Photographing returning clients at Bergen County photo studio

When I started out on this photography journey back in 2008 my primary focus was on-location photography – I’ve photographed kids and families all over Bergen County. And while I LOVE on-location photo sessions I also love photographing kiddoes at my photo studio. My photography studio is located in Ridgewood, a block away from Hohokus and very close to Allendale, Saddle River, Old Tappan and other Bergen county towns. It is spacious and beautiful, gets great natural light AND I’ve got great snacks there!

But my favorite part of holding photo sessions at the studio (other than the fact that there is always plenty of chocolate there!) is that this is a place where kids can shine and just be themselves. I am not a big believer in props or backdrops – so I don’t have any of those at the studio. Instead I focus on bringing out kids true personality – I want them to be themselves and that’s what I strive to capture. I can be super silly at my photo sessions and some kids react well to that. Some kids are shy so I give them space and observe them from the distance till they warm up a bit.

I’ve been photographing these two for many years now – I first ‘met’ big sister A when she was still in her Momma’s belly! And since then we’ve had a photo session once a year – I seriously lost track of how many sessions we had together. And while now, that the kids are older, they don’t change as much as they did when they were 2 or 3, it is still pretty amazing to see how much they grow year after year and how they turn into amazing people that they are. And getting a text like this one below, where their Grandma (unprompted, I might add) said that I captured their personalities, really made my day!

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!

Downtown Ridgewood family photo session

I’ve lived in Ridgewood for over 8 years and I love this town more and more every day. Not only it is a great place to live but it is a wonderful place for family photo sessions! It’s got so many cool spots with colorful doors, green ivy, cool graffiti – it has textures and personalities and truly is a photographer’s dream. No wonder I photograph so many families there:)

These guys came all the way from Hoboken for their family photo session – and they loved what Ridgewood had to offer! I first met them for the little brother G.’s sitting up studio session (you can see it here). They were so wonderful to work with and I was really looking forward to their family session so that I could photograph all four of them. The Mom did a great job picking out outfits, they were early for a session (a huge accomplishment considering that they were driving all the way from Hoboken and had to get not one but TWO young kids ready) and all of them were excited about the session. I had a blast capturing smiles, hugs, giggles, kisses and love them all shared. It was such a great family photo session – if I may say so myself;)

Bergen county family photos with repeat clients

When you have clients with young kids who drive two hours (EACH WAY!) for a photo session with you, you know that you must be doing something right:) I first photographed this family when big brother D. was two years old; now his younger brother is older than that! I love seeing them every year and always have such a blast with them. And the fact that they are some of the best dressed kids I’ve seen (their Mom should be my stylist because she does an amazing job picking out the cutest and most styling outfits for them) does not hurt either:)

This family is so sweet and lovely and I honestly cannot say how much I love and appreciate them coming to me (and driving for hours) for their annual photo session with me!

A 15 min photo session | wyckoff photographer

Every year I try to take pictures of my girls in the spring among blooming trees and flowers. Last April we road-tripping in Europe (still need to blog that trip!) and by the time we got back all the flowers were gone. I was hoping to their session this year but things got busy with clients sessions and I almost did not make this photoshoot happen… almost! I rallied at the very last minute, grabbed my kids in their favorite outfits (a dress for Mia and a tank top/jeans and her signature cat ears handband for Alexa) and off we went. We literally had 15 minutes and that’s all it took to capture my kids are they are silly expressions and all! And as an added bonus Victor came with me so we snapped a few pictures of each other. Neither Victor, nor I were camera ready but that did not stop us from getting in front of the camera with our girls!
