I’ve been working with this Ridgewood family for many years – ever since their oldest daughter was just a year old and I loved watching them change from a family of 3 to a family of four. So when this Mom told me they were expecting another addition I was thrilled – I was literally grinning ear to ear the rest of the day:)

Over the years we’ve done many many many photo sessions – from photoshoots downtown Ridgewood and family photo sessions in a park in Wyckoff, to holiday photoshoots and milestone sessions at my Ridgewood studio. But my favorite family photo sessions are the ones we’ve done at their Ridgewood home – and we’ve done a few of those:)

When baby C. was born, we did not even need to think about where we would do that photo shoot – we did it at their home. I just love photographing families in the comfort of their home – after all, most people feel most at home – well, at their home! :). I love capturing kids doing their thing – whether it is playing with their toys, reading books or just being silly! And of course one of my favorite things to photograph is babies in their nurseries – give me all the babies and all nurseries and I will be a happy camper:)

As I always tell prospective clients who are expecting their second, third (or fourth!) addition, for me, a Bergen County newborn session for families with other kids is really a family session with a newborn focus. I capture you being you – kids being happy in their space, babies cuddled up in their cribs, the whole family snuggling together. These are the types of images that bring me joy and feed my soul – and the types of images my clients love and come back to me year after year:)

So here without further ado are highlights from a Bergen county family/newborn photoshoot that took place in the family’s Ridgewood home.
