my clients I did just that!  And not only were we able to have a session at a farm but we were able to do it before it was open to the public so we had the whole place to ourselves!

I think this was one of my favorite family sessions I’ve done in a long time – it was just so much FUN!  The kids loved running around on a farm, playing in a pumpkin patch and exploring not one but TWO corn mazes!  And to top it all off there were piping hot apple cider donuts that waited for them at the end of a photo session:)

These guys always order the same canvas collage and they always display it in the same spot in their house.  Each year they replace it with a new one and ‘re-allocate’ old canvases elsewhere.  This Mom told me that it makes her really happy walking up the stairs and seeing a fresh collection of their images displayed there year after year.  And it makes me very happy coming to their house and seeing their happy images from the last four years displayed all over the house!
