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!

Ridgewood holiday studio session

Wow, what a busy season this has been!  I’ve met and photographed so many adorable kids for their holiday cards this year!  I finished editing all holiday sessions (YAY!) and now I am slowly catching up on blogging them all – so there will be lots of great images from the holiday sessions I had at my Ridgewood photography studio!

In short 3.5 years I think I had 8 sessions with this little one! She is one of ‘my’ newborns – I’ve been photographing her since her Mom’s maternity session and since then I’ve had the pleasure of watching her grow and change year after year.   I get excited about seeing this family every single time – it is wonderful catching up with them and being amazed at little M.  This kid has SO MUCH personality – she is funny, sweet, smart and super squeezable!  Her Mom told me that at pre-school they were talking about their holiday tradition and ‘going to a studio to take pictures with Ms. Lena’ came up as one of them.  And apparently, on the back back from this photoshoot poor M. cried most of her car ride home because she did not want to leave the studio because she had so much fun with Ms. Lena.  If that’s not a successful session I don’t know what is;)

And now without further ado I present to you images from M. Ridgewood holiday session that we had at my natural light photography studio in Ridgewood!

Ridgewood holiday family photo session

Check out images from a great Bergen County family session I had recently.   I’ve been so lucky to work with so many wonderful new Bergen County families this fall season and these guys were no exception.  They were relaxed and natural in front of the camera and that translated into natural and fun images.   I look at these images and all I see is love and happiness and even though it may sound like a cliche but capturing that really warms my heart and makes me so happy!

This was their first professional photo session as a family for four – baby J. just turned a year old and they were definitely in need of updated family pictures – and professional pictures of J.!

Big sister M. is so funny and so cool – she is great at soccer and is all about Batman.  She was a Batman (not a BatGirl) for Halloween, which I think is super cool!  Little brother J. is adorable with his toothy grin – he is very proud of his walking skills:)   And together with their Mom and Dad they laughed and jumped and hugged and played with leaves and even with a soccer ball.   When I was selecting images to include in this post, I noticed that these guys were smiling or laughing in all of them – this session really was as much fun as it looked like it was.  It really was an awesome session!

Bergen County family photo session | family fun in Wyckoff

Here is a spotlight of a Bergen County family photo shoot I had in Wyckoff recently.  You may recognize these sweet kids – they came in to my Ridgewood studio earlier this year for studio portraits.

At their first session big sister K. was a bit shy and made me work hard to get a smile out of her – he brother was another story – he kept flashing me one beautiful smile after another.  At this session it was a different story – K. was my best friend – she walked with me, talked with me, posed for me and was REALLY enjoying being photographed!  When I wanted to take pictures of her brother by herself she got so said that I told her that she could sit next to him and be in the pictures:)  I cannot tell you how happy it makes me when I see kids you were previously shy warm up to me and not wanting to leave!  I also gotta mention K.’s AWESOME sense of style – she came to the session with a little purse and lots of accessories… Definitely a trend-setter in the making:)

At first her little brother C. did not share his sister’s enthusiasm about having his pictures taken – all he wanted was to be held by Daddy.  But we were able to get smiling images of him as well!
