HUGE Industry Recognition | Award Winning Photographer

I am back from my great European adventure (Sicily and Malta were awesome and deserve a dedicated blog post, which will see the light of day eventually) – and while I was away I got some great news.  One of my images got a merit award at the International Image Competition held by NAPCP (National Association of Professional Children Photographers)!  This is a very well regarded photography competition with literally thousands of professional images submitted from all over the world so receiving this award is a HUGE honor!   And the fact that both of my girls are in this award winning picture makes it even more special!:)

Fun Bergen County extended family photo session with long time clients | Ridgewood photographer

You know what they say  – “man plans, God Laughs?”  That is what happened with this Ridgewood family photo session with one of my oldest clients.  For their extended family session (they had family visiting from out of country and wanted to get images of everybody together) we thought that it would be nice to split the session into two: we would start downtown with a session with  the immediate family of three – Mom, Dad and one of my favorite girls in the world – G.and and then head over to their house for the extended family portion of a photo shoot.   Well that’s not how it worked out (we’ve got a smoked chicken to blame for that!) and instead we ended up photographing four girls downtown.  It was definitely a different session from what we had it mind but probably a more fun one – there was lots of hugging and laughing and jumping and ice cream eating:)

 

 

and then we did go back to their Ridgewood home for the second part of the photoshoot – and there was more hugging and laughing and even some pool diving:)

I am seriously very lucky to have such amazing clients – who come back to me year after year after year, allow me to watch their kids grow from adorable toddlers to beautiful girls (and boys), who laugh with me and give me hugs when I need them.

Keeping it real |Ridgewood holiday photo session

Last time I photographed these guys they were a family of 5  – it was great seeing them again, as a family of SIX this time!  They came to my Ridgewood photo studio to get pictures for their holiday cards.  We’ve got lots of great images of them smiling but my absolutely favorite one is this one – it is just so real!:)

Fall family photo session fun in Ridgewood

I’ve been photographing G. and her family for over four years and between family sessions (we’ve done them in their home, downtown Ridgewood, in a park in Wyckoff – just to name a few), studio Christmas sessions and First Communions photo sessions I lost count of how many photoshoots we had together.  What I do know though is that every single session with these guys is so fun and I literally look forward to seeing and photographing them.  I love seeing being able to watch G. grow and document it along the way.  When she was younger she told me that I was ‘a very good picture-taker’.  That, completed with the fact that she LOVES her photoshoots makes for successful photo sessions:)

This family does a family photo session every year but G. is the one who asks her parents to schedule Ridgewood photo studio shoots just for her in between  – Christmas and First Communion ones:)  She loves the camera and the camera (and I!) love her!

I started this photoshoot with hanging out with G. in her bedroom (she has the coolest room!) – she was telling me about her favorite toys, lego sets (I was REALLY impressed with the start wars one!) and books.   Then it was onto a very passionate game of Monopoly, which, I was told, took over TWO days to complete:)  Afterwards we hung out in the backyard for some cuddly images with her Mom and Dad and Grandma as well as some action shots on her swing set.  And once that was done we headed over to a park in Wyckoff for some leaf-throwing fun!:)

I love how these images – I think they capture this amazing girl perfectly.  And I love that this family chooses to decorate their home with their family photos – I love seeing my work being enjoyed by my customers day after day after day!

Jumping, hugging and laughing gallore | Ridgewood family photo session

Can I just say how much I LOVE outdoor family photo sessions?  And I especially love them after a long long winter during which I spent photographing many family and children at my Ridgewood photo studio.  And while I love my studio and Ridgewood studio sessions, I am thrilled to be able to photograph outdoors again!

I first met this family last year (you can see pictures from their family session in Wyckoff here) and this year to keep things interesting we decided to choose a different location and agreed on having this photoshoot in downtown Ridgewood.  I love photographing families in Ridgewood – and not just because I live and work there:)  It is a really cute town with a very picturesque downtown and I’ve had clients from all over Bergen County (and some from NYC) travel to Ridgewood to have their family photo sessions there.

I always love photographing old clients – seeing how much kids have grown and changed and parents stayed the same:)  And I always feel so honored when people choose me as their family photographer and come back to me year after year after year!

This session was so much fun – there was lots of jumping and hugging and laughing and more jumping!  I had a great time – and I think these guys did as well – and it shows in the pictures!
