Photographing brother and sister Ridgewood photo studio | Bergen county children photographer

In my heart I was and always will be a lifestyle family photographer – family photography is what a lot of clients all over New Jersey come to me for and this is what I am known for in Ridgewood, Wyckoff and other surrounding towns in Bergen County.  But since I opened my Ridgewood photography studio back in 2013 (I cannot believe I’ve had a studio for close to 5 years now!) I discovered my love for simple portraits and for studio photography.  There is definitely something to be said about classic portraiture – simple, no props, just capturing children (and families) as they are.  And that’s why I love photographing kids at my Ridgewood photo studio – especially in the winter!

I met this duo a  few weeks ago when their Mom brought them to my Ridgewood studio for their session.  In the session questionnaire the Mom said that both kids were a bit shy and very close to each other.  Their shyness went out the window literally a few minutes into the session; little sister K was full of sass and her big brother L was thoughtful and entertaining.  I could see the bond between the two right away – in their hugs and play fights and just the way they were with each other.

And if you want to capture fun and simple portraits of your kids take advantage of my milestone studio sessions and then you can have beautiful images like these as well!
