Mahwah Family Photo session | Bergen county photographer

I’ve photographed this Mahwah family for many years now – for our first session James was still in his mama’s belly – and every year we try to do something different for their session.  Last year we had their family session at Secor Farms which was AWESOME and I did not know how we could possibly top those images.  Well, this year we did!   I love photographing my clients are locations that are meaningful to them – be in their house or a place where they go fishing or a downtown where they spend a lot of their time.  So when this Mom told that about a location that was very special to them I jumped on the chance to photograph them there; then she told me that there was an old red barn on the property and that got me even more excited; then she mentioned that there were lots and lots of old cars there – as I was listening to a description of this property I was getting more and more excited about having a session there.  And when I arrived there a bit before the session to scope out a place and get ready I almost squealed with joy – this was a photographer’s dream!  So many different colors and textures and cool spots!   We all had a BLAST there and the images came out AWESOME!

I took thousands pictures last year and had to enlist my trusty friends in the photography business to help me narrow down images to the top 25.   Now it is up to you to decide which image gets the title of the Image of the Year at Live Love Laugh Photos – and an AWESOME prize that goes along with it:)

The winner (an image with the most combined votes) will receive a 16×24 gallery wrapped canvas (valued at $500) of the winning image.

2) The Runner up will receive a $250 gift certificate to be used towards a Simplicity or a Signature session in 2018.

Grandkids/grandparents portraits at Bergen County studio

My girls ADORE their cousins.  Unfortunately we don’t live that close together and they only get to see each other 2 or 3 times a year but boy, do they make those times count!  And every time they come up North to New Jersey I drag everyone to my photography studio for a few quite portraits.  We did not have much time for this photo session (the baby was crying, I was tired from lack of sleep, everyone was hungry) but I was able to get a few quick images of the girls – I think their personalities do shine through these photos.

What made this photo session super special was 1) we had a new cousin in the pictures and 2)my parents came with us and I was able to get a shot of them with their FIVE granddaughters!

Ridgewood studio photo session with a sweet 8 months old

I’ve been photographing many many many adorable babies at my Ridgewood photography studio lately but I have to say that this one is one of my favorites… Maybe the fact that I am her aunt and may be a teeny tiny bit biased has something to do with it but seriously – how cute is she?!  Baby Michelle is the youngest in the family and is absolutely adored by everyone – including my dog!  She has chunky legs, even chunkier cheeks, elbow dimples, huge eyes, super long eye lashes and the most amazing smile!   Michelle just turned 8 months – which is a perfect age for studio photos:)

Live Love Laugh Photos is a Bergen county premier photography studio that specializes in authentic children and family portraits.  Our Ridgewood photography studio is a perfect location for fun and natural children portraits.  So if you want to capture your baby as she is growing up, give us a call!

Ridgewood lifestyle family photo session | Bergen County photographer

Being a Bergen County family and children photographer for close to 8 years I’ve photographed many many many families over the years.  I do my best to blog these sessions and share what I think makes each family and session special.  As result there are probably hundreds of blog entries on this website and of course you can view them in Archives on this website but really, who has time to look through that, right? 🙂   So I’ve decided to introduce Throw Back Thursdays to this blog!  I am so excited that old family and children sessions will get to see the light of day again as part of Throw Back Thursday series:)  So without further ado I present to you a Ridgewood family photo session I did with one of my favorite families – enjoy!

Can I just say how much I LOVED this Ridgewood family photo session?  This is my fifth session with this awesome family – every time I photograph them I feel that the session I just did is my favorite session. And of course this was the case this year – I absolutely love the images we got and now this is my favorite session of this family:)

This year we decide to split up the session between their Ridgewood home for fun images with their house and downtown Ridgewood – for some urban shots.  That’s a great thing about my Signature sessions – they don’t have to take place in the same location and so many of my clients take advantage of that – and get a great variety of images and capture places that are meaningful to them!

This family loves lifestyle family photography and so do I – and I had a blast photographing parents and kids doing what they do best – having fun together.  There were kites and bubbles, chocolate chip cookies and peek-a-boos, hugs and cuddles and even some upside-down action:)

I love looking through these images – I think they capture an idillic childhood and an immense amount of love these kids grow up with!
