Downtown Ridgewood photo session with older children

Being a Bergen county family photographer I mostly photograph families with young-ish children.  Parents want to get pictures of their newborn, babies, toddlers, little kids and come back to me year after year after year for those photos.   But once children reach a certain age – around 10 or so sessions become less frequent – kids are busy with after school activities and social lives and they just don’t change as much every year.   So while I do photograph tweens and teens I don’t do it often.  But it is always a treat when I do – it is nice to have an adult conversation with my subjects!  I believe these sessions are as important as sessions with young kids  – as they are only a few more years before ‘grown up’ children leave the nest and go to college and I think it is priceless to have these last few years together captured.

I loved meeting this family – Mom and Dad and I hit it off at their pre-session consultation.  They never had their family pictures taken and they wanted to remedy the situation before their oldest went to college.  And when I met the kids I loved them as well!  I imagine that as a teenager having a photographer follow you around and pose you in a public place may not be very comfortable or fun – but these boys did great!  They were funny and relaxed, naturals in front of the camera and very entertaining!  Mom and Dad were amazing together and I cannot get over the way this Dad looked at his wife – with so much love!

They are “in love with the photos” (their words!) and I have to say that I love the way they came out as well!  And I know that a beautiful canvas collage and individual canvases these guys ordered will bring make they smile for years to come!

Photographing long time clients in Wyckofff | Bergen County family photographer

If you’ve been following my family photography blog for a while this family will look familiar to you – this is not the first time I photographed them and I think it is not the last one either:)  At the photoshoot we tried to remember how many family photo sessions we’ve had together and how many years I’ve been photographing them for and lost count – I think it’s been at least 6 years and 7 sessions!  I had the great pleasure of watching the boys grow from toddlers to big kids (the oldest is going to middle school in the fall!) and see them become a family of 5!

This photoshoot took place around little G. third bday so he got a bit more attention than his brother during photoshoot.  I think that’s a common occurrence  though because this little guy is ADORED by everybody in this family.  Being a Bergen County family photographer I meet and photograph lots of amazing families and I love capturing love between family members.  But every once in a while you photograph a family where you can FEEL the love – do I sound like a song from a Disney movie?:)  This is the case with these guys – big brothers were almost arguing about who would get to be in pictures with G!  They were sweet and so caring and did a great job making him laugh (along with the Dad!).  I did not turn around much during a photoshoot to see what was going on behind me and how these gentlemen were making G. laugh – I think some things are best left unseen:)

I love how happy and full of energy these images are – I think they reflect the T. family perfectly!

Extended family photo session in Wyckoff

As a New Jersey family photographer I love meeting and photographing new families and I am fortunate (knock on wood) to be adding more and more families to my growing list of clients.  But I think I am even more fortunate to have so many of my ‘old’ families to come back to me year after year, session after session.

Like this family, who I’ve been photographing for over FIVE years – even since this handsome little guy was just born!  I’ve said it many times before and I am sure I will say it many times again – it is so amazing for me to see ‘my’ newborns and how much they change!  My clients’ kids surely do grow up fast and it is such a privelage to see them change from a newborn, to a chubby baby to an adorable toddler to a handsome pre-schooler!

This time we did an extended family session – with grandparents and cousins visiting from out of town and out of country.  We chose a park in Wyckoff for this extended family session – this location is perfect for photoshoots with young kids – it is safe, picturesque and there is plenty of room of the kids to run around.   I love how the images turned out and I think they capture the love these guys have for each other!  I think I may have a bit of a soft spot for them because they remind me of MY family:)
