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!

Bergen county toddler studio photo session | Ridgewood photographer

Can I just say how much I love photographing babies ands toddlers at my Ridgewood photography studio? I may be a tiny bit subjective but I think my studio is perfect for that! It’s got great natural light, comfortable furniture, great colored walls (that photograph really well) and yummy snacks – what else can a toddler possibly want? 🙂 And it is very conveniently located in Bergen county – in Ridgewood right on the border with Hohokus! So if you are looking to do a photo session with your baby and toddler somewhere in Bergen county or Northern New Jersey – definitely check it out:)

I loved meeting this sweet two year old boy for his milestone session. He came with his favorite stuffed animal and his book and was a charm to photograph – I adored his mischievous smiles and his pouty lips:) And I think that an acrylic print his Mom ordered with one of his pictures will look absolutely amazing in their home!
