I’ve been a Bergen County family photographer for many many years and it’s true that most of the families I photograph are families with young-ish children. But as a mom of teens I firmly believe that having family sessions with older kids is just as important as having these sessions with younger kids. Sure, teens are not always cute and cuddly as toddlers and forget about even suggesting possible photo shoot outfits to them… But teens have got so much to offer – they can be fun and funny and if you get to know them – really cool!

This family photo session session with two older girls was such a treat! This family lives in Ridgewood (this photoshoot was a gift to their Dad – and what a nice gift it was!) so we decided to do the photoshoot in Ridgewood – after all we live in such a cute town and it makes for great backdrops for family photo sessions.

I’ve photographed these guys years ago when they were little and it was really cool for me to see and photograph them now – they sure look very differently from our last photo session! They were so easy to photograph and I can’t tell who had more fun at this session – the girls (and judging from their smiles – they did have fun) or I !

When a old time client reached out to me and told me that she wanted to book a Ridgewood family photoshoot with family visiting from France I jumped on this idea.My sister does not live close by (although she does not live as far as France!) and I know how special it is when she and all her kids come to visit – everybody catching up, my kids spending time with their cousins – it’s always so much fun and so special. And you better believe that I have tons of photos of these visits:). So naturally I was thrilled to be able to capture that for a client.

We decided on a downtown Ridgewood for this family photoshoot – I’ve done many sessions there and always love it – it is so charming with many cute areas that make for beautiful backdrops for any time of photo-session from a family one to senior photos! These guys were great to work with and judging by their smiles I don’t think they had too bad of a time at their family photo session:)
