Lifestyle Ridgewood family photo session

I love watching my clients families grow and change and that’s why I was so excited about this Ridgewood family photo session.  Last time I photographed them, they were a family of 4 and I was looking forward to capturing them as a family of 5!   As I do with a lot of my Signature photo sessions, we split up this session between a local park and this family’s home and we got so many wonderful lifestyle images that I am known for – and that this family (and so many others!) adore!  And and I am glad that baby L. is now represented in wall art in his home – along with his brothers:)

Maternity, toddler and family session all combined into one! | Ridgewood family photographer

Here is a session spotlight of a recent photo session with one of the cutest Ridgewood families!   When this Mom first contacted me to book a session she mentioned that she wanted to commemorate baby E. turning one (a huge milestone in itself!), capture family images and celebrate the upcoming arrival of baby #2!  And with a Signature Session we were able to do it all!

We started out with this family session in Wyckoff – at James McFaul Environmental Center – with daffodils in bloom from mid April till mid May, it is a perfect backdrop for family images.  And then we got more images in downtown Ridgewood, which is great for a more ‘urban’ photo session.

Her parents are absolutely head over heels in love with baby E. – it was so amazing to witness and photograph that.  Being a family photographer I specialize in capturing family connections and this image from their session is one of my favorite images to date!

I LOVE photographing Dads with their little girls – I think daughters bring out a a side in a man that no one else can.  It was amazing to see how in love he was over E.  And baby E. is definitely her Daddy’s little girl- all she wanted was being held by him!  And when her Daddy was not around, she was happy hanging out with her Mommy:)

I loved photographing this family – and helping them capture and preserve what their adorable E. looked like and was like at one – her chubby cheeks, dimply arms, long lashes and a very very sweet toothy grin.  After we were done with the session I could not control my self any longer and gave her many many hugs and gentle squeezes:)

Natural Family Images in New Jersey

I met this family in Wyckoff, in one of my favorite parks in Bergen County for their first ever family photo session.  They drove from Manhattan for this lifestyle family session and I was so impressed that they were able to meet me bright and early with two young kids – from experience I know that getting two kids ready is the morning is a very time consuming and almost impossible to achieve task.

The parents were so relaxed, easy going and up for absolutely everything I recommended: walking in a damp park to get to a cool location – sure! sitting on a gravel to take a few images – absolutely!

The kids seem to take their cues from the parents and were absolutely perfect – happy, playful and so natural in front of the camera.   Big brother J.is Mia and Alexa’s age so I was able to speak his language and discuss the latest goings on on Nick Jr. TV channel.  The Mom was armed with a whole lot of ‘props’ for J. for the session – from bubbles to a soccer ball to an extra t-shirt that came it quite handy.  It was great incorporating all of them into the session and capturing him being an active ‘big’ boy that he is:)

And little baby N. is absolutely adorable – so beautiful and cuddly – I could barely contain myself from kissing her chubby cheeks.  Her big brown eyes, super long eye lashes and four teeth that make an appearance when she smiles – beyond cute!

Lifestyle family sessions are some of my favorites – I just love witnessing tender and real moments between parents and kids; we’ve got a lot of them captured during this session – see for yourselves:)
